Cell and Molocular Biology Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学提议继续细胞和分子生物学（CMB）的培训计划。 该计划将在广泛的跨学科课程中培养优秀学生，重点是四个主要和相关的研究领域：1）核酸生物学，2）细胞结构动力学，3）信号转导，4）细胞生长和分化的调节。 导师来自医学院或文理学院的八个系。 学生将获得博士学位。在参与部门之一或三个跨部门计划（神经生物学，毒理学或遗传学）之一的学位。 学生将参加细胞生物学和分子生物学的必修课程，以及专注于评估RO1应用程序的研讨会课程，解决与该计划主题一致的问题。 学生还将参加CMB讨论组，CMB研讨会系列和年度研究务虚会。 除了专注于研究和解决问题外，我们还将提供职业指导并促进优秀沟通、指导和教学技能的发展。 我们将为学生提供旅行资金和小额研究津贴，以鼓励和促进合作研究。 总体目标是帮助学生从广泛的角度看待细胞和分子生物学问题，并鼓励他们应用创造性的，多学科的方法来解决这些问题。 北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的CMB课程的毕业生将为生物医学研究和教学的职业生涯做好准备，并将准备在后基因组时代解决复杂的生物学问题。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill proposes to continue the training program in Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB). This program will train outstanding students in a broad interdisciplinary program focused on four major and related areas of research: 1) Nucleic acid biology, 2) dynamics of cell structure, 3) Signal Transduction, and 4) Regulation of Cell Growth and Differentiation. Preceptors come from eight departments in the School of Medicine or College of Arts and Sciences. The students will receive their Ph.D. degree in one of the participating departments or in one of three interdepartmental programs (Neurobiology, Toxicology, or Genetics). Students will take required courses in cell biology and molecular biology and a seminar course focusing on the evaluation of RO1 applications addressing questions consistent with the themes of the program. Students will also participate in CMB Discussion Group, a CMB Seminar Series and an annual research retreat. In addition to our focus on research and problem solving, we will provide career guidance and foster the development of excellent communication, mentoring and teaching skills. We will provide students with travel funds and a small research allowance to encourage and promote collaborative research. The overall goal is to help students view problems in cell and molecular biology from a broad perspective and to encourage them to apply a creative, multidisciplinary approach to solving these problems. Graduates of the CMB program at UNC-Chapel Hill will be prepared for careers in biomedical research and teaching and will be ready to tackle complex biological problems in the post-genome era.
