This proposal represents a renewal proposal for the Biomolecular Science and Engineering Training Program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University at Albany. The objectives of the Training Program are aimed at increased interaction among students from the four departmental disciplines of Biological Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with didactic, research, technology transfer & commercialization, and industrial components. This Training Program will provide the trainee with a keen understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of research, how it depends on fundamental underpinnings of both science and engineering, how it leads to innovative new scientific disciplines and technologies, and how commercial products are developed. Faculty from the aforementioned programs as well as the Department of Computer Science from the University at Albany (a total of 25 faculty mentors) are actively involved in research programs spanning Synthetic Biology & Biomanufacturing, Regenerative Engineering & Biotherapeutics, and Computational Biology & Bioinformatics. Biocatalysis, Bioseparations, Biomaterials, Biomolecular- Structure-Function-&-Analysis, Data Science and Entrepreneurship, and Molecular Biology & Bioinformatics therefore become common training areas to build a strong program in biomolecular science and engineering. Key aspects of the training program include: [1] a set of four courses that maximize didactic training among the key disciplines; [2] a core course entitled “Perspectives in Biomolecular Science and Engineering” that is taken by all trainees; [3] a seminar series and research symposia that build on current campus-wide programs at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and its clinical and industry partners; [4] a student-run seminar program, where trainees and other students in the area of biomolecular science and engineering present their research to their peers and training faculty; [5] training in responsible conduct of research; [6] joint supervision and multidisciplinary thesis committee membership for Ph.D. thesis work in biomolecular science and engineering; [7] an industrial internship; [8] poster presentation and participation in the annual meeting of the CBIS Industry Partners Program; [9] entrepreneurship and commercial translation training and [10] an annual retreat in biomolecular science and engineering at which trainees and others on campus interact with outside researchers in the field. An Executive Committee ensures that the trainees satisfy these requirements and an Underrepresented Minority Recruitment (URM) Committee actively engaged in, identifies and recruits URMs into the program. In addition to the six trainee slots per year proposed herein, Rensselaer will support three Institute trainees per year.

这项建议是对生物分子科学与工程培训计划的更新建议 在伦斯勒理工学院和奥尔巴尼大学。培训计划的目标是 旨在加强生物科学四个系学生之间的互动， 生物医学工程、化学和生物工程以及化学和化学生物学 伦斯勒理工学院的教学、研究、技术转让和商业化，以及 工业部件。本培训计划将为学员提供对以下方面的深刻理解 研究的跨学科性质，它如何依赖于科学和 工程学，它如何导致创新的新科学学科和技术，以及如何商业化 产品是开发出来的。上述课程的教员以及计算机系 来自奥尔巴尼大学的理科教师(共有25名教师导师)积极参与研究项目 横跨合成生物学和生物制造、再生工程和生物治疗，以及 计算生物学与生物信息学。生物催化、生物分离、生物材料、生物分子- 结构-功能-分析，数据科学与创业，分子生物学与生物信息学 因此成为建设生物分子科学与工程专业共性实训领域的强项。 培训计划的主要方面包括：[1]一套四门课程，最大限度地在 重点学科；[2]选修一门名为《生物分子科学与工程展望》的核心课程 由所有学员参加；[3]在当前校园计划的基础上举办一系列研讨会和研究座谈会，网址为 伦斯勒理工学院及其临床和行业合作伙伴；[4]学生开办的研讨会项目， 生物分子科学和工程领域的实习生和其他学生展示他们的研究 对他们的同行和培训人员；[5]负责任的研究行为的培训；[6]联合监督和 生物分子科学和工程博士论文工作的多学科论文委员会成员； [7]工业实习；[8]海报展示和参加CBIS行业年会 合作伙伴计划；[9]创业和商务翻译培训以及[10]年务虚会 生物分子科学和工程，学员和其他人在校园内与外界互动 该领域的研究人员。执行委员会确保受训人员满足这些要求，并 人数不足少数族裔招聘委员会积极参与、物色和招聘少数族裔招聘人员 加入到项目中。除了这里建议的每年六个实习生名额外，伦斯勒还将支持三个 学院每年的实习生人数。
