Chemistry Biology Interface Training Program

项目摘要 加州大学洛杉矶分校CBI培训计划的总体目标是培养一群多样化的科学家，他们将 在未来几十年里，从道德上领导化学和生物学之间的严谨研究和培训 来。具体地说，建议对那些在生物学方面是业余爱好者的杰出化学家进行培训，使他们能够识别 并严格解决生物学中最重要的问题，并与生物学家高度合作。 同样，有人建议将使用化学技术作为黑匣子的生物学家转换为 能够识别新的化学方法来解决他们的生物问题的专家，并且他们感到舒服 与化学家合作。加州大学洛杉矶分校的CBI项目通过打破 各部门和学员沉浸在最先进的跨学科研究中，这些研究跨越了 化学和生物。具体目标如下：第一，CBI将培养研究生 化学和生物学交界处的研究语言和技术。具体地说，化学家们将学到 能够批判性地评价论文，熟悉技术，能够严谨地讨论研究 生物学中的主题，反之亦然。其次，CBI将教授学生了解 化学生物学界面的基础知识和前沿研究使他们能够提炼出这一点 信息，以便独立地将其应用于自己的研究和开发新的想法。第三，CBI将 使学生能够磨练他们的口语技能，并能有效地在团队中工作，特别是与生物课的人一起工作 对于化学家来说，反之亦然。第四，对学生进行道德和负责任的行为指导 研究，以便他们在自己的研究中遵循伦理原则，并将这些标准应用于其他人。 第五，将对CBI受训人员进行严谨和可重复性基础方面的教育，以便将其应用于 他们自己的研究，并能够在其他人的工作中识别和解释这些因素。第六和 第七，CBI将使学生在职业上充分发展潜力，为他们提供所有 做出明智和成功的职业轨迹决策并提供额外指导所需的工具 并监督每个实习生，使他们能够在研究生的平均时间内毕业 在加州大学洛杉矶分校。第八，CBI将提供一个包容、支持和多样化的环境，基本平等 以化学和生物为导向的学生人数，男女人数相等，30% 来自代表人数不足的群体的人，以及具有强烈残疾身份的个人 加州大学洛杉矶分校CBI作为实习生和校友。为了达到这些目标，一个严格的课程、培训和 辅导，同时招聘和留住所有群体的人员以及体能和学习能力 并建议建立一个强大的加州大学洛杉矶分校CBI身份。一支由世界级教师学者组成的优秀团队 聚集在一起的人也专注于培训和指导，并认真对待。加州大学洛杉矶分校提供广泛的支持 还有一大批各式各样的优秀学生可供选择，以成功实现这些目标。

Project Summary The overall objective of the UCLA CBI Training Program is to educate a diverse group of scientists who will ethically lead rigorous research and training at the interface between chemistry and biology in the decades to come. Specifically, it is proposed that brilliant chemists who are amateurs in biology will be trained to identify and rigorously solve the most important problems in biology and be highly collaborative with biologists. Likewise, it is proposed that the biologist using a chemical technique as a black box will be converted into an expert who can identify new chemical approaches to solve their biological problems, and who are comfortable collaborating with chemists. The UCLA CBI Program provides this by breaking down the isolation between departments, and immersing trainees in state-of-the-art interdisciplinary research that spans the interface of chemistry and biology. The following specific aims are proposed: First, CBI will train graduate students in the language and techniques of research at the interface of chemistry and biology. Specifically, chemists will learn to be able to critically evaluate papers, be familiar with techniques and be able to rigorously discuss research topics in biology, and vice versa. Second, CBI will teach students the background to understand both the fundamentals and cutting edge research at the chemistry biology interface to enable them to distill this information in order to independently apply it to their own research and to develop new ideas. Third, CBI will enable students to hone their speaking skills and to work effectively in teams, especially with people in biology for chemists and vice versa. Fourth, the students will be instructed about ethical and responsible conduct of research so that they follow the ethical principals in their own research and hold these standards to others. Fifth, CBI trainees will be educated on the fundamentals of rigor and reproducibility in order to apply this to their own research and enable identification and interpretation of these factors in the work of others. Sixth and seventh, CBI will empower students to develop to their full potential professionally, providing them with all the tools necessary to make informed and successful career trajectory decisions and deliver additional mentoring and oversight on each trainee to enable them to graduate within the average time period for graduate students at UCLA. Eighth, CBI will provide an inclusive, supportive and diverse environment with approximately equal numbers of chemically and biologically oriented students, equal numbers of males and females, and 30% persons from underrepresented groups, as well as individuals with disabilities that have a strong identity as the UCLA CBI both as trainees and as alumni. To reach these aims a rigorous program of classes, training, and mentoring, coupled with recruitment and retention of persons from all groups and physical and learning abilities and a building of a strong UCLA CBI identity are proposed. An excellent team of world class faculty scholars is assembled who are also focused and serious about training and mentoring. UCLA provides extensive support and a large and diverse pool of excellent students to draw from to successfully reach these goals.
