DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the Training Program in Molecular, Cellular and Chemical Biology (MCCB) is to foster the development of outstanding young scientists in interdisciplinary research encompassing the fields of biology and chemistry. The MCCB training program is currently in its second year, having evolved from the long standing Training Program in Biochemistry. With a history spanning some 45 years and producing hundreds of world class researchers and scientists, the Training Program in Biochemistry had been regarded as among the most effective in the country, producing researchers at the forefront of the biochemical sciences. Many of its past trainees have made outstanding contributions to science both as graduate students and subsequently, in positions of leadership as independent investigators in academe and industry. While the Biochemistry Program has included participants from both the Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) and Chemistry and Chemical Biology (CCB) Departments, it did not attempt to formalize connections between these two sets of trainees. As the disciplines of chemistry and biology have become increasingly interwoven in the last decade, an urgent need developed to move toward a truly interdisciplinary training experience. In response to the broader and progressive direction in research in the fields of biology and chemistry, the MCB and CCB departments joined together in 2001 to create the Training Program in Molecular, Cellular and Chemical Biology. This is not merely a revised program, but a comprehensive and robust reorganization of the research, curricular, administrative and training elements of its predecessor. Trainees in MCCB have course requirements in both MCB and CCB, are jointly overseen by an Advisory Committee comprised of faculty from both departments, and have numerous program-sponsored opportunities for interaction with their peers and the participating MCCB faculty. For instance, for the first time in its more than one hundred thirty year history, the Chemistry (CCB) department has offered its trainees the opportunity to participate in research rotations. The overwhelmingly positive response of the trainees to these rotations resulted in the unprecedented move to require research rotations of all CCB students. While the new MCCB program has been in operation for a relatively brief period of time, we believe this new incarnation will continue a long history of excellence in training a new generation of biochemists.

描述（由申请人提供）：在分子，细胞和化学生物学（MCCB）的培训计划的使命是促进杰出的年轻科学家在跨学科研究的发展，包括生物学和化学领域。 MCCB培训计划目前已进入第二年，由长期的生物化学培训计划演变而来。 生物化学培训方案具有45年的历史，培养了数百名世界级的研究人员和科学家，被认为是该国最有效的培训方案之一，培养了处于生物化学科学前沿的研究人员。 它的许多过去的学员都作出了杰出的贡献，科学无论是作为研究生，随后，在领导地位，作为独立的调查人员在工业和工业。 虽然生物化学计划包括来自分子和细胞生物学（MCB）和化学和化学生物学（CCB）部门的参与者，但它并没有试图正式确定这两组学员之间的联系。 随着化学和生物学的学科在过去十年中变得越来越相互交织，迫切需要向真正的跨学科培训经验发展。 为了应对生物学和化学领域研究的更广泛和进步的方向，MCB和CCB部门于2001年共同创建了分子，细胞和化学生物学培训计划。 这不仅仅是一个修订后的计划，而是对其前身的研究，课程，行政和培训要素进行了全面而有力的重组。 MCCB的受训人员都有MCB和CCB的课程要求，由两个部门的教师组成的咨询委员会共同监督，并有许多计划赞助的机会与同行和参与MCCB的教师互动。 例如，在其130多年的历史上，化学（CCB）系首次为其学员提供了参加研究轮换的机会。 学员对这些轮换的压倒性积极反应导致了前所未有的要求所有CCB学生进行研究轮换的举措。 虽然新的MCCB计划已经运行了一段相对较短的时间，但我们相信这个新的化身将继续在培养新一代生物化学家方面的卓越历史。
