 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Tri-Institutional PhD Program in Chemical Biology (TPCB) The Tri-Institutional PhD Program in Chemical Biology (TPCB) is an innovative graduate program that provides students with comprehensive training at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine. TPCB is unique in that it is offered jointly by three premier research institutions with adjoining campuses in the heart of New York City: Weill Cornell Medical College, The Rockefeller University, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. This stand-alone, direct admission graduate program was established in 2001 as one of the first in the nation to focus specifically on training the next generation of chemical biology researchers. Over the last 14 years, TPCB has established itself as a leading graduate program in chemical biology, with 51 PhD graduates and 32 current students. The program includes students from both chemical and biological undergraduate backgrounds and combines quantitative chemical training with deep insights into forefront problems in biomedical research. The curriculum includes two chemical biology courses created specifically for TPCB students, additional core and elective courses, laboratory rotations, a Tri-Institutional Chemical Biology Seminar Series and journal club, a student Research-in-Progress seminar series, and an annual student-organized Tri-Institutional Chemical Biology Symposium. Students also receive extensive career development training and support as well as formal instruction in the Responsible Conduct of Research. TPCB students have exciting opportunities to conduct PhD thesis research with 46 outstanding faculty working across the spectrum of chemical biology and supported with over $45M in annual research funding. Students move seamlessly between the three institutions and have access to the state-of-the-art research facilities and rich scientific environment on all thre campuses, providing diverse opportunities to pursue both fundamental and translational research projects and to engage in multidisciplinary collaborations. Importantly, TPCB students are deeply involved in the organization and design of the training experience, and the program has evolved continually in response to student feedback. As a result, TPCB students have been exceptionally productive, publishing nearly 300 scientific papers at an average of 5.1 per PhD graduate. Our alumni have continued onto successful careers in academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology startups, and government labs. Our students come from a wide range of scientific and cultural backgrounds and this diversity is highly valued. The program welcomes students from underrepresented minority groups, those with disabilities, and those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds and works with each student individually to ensure that they have all of the resources necessary to thrive. TPCB receives strong institutional support but is still unable to admit all of the qualified candidates who apply. Thus, this NIH NIGMS Chemistry-Biology Interface T32 training grant will enable further growth and enhancement of the student training experience in this highly successful program.

 描述(由申请人提供)：三所院校化学生物学博士课程(TPCB)三所院校化学生物学博士课程(TPCB)是一项创新的研究生课程，为学生提供化学、生物和医学方面的综合培训。TPCB的独特之处在于，它由三家一流的研究机构联合提供，并在纽约市中心毗邻校区：威尔·康奈尔医学院、洛克菲勒大学和纪念斯隆·凯特琳癌症中心。这个独立的、直接招生的研究生项目成立于2001年，是美国首批专门专注于培养下一代化学生物学研究人员的项目之一。在过去的14年里，TPCB已经确立了自己作为领先的化学生物学研究生项目的地位，拥有51名博士毕业生和32名在校生。该计划包括来自化学和生物本科背景的学生，并将定量化学培训与对生物医学研究的前沿问题的深刻见解相结合。课程包括两门专为TPCB学生开设的化学生物学课程、额外的核心和选修课程、实验室轮换、三所院校化学生物学系列研讨会和期刊俱乐部、学生研究进行中研讨会系列，以及每年由学生组织的三所院校化学生物学研讨会。学生还接受广泛的职业发展培训和支持，以及负责任的研究行为的正式指导。TPCB的学生有令人兴奋的机会进行博士论文研究，有46名杰出的教师在化学生物学领域工作，并获得超过4500万美元的年度研究资金支持。学生可以在三所院校之间无缝地往返，并有机会接触到三个校区最先进的研究设施和丰富的科学环境，为从事基础研究和翻译研究项目以及参与多学科合作提供了不同的机会。重要的是，TPCB的学生深入参与了培训体验的组织和设计，并且该计划不断地根据学生的反馈而发展。因此，TPCB的学生非常高效，发表了近300篇科学论文，平均每位博士毕业生发表了5.1篇论文。我们的校友在学术机构、制药公司、生物技术初创公司和政府实验室继续成功的职业生涯。我们的学生来自广泛的科学和文化背景，这种多样性受到高度重视。该计划欢迎来自代表性不足的少数群体、残疾人和弱势社会经济背景的学生，并与每一名学生单独合作，确保他们拥有茁壮成长所需的所有资源。TPCB得到了强有力的机构支持，但仍无法录取所有符合条件的申请者。因此， NIH NIGMS化学-生物接口T32培训助学金将使这一非常成功的计划进一步增长和增强学生的培训经验。
