遗传学和分子生物学(GMB)是一门历史悠久、排名很高的课程 北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校(UNC-CH)的跨系博士项目。超过50美元 多年来，该项目为学员提供了尖端的研究机会。除了我们正在进行的 在遗传学(例如，模式微生物、植物和动物遗传学)和分子方面的关键领域的专业知识 生物学(例如，信号转导、基因表达和病毒学)，我们在表观遗传学方面增加了优势， 临床和翻译遗传学、系统遗传学、数量遗传学、计算遗传学和 基因组学。不同领域的研究人员之间的广泛互动是由部门间的 和校际性质的计划，以及许多教职中心，并由物理促进 同一校园内不同单元的接近程度。 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，从而 博士学位，同时也为他们提供培训和获得技能，以便他们进入各种研究和职业生涯 与研究相关的领域。我们根据自己的研究和最佳实践，不断更新我们的计划 在整个领域确保它的现代化和创新性。几年前，我们增加了“模块化”的5周 允许学生更紧密地根据自己的需要定制课程作业的课程。我们提供大量的职业 信息和培训活动，以及在工业、学术界和非营利部门的实习。 我们在全国范围内争夺尖子生，并成功地从各种不同的学校招收学生 背景，约20%属于美国国立卫生研究院定义的多样性群体之一。我们的学生是 成功地获得了有竞争力的外部资助，每个学生至少发表了一篇第一作者 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在从事科学工作 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 基金会。一些人留在学术/政府研究领域，但另一些人进入工业、理科教学或 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.
