NRSA in Genetics

在遗传学和分子生物学（GMB）课程是一个完善的和高排名 在查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学（UNC-CH）的跨部门博士课程。超过50 多年来，该计划为学员提供了尖端研究机会。除了我们正在进行的 遗传学关键领域的专业知识（例如，模型微生物、植物和动物的遗传学）和分子生物学 生物学（例如，信号转导，基因表达和病毒学），我们增加了表观遗传学的优势， 临床和转化遗传学，系统遗传学，定量遗传学，计算遗传学，和 基因组学跨部门研究促进了不同领域研究人员之间的广泛互动， 和校际性质的计划，以及许多教师中心，并促进了物理 在一个校园里的不同单位的接近度。 我们的使命是培养来自不同背景的学生进行负责任的研究，导致 博士学位，同时还提供培训和获取技能，让他们进入各种职业的研究和 研究相关领域。我们根据自己的研究和最佳实践不断更新我们的计划 在整个领域，以确保它是现代和创新的。几年前，我们增加了“模块化”5周 这些课程允许学生根据自己的需要量身定制课程作业。我们提供多种职业 信息和培训活动，以及在工业界、学术界和非营利部门的实习。 我们在全国范围内竞争顶尖学生，并成功地从各种各样的学校招收学生。 背景，其中约20%属于NIH定义的多样性群体之一。我们的学生是 成功获得有竞争力的外部资金，每个学生至少发表一篇第一作者的论文。 发表在同行评议期刊上的研究论文我们的绝大多数学生在毕业后仍然从事科学事业。 他们毕业了。大多数人最初在学术界、政府实验室或私人研究机构从事博士后研究 层.有些人留在学术/政府研究，但其他人进入工业，科学教学，或 科学政策。

The Curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology (GMB) is a well-established and highly-ranked interdepartmental PhD program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). For more than 50 years this program has provided cutting-edge research opportunities to trainees. In addition to our ongoing expertise in key areas in genetics (e.g., genetics of model microbes, plants, and animals) and molecular biology (e.g., signal transduction, gene expression, and virology), we have added strengths in epigenetics, clinical and translational genetics, systems genetics, quantitative genetics, computational genetics, and genomics. Extensive interaction between researchers in diverse areas is promoted by the interdepartmental and inter-school nature of the program, as well as many faculty centers, and is facilitated by the physical proximity of the different units on a single campus. Our mission is to train students from diverse backgrounds to conduct responsible research leading to a PhD, while also providing training and acquisition of skills for them to enter a variety of careers in research and research-related fields. We continuously update our program, based on our own studies and best practices throughout the field to ensure that it is modern and innovative. Several years ago we added “modular” 5-week courses that allow students to tailor their coursework more closely to their needs. We offer numerous career information and training events, as well as internships in industry, academia, and non-profit sectors. We compete nationally for the top students and have successfully recruit students from a variety of backgrounds, with about 20% belonging to one of the NIH-defined diversity groups. Our students are successful in obtaining competitive external funding, and every student publishes at least one first-authored research paper in a peer-reviewed journal. The vast majority of our students remain in scientific careers after they graduate. Most initially do postdoctoral research in academia, government labs, or private research foundations. Some remain in academic/government research, but others go into industry, science teaching, or science policy.
