Molecular Biophysics Training Program

摘要 威尔康奈尔大学研究生院的分子生物物理学培训计划(MBTP)建立在 在由WCGS-Weill组成的两个机构进行生物物理研究和培训的数十年历史 康奈尔医学中心(WCM)和斯隆-凯特琳纪念癌症中心(MSKCC)位于街对面 彼此之间的距离。MBTP将汇集来自两个WCGS双院校毕业生的生物物理学实习生 计划：生物化学和结构生物学(BSB)计划，是生物化学、细胞和 分子生物学(BCMB)计划和生理学、生物物理学和系统生物学(PBSB)计划。 这两个项目的生物物理学实习生的结合是一种自然的契合，因为生物物理学本身就是 多学科-将生物、化学、物理、计算生物学和数学结合在一起。 MBTP将为分子生物物理学博士前学员提供：1)杰出的学习和指导；2) 世界一流的研究机会；3)多样化和互动的学生和教师社区，以培养 科学交流与合作；4)严谨、可重复的科学研究基础 研究和5)了解并接触各种职业道路，以成功过渡到 生物医学研究队伍。MBTP计划的形成是近30年来最新的一次 WCM和MSKCC之间的协同关系成熟。

Abstract The Molecular Biophysics Training Program (MBTP) at the Weill Cornell Graduate School (WCGS) is built on a decades-long history of biophysics research and training at the two institutions comprising WCGS - Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) located across the street from each other. MBTP will bring together biophysics trainees from two WCGS graduate bi-institutional programs: the Biochemistry & Structural Biology (BSB) program, part of the umbrella Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology (BCMB) program and the Physiology, Biophysics and Systems Biology (PBSB) program. Union of the biophysics trainees in these two programs is a natural fit given that biophysics is inherently multidisciplinary – bringing together biology, chemistry, physics, computational biology, and mathematics. MBTP will provide: 1) outstanding learning and mentoring for predoctoral trainees in molecular biophysics; 2) world-class research opportunities; 3) a diverse and interactive community of students and faculty to foster scientific exchange and collaboration; 4) strong foundation in performing rigorous and reproducible scientific research and 5) knowledge of and exposure to various career paths for successful transition into the biomedical research workforce. The formation of the MBTP program is the latest in a nearly three-decade maturation of synergistic connections between WCM and MSKCC.
