Training in Genetic, Molecular and Cellular Biology

描述（由申请人提供）： 南加州大学遗传、分子和细胞生物学培训计划将为学生从事跨学科生物医学研究和相关职业做好准备。在整个博士培训和研究过程中，学员将与从事整个生物医学和生物学研究的学生和教师进行互动。他们可以从至少9个不同的博士中选择一个研究导师。南加州大学的项目涵盖了整个生物医学和生物研究领域。在他们的课程和培训计划活动中，他们将与来自许多不同项目的教师和学生互动，从而形成联系，这将促进跨学科的互动和研究方法。在培训计划的学生将采取至少一个计算方法的正式课程，以促进他们的兴趣和能力，应用复杂的计算技能，他们的研究，无论是作为主要或支持技术。这最后一次机会将利用我们大学的特殊优势领域，为学生做好准备，以应对生物医学和生物研究中越来越重要的复杂数据集的定量处理。除了其在生物医学和生物科学的其他领域的广泛优势，南加州大学的教师群体谁在复杂基因组的研究和分子癌症流行病学领域的计算方法的应用世界排名前列。学员还将参加各种关于教学和其他职业机会的讲习班。参加培训计划的大多数学生将在研究生院的前三年得到该计划的支持，并将继续参加计划活动，直到完成博士学位。℃下

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Southern California Training Program in Genetic, Molecular and Cellular Biology will prepare students for careers in interdisciplinary biomedical research and related occupations. Throughout their doctoral training and research, trainees will interact with students and faculty engaged in research from the entire spectrum of biomedical and biological research. They may select a research mentor from at least 9 different Ph.D. programs at USC spanning the entire universe of biomedical and biological research. In their courses and Training Program activities they will interact with faculty and students from many different programs and thereby form connections which will foster interdisciplinary interactions and approaches to research. Students in the Training Program will take at least one formal course in computational methods to promote their interest in and ability to apply sophisticated computational skills to their research, either as primary or supporting technology. This last opportunity will take advantage of areas of special strength at our University to prepare students for the new emphasis on quantitative treatments of complex data sets which is becoming increasingly important in biomedical and biological research. In addition to its broad strengths in other areas of the biomedical and biological sciences, the University of Southern California has faculty groups who rank among the best in the world in the application of computational methods to the study of complex genomes and in the field of molecular cancer epidemiology. Trainees will also participate in a variety of workshops on teaching and other career opportunities. Most students participating in the Training Program will be supported by the Program during their first three years in graduate school and will continue to participate in program activities until the completion of their Ph.D. degree.
