PROJECT SUMMARY A fuller understanding of living systems at the molecular level has led to revolutionary changes in the fields of chemistry and biology and has made the boundary between these traditional disciplines less defined. To leverage the exciting scientific advances at the chemistry-biology interface and to be poised to make major contributions to biology and medicine, chemists and biologists must speak a common scientific language. The Chemistry-Biology Interface Training Program (CBI-TP) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) will offer an environment in which chemists and biologists can acquire interdisciplinary training that enables them to learn a common language and to acquire a shared set of research skills without compromising their ability to acquire deep discipline-specific knowledge in specialized areas of chemistry or biology. Through shared experiences in the classroom and in the laboratory, the CBI-TP is intended to enhance the studies of graduate students enrolled in six departments at UIUC: Chemistry, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Cell and Developmental Biology, and Molecular and Integrative Physiology. Each year, 12 trainees will be supported by the NIH, in addition to 5 matching positions supported by UIUC. Highlights of the program include courses specifically developed for the CBI-TP (including a hands-on laboratory course), first year laboratory rotations, strong training in rigor and reproducibility, an opportunity for internships, a highly diverse student body, and extremely strong institutional support. The program also offers unique opportunities for professional and career development including (i) a student-run seminar program during which trainees invite, host, and discuss their research with outside seminar speakers, (ii) creation of Individual Development Plans (IDPs) for which trainees are required to research at least three career options, join a professional organization, and attend at least one career-related workshop, (iii) options to earn relevant certifications such as the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Management, and/or take part in internships, and (iv) participation in multiple career development activities, intended to better prepare graduate students at the chemistry-biology interface for interesting and challenging career paths and opportunities. No matter their ultimate career goals, the CBI-TP platform at UIUC, running for 14 years now, has no equivalent elsewhere on our campus. The goal of the CBI-TP is to arm trainees with the breadth of education necessary to bridge the gap between the chemical and biological sciences. The trainees have been, and will continue to be, among those scientists making significant contributions to biomedicine as participants in and leaders of multidisciplinary teams in industry, government, or academia.

项目总结 在分子水平上对生命系统的更全面的理解导致了在生物化学领域的革命性变化 化学和生物学，并使这些传统学科之间的界限变得不那么明确。至 利用化学-生物界面上令人兴奋的科学进步，并准备使主要 对于生物学和医学的贡献，化学家和生物学家必须说一种共同的科学语言。这个 伊利诺伊大学香槟分校(UIUC)化学-生物接口培训项目(CBI-TP) 将提供一个环境，使化学家和生物学家能够获得跨学科的培训，从而使 让他们学习一门共同的语言并获得一套共同的研究技能，而不会影响他们的 具备在化学或生物专业领域获得深厚学科专业知识的能力。穿过 在课堂和实验室中分享经验，CBI-TP旨在加强对 研究生就读于UIUC的化学、化学和生物分子工程六个系， 生物化学、微生物学、细胞与发育生物学、分子与综合生理学。每个人 今年，除了UIUC支持的5个匹配职位外，12名受训人员将得到NIH的支持。 该计划的亮点包括专门为CBI-TP开发的课程(包括动手 实验室课程)，第一年实验室轮换，严谨和重复性方面的强大培训，有机会 实习机会，高度多样化的学生群体，以及极其强大的机构支持。该计划还提供 提供独特的职业和职业发展机会，包括(I)由学生举办的研讨会方案 在此期间，学员邀请、主持并与外部研讨会演讲者讨论他们的研究，(Ii)创建 要求受训人员至少研究三种职业选择的个人发展计划， 加入专业组织，并参加至少一个与职业相关的研讨会；(Iii)选择获得相关收入 证书，如创业和管理证书，和/或参加实习，以及 (4)参加多种职业发展活动，目的是使研究生更好地为 化学-生物接口，提供有趣和具有挑战性的职业道路和机会。无论他们的 最终的职业目标，UIUC的CBI-TP平台已经运行了14年，在其他地方没有类似的平台 我们的校园。CBI-TP的目标是为学员提供必要的教育广度，以弥合 化学科学和生物科学之间的差距。受训人员一直是，并将继续是 那些作为生物医学的参与者和领导者对生物医学做出重大贡献的科学家 行业、政府或学术界的多学科团队。
