Project Summary/Abstract The UC Berkeley/UCSF joint Training Program in Metabolic Biology (TPMB) offers unique opportunities for trainees to gain a strong foundation in rigorous, reproducible science, and to acquire the professional skills and knowledge to support future leaders in the field of human metabolic health and disease research. Built around an inter-departmental, trans-institutional training program, it brings together world-leading researchers and mentors from UCB's Department of Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology (NST) and UCSF's Diabetes Center (DC) to offer an unparalleled training experience for predoctoral fellows. TPMB seeks to attract a diverse group of highly qualified students from various academic backgrounds including biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, nutrition, and physiology. Our curriculum is build around development of scholarship and skills in research, teaching and professional service with the goals of establishing early research independence and laying a foundation for research integrity and responsibility. In addition to taking TPMB specific courses that emphasize human health and disease topics in metabolic regulation, research design and reproducibility, data analysis and interpretation, as well as ethical conduct, students will be able to rotate through laboratories both on the UCB and UCSF Parnassus campuses in their first year. TPMB students will experience a nurturing, diverse, and exciting environment that has build a well-established and integrated community of program leadership, researchers and preceptors across the two campuses and is well aware of the opportunities and potential challenges this approach offers. In order to make informed choices for their rotations incoming students will be exposed to the variety of metabolism centered research in the program through introductory lectures given by all TPMB faculty and participate in the programs joint annual retreat offering talks, posters, and social interactions with faculty, students, and postdocs. A central strength of TPMB is the quality of our faculty and the breath of human health and metabolism focused research topics ranging from central regulation of feeding behavior to adipocyte biology and ß-cells and state-of-the-art technical approaches from single-cell-sequencing, to metabolomics, genetics, stem cell biology, and bioengineering and the ability to pursue research in both clinical and preclinical settings. This wide range of expertise and approaches foster collaborative science and prepare TPMB students to successfully transition into independent careers in academia, industry, and government to tackle problems central to the mission of NIDDK and to improve human health and wellbeing.

项目摘要/摘要 UC Berkeley/UCSF代谢生物学联合培训计划（TPMB）为 学员为严格，可重复的科学获得牢固的基础，并获得专业技能 知识以支持人类代谢健康和疾病研究领域的未来领导者。建造 围绕部门间跨机构培训计划，它汇集了世界领先的研究人员 以及UCB营养科学与毒理学（NST）和UCSF的糖尿病的导师 中心（DC）为摄影前研究员提供无与伦比的培训经验。 TPMB试图吸引 来自各种学术背景的高素质学生组成的多元化群体，包括生物化学，细胞和 分子生物学，营养和生理学。我们的课程围绕科学发展和 研究，教学和专业服务的技能，其目标是建立早期研究 独立并为研究完整性和责任奠定基础。除了服用TPMB 在代谢法规中强调人类健康和疾病主题的特定课程，研究设计 以及可重复性，数据分析和解释以及道德行为，学生将能够旋转 第一年通过UCB和UCSF Parnassus校园的实验室。 TPMB学生会 体验一个养育，潜水和激动人心的环境，建立了一个建立了良好和整合的环境 计划领导力的社区，两个校园的研究人员和受体社区，并且很清楚 这种方法提供的机会和潜在挑战。为了做出明智的选择 旋转进入学生将暴露于该计划中以新陈代谢为中心的多种多样 通过介绍所有TPMB教师的讲座，并参加该计划联合年度务虚会 与教师，学生和博士后提供会谈，海报以及社交互动。 TPMB的中心强度 是我们教师的质量，是人类健康和代谢的呼吸，以研究主题为主题 从喂养行为的中央调节到脂肪细胞生物学和ß细胞和最先进的技术 从单细胞测序到代谢组学，遗传学，干细胞生物学和生物工程的方法 以及在临床和临床前环境中进行研究的能力。广泛的专业知识和 接近培养协作科学并准备TPMB学生成功过渡到 学术界，工业和政府的独立职业，以解决有关该任务中心的问题 NIDDK并改善人类健康和福祉。
