# Predoctoral Training Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology (INCLUDE Down Syndrome Supplement)

> **NIH NIH T32** · UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO DENVER · 2022 · $204,066

## Abstract

ABSTRACT. The goal of the T32-Funded Molecular Biology (MOLB) Program at the University of Colorado
Anschutz Medical Campus is to train outstanding research scientists and academicians who will become future
leaders in their chosen fields and disciplines. As part of this this goal, we teamed up with Linda Crnic Institute
for Down Syndrome to train new high-quality scientist dedicated in pursuing biomedical research to enhance
our understanding about the causes and potential treatments of Down Syndrome. Our training program is
flexible and student-oriented to meet individual needs, with a rigorous curriculum and high standards. Ph.D. in
Molecular Biology is designed as a 5-6 year program with rigorous and challenging course work and research
thesis. To further develop their skills, all trainees supported by INCLUDE Supplement will attend monthly Crnic
Supergroup research meetings, will present and discuss results of their own project at one such meeting, and
will attend the annual Crnic Symposium. As the result, trainees will be exposed to multi-disciplinary
approaches to studying DS which will complement their training by their thesis Mentors. Trainees supported by
this supplement will also participate in all the activities that are designed for other MOLB T32 awardees,
namely organizing annual MOLB Symposium and Retreat as well as running monthly “Roundtables” discussion
forum. Finally, all three trainees supported by this supplement will present their work during MOLB Annual
Retreat during special “Down Syndrome” session. Given the depth, quality, and diversity of our student pool
and our demonstrated ability to train high quality students, we request 5 students be supported for one year as
part of INCLUDE Supplement.
