The Molecular Basis of Viral Pathogenesis Training
Program brings together 18 accomplished investigators at
The Scripps Research Institute as Mentors to provide advance
training in virology, immunology, chemical biology, and molecular
genetics. Fellows are immersed in a scientifically rich,
challenging, collaborative, and multidisciplinary training
program focused on supporting and developing creative, independent,
and productive scientists who will contribute substantially
to the understanding of viral pathogenesis and related disciplines.
The training program is highly dynamic with the Mentors participating
in the program doing research focusing on structural, immunologic,
cell biological, molecular biological and chemical approaches
to investigate viral pathogenesis over a broad range of model
systems. To meet this goal, candidates are selected from
an ethnically, geographically, and scientifically diverse
applicant population to ensure that the most promising Fellows
will be supported. All Fellows receive training in cutting
edge technologies pertinent to their research projects, the
ethics of scientific research, communication skills, fellowship
and grant preparation, and the use of animals in research
and human subjects. Additionally, the training program is
enhanced through a series of workshops and seminars offered
by the Career and Postdoctoral Services Offices. The Molecular
Basis of Viral Pathogenesis Training Program has been in
existence since 1989 and Fellows from the program have become
leaders in viral pathogenesis and related fields.
The Training Grant currently supports five Postdoctoral Fellows.
Both M.D. and Ph.D. candidates are encouraged to apply. Training
is supported for a maximum of two years with the goal to
obtain alternative support for additional training.
Stipends provided
are based
upon the level of postdoctoral experience.
Only US Citizens or Permanent Residents are eligible for appointment.
