项目摘要

The core mission of the pre-doctoral Developmental Biology Training Program (DBTP) is to produce highly qualified, independent research scientists who are trained to take a broad interdisciplinary approach to developmental biology problems. This mission is consistent with the philosophy of the University of Chicago's Biological Sciences Division (BSD), which seeks to avoid artificial boundaries between disciplines and encourage broad based interaction and collaboration. The interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of the DBTP is enhanced by the BSD's structure: researchers in all clinical and basic science departments are housed in close proximity and united under one administrative and intellectual framework. The DBTP trainers are a vibrant group of thirty-six well-funded researchers, including experienced senior faculty and talented junior faculty, based in nine BSD departments (basic science and clinical) and two adjacent Physical Sciences departments. To produce researchers trained in a variety of areas relevant to human health and disease, the DBTP builds on both long-standing and burgeoning University of Chicago strengths in developmental biology. We have well-established strengths in the genetics of model organisms, the cellular basis of development, and evolutionary developmental biology. During this second funding period, strategic new hires have enabled the program to expand its research strengths in stem cell biology, the use of computation/modeling/systems level approaches in developing systems, and in particular developmental neurobiology, a research area that is being positively influenced by the new University of Chicago Grossman Institute for Neuroscience, Quantitative Biology and Human Behavior. DBTP trainees are carefully selected from six interdisciplinary graduate training programs: training grant support begins as they enter their second year of studies and generally extends for two years, subject to competitive renewal. We propose to continue to support four trainees for the next two years, and then increase that number to five trainees in years 3-5 to take advantage of the expanding pool of students with interests in developmental neurobiology. This number of trainees will allow us to be highly selective, while maintaining a critical cohort size. Trainees benefit from a strategically designed curriculum that includes access to six dedicated formal courses in developmental biology, a new requirement for quantitative training, and an extensive range of supplemental training-related activities. Among these activities are the DBTP sponsored developmental biology seminar series and journal/data in progress club (plus associated new communications course), an annual retreat, and regular student-run DBTP-sponsored symposia. In summary, the DBTP integrates a wide range of varied training approaches to prepare future leaders in developmental biology research and education.

博士前发育生物学培训计划（DBTP）的核心使命是生产高素质，独立的研究科学家接受培训，以采取广泛的跨学科方法发展生物学问题。该任务与芝加哥大学的理念一致生物科学部（BSD），旨在避免学科和鼓励广泛的互动和协作。跨学科和协作性质 BSD的结构增强了DBTP：所有临床和基础科学部门的研究人员都是在一个行政和智力框架下靠近靠近，并统一。 DBTP培训师是一个充满活力的36个资金资助的研究人员，包括经验丰富的高级教师和才华横溢初级教师，位于九个BSD部门（基础科学和临床）和两个相邻的物理科学部门。为了在与人类健康和疾病有关的各个领域进行培训的研究人员，DBTP 建立在芝加哥发展生物学的长期和新兴的芝加哥大学的基础上。我们在模型生物的遗传学，发育的细胞基础和进化发展生物学。在第二个融资期间，战略新员工使计划扩大干细胞生物学的研究优势，计算/建模/系统级别的使用开发系统，尤其是发育神经生物学的方法，这是一个正在的研究领域芝加哥新大学神经科学研究所的积极影响，定量生物学和人类行为。 DBTP受训者是从六个跨学科研究生培训计划中精心挑选的：培训赠款支持开始于他们进入第二年学习，并且通常会延长两年，但竞争性更新。我们建议在接下来的两年中继续支持四名学员，然后增加在3 - 5年内，这一数字是五名学员，以利用有兴趣的学生池发育神经生物学。这个数量的学员将使我们具有高度选择性，同时保持关键队列大小。受训者受益于一项战略设计的课程，其中包括访问六个发育生物学专门的正式课程，定量培训的新要求以及广泛的与补充培训有关的活动。这些活动包括DBTP赞助发展生物学研讨会系列和日记/数据进度俱乐部（以及相关的新沟通课程），年度务虚会和常规的学生经营的DBTP赞助的研讨会。总之，DBTP 整合了各种各样的培训方法，以准备未来的发育生物学领导者研究和教育。
