This application seeks continuing support for the 5 year period 7/96-6/01 of a NIH predoctoral training program directed at providing a cross- disciplinary educational experience in biotechnology. The Stanford program has been in existence since 7/91 and is funded through 6/96. It draws on a faculty group from 10 units and 3 Schools at the University. These units include within the School of Engineering: Chemical and Civil Engineering; within the School of Humanities and Sciences: Chemistry and Biological Sciences; and within the School of Medicine: Cell Biology, Genetics, Neurobiology, Molecular Pharmacology, Developmental Biology, and Biochemistry. The 26 faculty involved in the training program have the common goal of providing a multidisciplinary framework for exposing predoctoral students to a broad cross-section of the theoretical, experimental and computational components of biotechnology. Trainees selected for this program are among those graduate students already admitted by each of the units following their usual admissions procedures. In addition to meeting the Ph.D. requirements for their primary unit, each trainee is required to participate in a biotechnology seminar series, in seminars on biomedical ethics, in a journal club, in an annual industrial biotechnology symposium and to complete a four quarter graduate-level course requirement encompassing biochemistry, genetics, and biotechnology. These activities are designed to provide a common basis for the trainees and to give then a forum for interacting in groups that extend beyond their focused research activities. The trainees are required to have two or more of the participating faculty as members of their dissertation reading committees. These committees are formed early in the tenure of the trainee and operate to insure the dissemination of information and expertise to the trainee by preceptors from different basic science and engineering areas relate to biotechnology. Local biotechnology industries in the San Francisco Bay Area provide intellectual and physical resources to the trainees and thereby offer an opportunity for the students to access the talent that surrounds the University. In some instances, trainees may be co-advised by industrial mentors and will perform some of their research offsite at facilities made available by the industrial participants. In addition, internships, typically three months in duration, are offered to trainees in those cases where there is sufficient mutual interest between the university research efforts and the industrial counterpart to warrant such an arrangement. An annual Industrial Biotechnology Symposium is held each Spring to introduce and expose the trainees to the science and engineering being conducted in the local biotechnology industrial sector. The primary goal of the program is to have the trainees become proficient in a variety of physical, chemical, biological and computational research techniques and to provide a learning environment that cuts across the boundaries of several disciplines that are major contributors to the biotechnology enterprise. In so doing, our trainees become prepared for careers in biotechnology at both the industrial and university levels.

此申请寻求 5 年期间的持续支持 7/96-6/01 NIH 博士前培训计划旨在提供跨 生物技术学科教育经验。斯坦福大学 该计划自 7/91 以来一直存在，并一直到 6/96 为止提供资金。它 由来自大学 10 个单位和 3 个学院的教师团队组成。 这些单位包括工程学院内的：化学和土木 工程;人文科学学院内：化学和 生物科学；以及医学院内：细胞生物学， 遗传学、神经生物学、分子药理学、发育生物学、 和生物化学。参加本次培训的26名教师 共同目标是提供一个多学科框架来揭露 博士前学生广泛的理论交叉领域， 生物技术的实验和计算部分。 被选入该项目的学员均属于研究生 继往常招生后已被各单位录取 程序。除了满足博士学位之外。对他们的要求 初级单位，每个学员都需要参加生物技术 研讨会系列、生物医学伦理研讨会、期刊俱乐部、 年度工业生物技术研讨会并完成四个 季度研究生水平课程要求包括生物化学， 遗传学和生物技术。这些活动旨在提供 为学员提供共同的基础，并提供一个互动的论坛 超出其重点研究活动范围的小组。这 学员须有两名或以上参与教师 作为他们的论文阅读委员会的成员。这些委员会是 在受训者任职初期就成立并运作以确保 导师向学员传播信息和专业知识 来自不同的基础科学和工程领域涉及 生物技术。 旧金山湾区的当地生物技术产业提供 为学员提供智力和体力资源，从而提供 为学生提供接触周围人才的机会 大学。在某些情况下，受训者可能会得到工业界的共同建议 导师并将在设施外进行一些研究 由工业参与者提供。另外，实习， 通常为期三个月，为这些领域的学员提供 大学之间有足够共同利益的情况 研究工作和工业同行以保证这样的 安排。每年举办一次工业生物技术研讨会 春天向学员介绍和接触科学和 当地生物技术工业部门正在进行工程。 该计划的主要目标是让学员变得熟练 从事各种物理、化学、生物和计算研究 技术并提供跨领域的学习环境 几个学科的边界是主要贡献者 生物科技企业。这样做，我们的学员就做好了准备 工业和大学层面的生物技术职业。
