Training Pgm in Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology

描述（由申请人提供）：生物化学、细胞和分子生物学培训项目为博士生提供细胞结构和功能广泛领域的多学科培训。培训学院组成了生物化学、细胞和发育生物学（BCDB）跨部门研究生项目，这是埃默里大学生物和生物医学科学研究生部（GDBBS）的八个跨学科培训项目之一。培训教师在不同部门担任主要学术职务，包括麻醉学、生物化学、生物学、细胞生物学、化学、皮肤病学、人类遗传学、医学、微生物学和免疫学、病理学、药理学、生理学、放射肿瘤学、泌尿学和温希普癌症研究所。他们的研究项目涵盖核酸、蛋白质和膜的结构/功能分析等主题；核运输和分类；线粒体/氧化功能；信号转导；细胞运动；发展和差异化；以及发病机制和人类疾病。伴随着这一系列的生物学问题，学员能够利用多样化和最先进的技术手段。受此培训补助金支持的学员是从 BCDB 计划的大量学生中挑选出来的。所有学员都学习核心课程，强调生物化学、分子生物学、生物物理学、细胞生物学、遗传学和发育生物学的基础。还需要额外的科学写作、研讨会演讲和伦理课程。高级选修课涵盖所有生物医学学科，为学生的研究生涯提供深入和个性化的准备。 BCMB 主办的年度研讨会、年度静修会、每周期刊俱乐部和研讨会丰富了培训环境。该培训计划的成功毕业生在经过适当的博士后培训后将非常适合从事独立的研究职业。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Training Program in Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology provides the predoctoral candidate with multidisciplinary training in the broad area of cell structure and function. The Training Faculty constitute the interdepartmental Graduate Program in Biochemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology (BCDB), one of eight interdisciplinary training programs in the Graduate Division of biological and Biomedical Sciences (GDBBS) at Emory. The training faculty members hold their primary academic appointments in diverse departments including, Anesthesiology, Biochemistry, Biology, Cell Biology, Chemistry, Dermatology, Human Genetics, Medicine, Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Physiology, Radiation Oncology, Urology, and the Winship Cancer Institute. Their research programs cover topics such as structure/function analysis of nucleic acids, proteins, and membranes; nuclear transport and sorting; mitochondrial/oxidative function; signal transduction; cell motility; development and differentiation; and pathogenesis and human disease. Concomitant with this range of biological problems, the trainee is able to take advantage of a diverse and state-of-the-art technical repertoire. Trainees supported by this Training Grant are selected from the larger pool of students matriculating in the BCDB Program. All trainees take a core curriculum that emphasizes the foundations of biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, cell biology, genetics and developmental biology. Additional courses in scientific writing, seminar presentation, and ethics are also required. Advanced electives are available in the full range of biomedical disciplines to give the student in depth and individualized preparation for their research careers. The training environment is enriched by the BCMB sponsored annual symposium, annual retreats, weekly journal clubs and seminars. The successful graduate of this training program will be well suited, after appropriate postdoctoral training, to pursue an independent research career.
