Training in Mechanistic, Interdisciplinary Studies of Biological Systems

项目摘要/摘要 医学院(生物化学和生物物理学系、细胞生物学系和 生理学)和文理学院(生物系)申请5 多年来支持联合培养两年的机械博士后研究生， 生物系统的跨学科研究(MiBio)。MiBio建立在 高度协作、成就卓著的教职员工，采用多学科 接近了。MiBio培训计划为学生提供了各种体验 丰富他们科学训练的广度和严谨性。学生们将接受深入的 科学写作和批评方面的培训，参加一个将作为论坛的静修 分享研究进展和激发合作，并计划举办主题研讨会 培养学员的领导技能，并提供与 国家最顶尖的科学家。我们已经为学员开发了新的平台，以便更好地导航 北卡罗来纳大学部门研讨会系列中提供的压倒性广度和 为了最大限度地提高尖端技术的信息传输效率，同时 为学生赋权。 北卡罗来纳大学吸引了一批对生物化学感兴趣的优秀见习候选人， 细胞和分子生物学。MiBio的长期目标是帮助这些学员 充分发挥他们作为各自领域创新和成熟领导者的潜力。

Project Summary/Abstract The School of Medicine (Departments of Biochemistry & Biophysics, Cell Biology & Physiology,) and the College of Arts and Sciences (Department of Biology) request 5 years of support to jointly train predoctoral students for 2 years in mechanistic, interdisciplinary studies of biological systems (MiBio). MiBio is built on the foundation of a highly collaborative and accomplished faculty that employs multi-disciplinary approaches. The MiBio training plan provides students with a variety of experiences to enrich the breadth and rigor of their scientific training. Students will receive in-depth training in scientific writing and criticism, participate in a retreat that will act as a forum for sharing research progress and sparking collaboration, and plan a themed symposium to develop trainees' leadership skills and provide the opportunity to interact with the nation's top scientists. We have developed novel platforms for trainees to better navigate the otherwise-overwhelming breadth available in UNC departmental seminar series and to maximize the efficiency of information transfer on cutting edge techniques, while empowering students. UNC attracts an outstanding cadre of trainee candidates interested in biochemistry, cellular, and molecular biology. The long-term goal of MiBio is to help these trainees realize their full potential as innovative and sophisticated leaders in their fields.
