DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is to continue a training program in molecular virology and pathogenesis for 4 PhD students. This training program involves 9 virologists from Cornell University throughout the campus, including the Department of Microbiology and Immunology in the College of Veterinary Medicine, as well as the Departments of Molecular Biology and Genetics, and Plant Pathology, in addition to one virologist at the Boyce Thompson Institute. The common themes of the program are in molecular virology and the interactions between viruses and their host cells and tissues. The laboratories involved work on a variety of different viral systems, including herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis, influenza and coronavirus cell infection, parvovirus host range, reovirus and calicivirus cell replication mechanisms, retrovirus capsid assembly, baculovirus replication, and the interactions between plant viruses and their host cell transport pathways. These areas offer students many opportunities to examine the fundamental molecular mechanisms that control viral replication and the subsequent infection of the host. Students interested in virology are recruited through several graduate fields (campus-wide graduate programs) from throughout Cornell, which draw on large pools of well-qualified applicants with varying backgrounds. Students entering the program complete 3 rotations in different laboratories in their first year then choose a laboratory for their graduate training. This program supports students between Years 2 and 4 of their projects once they have chosen a laboratory and project in virology. Oversight of the student's training involves the student's mentor, the special committee with members from throughout the university, and the executive committee of the training program. A coordinated series of courses are available to the students, including two core courses in virology, and many others in relevant subjects which include various topics in immunology, biochemistry and molecular biology. Associated with the program are activities that involve faculty from throughout the university, including a weekly virology journal club, seminars in virology and related topics, and retreats in virology and infection biology and pathogenesis.

描述（由申请人提供）：此申请是为4位PHD学生继续进行分子病毒学和发病机理的培训计划。该培训计划涉及整个校园内康奈尔大学的9名病毒学家，包括兽医学院的微生物学和免疫学系，以及分子生物学和遗传学系以及植物病理学系，以及Boyce Thompson Institute的一位病毒学家。该程序的常见主题是分子病毒学以及病毒及其宿主细胞和组织之间的相互作用。这些实验室涉及各种不同的病毒系统的工作，包括疱疹病毒复制和发病机理，流感和冠状病毒细胞感染，细胞视病病毒宿主范围，芦苇症和钙病毒细胞复制机制，逆转录病毒capsid capsid capsid capsID组装，杆菌病毒复制和宿主的宿主和他们的宿主病毒和他们的相互作用。这些领域为学生提供了许多机会，可以检查控制病毒复制和随后宿主感染的基本分子机制。感兴趣的病毒学的学生通过整个康奈尔大学的几个研究生领域（校园范围的研究生课程）招募，他们吸引了大量合格的申请人，这些申请人具有不同的背景。进入该计划的学生在第一年就完成了不同实验室的3个轮换，然后选择一个实验室进行研究生培训。一旦他们选择了一个实验室和病毒学项目，该计划就会为学生的2至4年级的学生提供支持。对学生的培训的监督涉及学生的导师，特别委员会与整个大学的成员以及培训计划的执行委员会。学生可以为学生提供一系列协调的课程，包括两种病毒学的核心课程，以及许多其他学科的核心课程，其中包括免疫学，生物化学和分子生物学的各种主题。与该计划相关的活动是涉及整个大学的教职员工，包括每周病毒学期刊俱乐部，病毒学和相关主题研讨会以及病毒学和感染生物学和发病机理的务虚会。
