Studies I should leave US institute to conduct (8)
I believe the answer is:
transmit
'to conduct' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'studies i should leave us institute' is the wordplay.
'studies' becomes 'trains' (training is a kind of studying).
'should leave' is a deletion indicator.
'us institute' becomes 'MIT' (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
'trains' with 'i' taken away is 'trans'.
'trans'+'mit'='TRANSMIT'
(Other definitions for transmit that I've seen before include "put out" , "Disseminate" , "Send (a radio message)" , "Pass on (a disease)" , "Send from one person to another, or broadcast" .)
