PROJECT SUMMARY The mission of the UCLA Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB) Training Program, currently in its 46th year, is to provide essential training for the next generation of PhDs in the developing fields of genomics, proteomics, systems biology, quantitative and structural biology, stem cell biology, and bioinformatics so that they are poised for successful careers in the biosciences. In addition, the CMB provides students with operational and professional skills training in an inclusive, collaborative, and supportive environment. The CMB Training Program brings together students and faculty from the life sciences and physical sciences who share a common interest in cellular and molecular biology but whose interactions might otherwise be limited. The 37 faculty that will participate in the CMB Training Program are drawn from nine departments that span the UCLA School of Medicine and the UCLA College. These training faculty are passionate about using cutting-edge multidisciplinary approaches to tackle complex biological questions at the cellular and molecular level. The proximity of research buildings and university-supported state-of-the-art shared resources, along with the collaborative spirit that defines biomedical research at UCLA, facilitate cross-discipline interactions and foster interdisciplinary research studies. This environment provides trainees a unique opportunity to obtain broad foundational training in modern cell and molecular biology. CMB trainees are drawn from four PhD graduate programs: the Molecular Biology Interdepartmental Program; Neuroscience; Biochemistry, Molecular & Structural Biology; and Chemistry. Each year, the CMB Training Program will recruit 12 new students to a two-year program, which will be inclusive of students from underrepresented groups in the sciences. As part of the CMB training plan, CMB trainees must take four foundational courses that were designed specifically for training in modern cellular and molecular biology research. The objectives of these courses are to train students to develop technical, operational, and professional skills that will prepare them for biomedical careers including: a broad understanding of the cell and molecular biology field and the pressing questions and modern approaches used to address them; rigorous experimental design skills; statistical skills for data analysis; analytical and critical thinking skills; oral and written communication skills; resilience skills; and an understanding of how to conduct safe and ethical research studies. Through a CMB career development course, trainees are also exposed to broad biomedical careers and acquire knowledge on how to prepare and apply for these professions. The CMB Training Program also provides mentoring and structured cohort-building and training activities, like the CMB Luncheon Seminar Series and the CMB retreat, that engage, support, and retain students in science and promote collaborative studies among trainees. Together, the CMB Training Program’s student-centered interdisciplinary research training, active learning curriculum, career-development activities, mentoring, and community-building activities contribute to the successful training of diverse students for a broad array of biomedical careers.

项目摘要 加州大学洛杉矶分校细胞和分子生物学（CMB）培训计划的使命，目前在其第46个年头，是 为基因组学，蛋白质组学， 系统生物学、定量和结构生物学、干细胞生物学和生物信息学， 在生物科学领域取得成功此外，CMB还为学生提供操作和 在包容、协作和支持的环境中进行专业技能培训。CMB培训计划 汇集了来自生命科学和物理科学的学生和教师，他们有着共同的兴趣 但其相互作用可能会受到限制。37名教师将 参加CMB培训计划的学生来自加州大学洛杉矶分校的九个系， 医学和加州大学洛杉矶分校。这些培训教师热衷于使用尖端的多学科 在细胞和分子水平上解决复杂生物学问题的方法。近距离研究 建筑和大学支持的最先进的共享资源，沿着协作精神， 在加州大学洛杉矶分校定义生物医学研究，促进跨学科的互动和促进跨学科的研究 问题研究这种环境为学员提供了一个独特的机会，以获得广泛的基础培训，在现代 细胞和分子生物学CMB学员来自四个博士研究生课程：分子生物学 跨部门计划;神经科学;生物化学，分子和结构生物学;和化学。每个 2009年，CMB培训计划将招收12名新生参加为期两年的课程，其中包括 来自科学领域代表性不足群体的学生。作为CMB培训计划的一部分，CMB学员必须 参加四门专门为现代细胞和分子生物学培训而设计的基础课程， 生物学研究这些课程的目标是培养学生发展技术，业务， 专业技能，这将为他们的生物医学事业做好准备，包括：细胞的广泛理解， 分子生物学领域和紧迫的问题和用于解决这些问题的现代方法;严格 实验设计技能;数据分析的统计技能;分析和批判性思维技能;口头和书面 沟通技巧;应变能力;以及了解如何进行安全和道德的研究。 通过CMB职业发展课程，学员还接触到广泛的生物医学职业，并获得 如何准备和申请这些专业的知识。CMB培训计划还提供 指导和有组织的团队建设和培训活动，如CMB午餐研讨会系列和 CMB务虚会，参与，支持和留住学生在科学和促进合作研究之间 实习生一起，CMB培训计划的以学生为中心的跨学科研究培训，积极 学习课程、职业发展活动、指导和社区建设活动有助于 成功培训不同的学生，以从事广泛的生物医学职业。
