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.

本申请寻求在1996年7月至2001年6月的5年期间继续支持 美国国立卫生研究院的博士前培训计划，旨在提供一个跨- 在生物技术方面的学科教育经验。斯坦福大学 该方案自1991年7月以来一直存在，并通过1996年6月获得资助。它 该课程利用了来自大学10个单位和3所学校的教师团队。 这些单位包括在工程学院：化学和民用 工程;人文科学学院：化学和 生物科学;在医学院：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。参与培训计划的26名教师 共同目标是提供一个多学科框架， 博士前学生的理论， 生物技术的实验和计算组成部分。 被选入这个项目的实习生是那些研究生中的一员 已经被每个单位录取的学生， 程序.除了会见博士之外要求其 初级单位，每个受训者都必须参加一个生物技术 研讨会系列，生物医学伦理研讨会，期刊俱乐部， 一个年度工业生物技术研讨会，并完成一个四 四分之一的研究生水平的课程要求，包括生物化学， 遗传学和生物技术。这些活动旨在提供一个 为学员提供一个共同的基础，并为他们提供一个互动的论坛 在小组中，他们的研究活动超出了他们的重点。的 学员必须有两个或两个以上的参与教师 作为他们论文阅读委员会的成员。该等委员会 在受训者任期的早期形成，并确保 教员向受训者传播信息和专门知识 来自不同的基础科学和工程领域， 生物技术. 旧金山弗朗西斯科湾区的当地生物技术产业提供了 知识和物质资源，从而提供了一个 学生有机会接触到周围的人才， 大学在某些情况下，受训人员可能会得到工业界的共同建议。 导师，并将执行他们的一些研究场外设施 由工业参与者提供。此外，实习， 通常为期三个月，提供给那些 在大学之间有足够的共同利益的情况下， 研究工作和工业对应，以保证这样一个 安排每年举行一次工业生物技术研讨会， 春天介绍和暴露受训者的科学和 在当地生物技术工业部门进行的工程。 该计划的主要目标是让学员成为熟练 在各种物理、化学、生物和计算研究中， 技术，并提供一个学习环境，跨越 几个学科的边界是主要贡献者， 生物技术企业。通过这样做，我们的学员做好了准备 在工业和大学水平的生物技术职业。
