Educational Mission
Fellowships
The CGS engages not only in research, but also provides hands-on research
training for students at all levels. The CGS accepts individuals at any stage
of their academic or medical training, and fellowships may be awarded for any
period of time between 3 months and 2 years. For information on undergraduate
internships, contact Dr. Fen Hu. For
information on graduate or post-graduate fellowships, contact Dr. Garth Ehrlich. For information on
medical student internships or externships, contact Dr. J. Christopher Post.
Continuing Medical
Education
The CGS sponsors several continuing education programs including monthly
seminars, journal clubs, and symposia.
Symposia and
Workshops
Periodically a timely functional genomics topic will be chosen around which a
two to three day international workshop or symposium is organized. The
directors have previously organized and hosted three such meetings, one on
craniofacial disorders; one on hereditary pancreatitis; and one on New
Paradigms in Chronic Bacterial Infectious Diseases. Each of these workshops
followed seminal discoveries by CGS scientists: in the cases of genetic
diseases the mapping and cloning of the causative genes associated with these
inherited disorders; and in the case of chronic infections following
establishment of the biofilm paradigm. Currently, a symposia on "The
Distributed Genome Hypothesis" and "intelligent implants" are
under development. Please check back in the near future for updates
concerning these meetings.
The Genomic Sciences Institute (GSI)
In the Fall of 2001, we launched a new educational program, the GSI, whose
mission is to provide scientific content training for area high school
biology teachers and high school biology students. The GSI hosts both one-day
workshops and week long hands-on experience. In the future, GSI will develop
and distribute human genomic CME material for healthcare professional but
upon specialty.
