PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Cell & Molecular Biology and Biomedical Engineering Training Program (CBTP) at West Virginia University is designed to provide advanced research training in cell biology, molecular biology and biomedical engineering to PhD students interested in pursuing careers as independent scientists. The CBTP draws upon existing high level training in the biomedical sciences PhD programs in the Health Sciences Center and in the chemical engineering PhD program in the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, which has just invested in the development of a PhD program in Biomedical Engineering. The CBTP provides considerable added value by providing an interprofessional learning platform for biomedical science and biomedical engineering PhD students for instruction in advanced topics in cell biology, molecular biology and biomedical engineering, via nanocourses, interactive journal clubs, student hosted seminars and CBTP organized regional conferences. Additional experiences provided through nanocourses and symposia will enhance the professional and career development of trainees, including in the areas of leadership, communication, networking, entrepreneurship, teamwork and management. The CBTP utilizes strong existing graduate programs, ensuring an experienced and productive group of preceptors, a highly qualified and diverse applicant pool, and a wide range of research training opportunities. The scientific breadth allows trainees to engage scientific problems with peers who have diverse perspectives and can provide novel insight into approaches to problems. The CBTP is committed to successfully recruiting underrepresented minority, disabled and disadvantaged students and plans were developed to address this issue. The successful implementation of the plans outlined for the CBTP will significantly enhance the training experiences of two cohorts of trainees, biomedical science and biomedical engineering PhD students, increasing their scientific and professional skills in preparation for their careers in the biomedical workforce.

项目概要/摘要 西弗吉尼亚州细胞与分子生物学和生物医学工程培训项目 (CBTP) 大学旨在提供细胞生物学、分子生物学和生物医学方面的高级研究培训 工程向有兴趣追求独立科学家职业的博士生提供。 CBTP 借鉴了 健康科学中心和生物医学博士项目现有的高水平培训 斯塔特勒工程与矿产资源学院的化学工程博士项目， 刚刚投资开发了生物医学工程博士课程。 CBTP 提供 通过为生物医学科学和技术提供跨专业学习平台，带来可观的附加值 生物医学工程博士生接受细胞生物学、分子生物学和 生物医学工程，通过纳米课程、互动期刊俱乐部、学生主持的研讨会和 CBTP 组织了区域会议。通过纳米课程和研讨会提供的额外经验将 加强学员的专业和职业发展，包括领导力领域， 沟通、网络、创业、团队合作和管理。 CBTP 利用强大的现有 研究生课程，确保拥有一支经验丰富、富有成效的导师队伍、一支高素质、 多样化的申请人库和广泛的研究培训机会。科学的广度允许 学员与具有不同观点并能提供新颖见解的同行一起讨论科学问题 转化为解决问题的方法。 CBTP 致力于成功招募代表性不足的少数族裔， 残疾和弱势学生并制定了解决这一问题的计划。成功者 CBTP 概述计划的实施将显着增强两个人的培训经验 一批学员、生物医学科学和生物医学工程博士生，提高了他们的科学知识 以及为生物医学工作者的职业生涯做好准备的专业技能。
