DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Michigan proposes to continue pre-doctoral training in Molecular Biophysics, in each year supporting 10 Ph.D. students who will be part of a selected cohort of approximately 25 students in the Molecular Biophysics Program. The curriculum is a demanding one, intended to train scientists who will conduct research at the interface of biology, chemistry, and physics, and to attract well-prepared undergraduates with bachelor's degrees in chemistry, physics, and physical biochemistry. Molecular Biophysics is a distinctive program with particular requirements for the didactic and research phases of training. The Program has its root in the existing Ph.D. program in Biophysics, by has developed a broad interdisciplinary curriculum that offers Ph.D. degrees in four disciplines: Biophysics, Biological Chemistry, Chemistry, and Physics. The training faculty comprises physical biochemists, chemists, physicists, and others whose research focuses on the structure, functions, and interactions of bio-macromolecules. The faculty are drawn from the departments of Biological Chemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Pharmacy, Physics, Electrical Engineering, and Pharmacology. A basic commitment of this faculty is to problem-oriented research that relies on applications of quantitative physical techniques. It is intended that students exploit sophisticated instrumentation, including state-of-the-art facilities for NMR spectroscopy, x-ray absorption and diffraction, ultra-fast spectroscopy, single-molecule spectroscopy, and modern computation.

描述（由申请人提供）：密歇根大学建议继续在分子生物物理学博士前培训，每年支持10个博士学位。学生谁将在分子生物物理学计划的约25名学生选定的队列的一部分。该课程是一个要求很高的，旨在培养科学家谁将在生物学，化学和物理学的接口进行研究，并吸引准备充分的本科生在化学，物理和物理生物化学学士学位。分子生物物理学是一个独特的计划，对培训的教学和研究阶段有特殊要求。该计划的根源在于现有的博士学位。在生物物理学计划，通过开发了广泛的跨学科课程，提供博士学位。四个学科的学位：生物物理学，生物化学，化学和物理学。 培训教师包括物理生物化学家，化学家，物理学家和其他研究重点是生物大分子的结构，功能和相互作用的人。教师来自生物化学，生物学，化学，微生物学，药学，物理学，电气工程和药理学等部门。该学院的一个基本承诺是以问题为导向的研究，依赖于定量物理技术的应用。它的目的是让学生利用复杂的仪器，包括国家的最先进的设施NMR光谱，X射线吸收和衍射，超快光谱，单分子光谱和现代计算。
