Training Grant in Dynamic Aspects of Chemical Biology

 描述（由申请人提供）：堪萨斯大学（KU）化学生物学动态方面的博士培训计划旨在教育整个化学生物学界面的博士毕业生。化学科学专业的学生将发展生物信息和技能的工作知识。匡威亦然：生物科学专业的学生毕业时将掌握化学。该培训计划利用了当地50多年来科学家在化学，生物学和制药科学领域密切有效合作的传统。来自化学，药物化学，分子生物科学和药物化学系的参与教师通过用小分子探测生物系统的共同主题联系在一起。在这个培训计划的核心是建议建立一个综合的学术课程和研讨会系列，将服务于更广泛的化学生物学社区在KU。为了实现这一目标，我们的竞争性更新申请提出：（1）修订后的课程，包括学员所需的两门新的化学生物学课程，并提供给KU更广泛的社区;（2）向附属部门的所有研究生提供新的化学生物学研究生证书;（3）一个充满活力的研讨会系列， 跨所有四个部门，并在化学生物学的不同职业提供指导;（4）合作轮换，为参与培训的学员提供背景，以获得培训目标的关键概念和方法的工作知识;（5）继续培训，以负责任地进行研究。学员将获得合作接触到现代实验技术和理论的好处，在整个化学生物学接口学科，并将充分准备，以满足当代化学生物学的挑战。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The doctoral training program in the Dynamic Aspects of Chemical Biology at the University of Kansas (KU) aims to educate doctoral graduates across the chemistry biology interface. Students in the chemical sciences will develop a working knowledge biological information and skills. The converse will also be true: students in the biological sciences will graduate with a command of chemistry. This training program takes advantage of a local tradition of over 50 years of close and effective collaboration among scientists at the interface of chemistry, biology, and the pharmaceutical sciences. Participating faculty from the Departments of Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Molecular Biosciences and Pharmaceutical Chemistry are connected by a common theme of probing biological systems with small molecules. At the heart of this training program is the proposed establishment of an integrated academic curriculum and seminar series that will serve the broader Chemical Biology community at KU. In order to meet this goal, our competitive renewal application proposes (1) a revised curriculum including two new courses in chemical biology required by trainees and available to the broader community at KU; (2) a new Graduate Certificate in Chemical Biology available to all graduate students in the affiliated departments; (3) a vibrant seminar series that spans all four departments and provides instruction on different careers in chemical biology; (4) a collaborative rotation that provides participating trainees with the background for attaining a working knowledge of the key concepts and methods of the training goal; and (5) continued training in the responsible conduct of research. Trainees will reap the benefits of collaborative exposure to modern experimental techniques and theories in disciplines across the chemical biology interface and will be fully prepared to meet the challenges of contemporary chemical biology.
