The Methods and Logic in Molecular Biology training program (MLMB) at Princeton University educates carefully selected individuals for the research, teaching, and advocacy needs of the nation. The MLMB brings together the multi-disciplinary life science community at Princeton with 54 training faculty. Our program is highly collaborative and trains students to acquire the skills to become leaders in any field they choose. The MLMB training faculty represent 7 academic departments and 3 research institutes, including 33 from Molecular Biology, 4 from Chemistry, 5 from Chemical & Biological Engineering, 2 from Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, 3 from Computer Science, 2 from Physics, 2 from Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, 1 from the Lewis Sigler Genomics Institute, and 2 from the Neuroscience Institute. The faculty provides expertise in diverse biological model systems, offering training in genetics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, biochemistry, biophysics, cancer, cell biology, development, microbiology, immunology, and neuroscience. All faculty are themselves rigorously mentored, undergoing annual mandatory mentoring training, and assessed by the MLMB Committee. The MLMB is administratively supported by the Department of Molecular Biology (MOL) and selects its students from the pool of MOL graduate students. The MLMB is the only training grant that supports MOL students. The MOL graduate program receives over 400 applications per year, attracting some of the best students in the country. Research is performed in well-equipped laboratories with support from state-of-the-art core facilities. The training program consists of inter-disciplinary, skill-building oriented course work, laboratory rotations, a general exam, thesis research, thesis committee meetings, Individual Developmental Plans, and an array of MLMB specialized courses and activities that provide students with science communication, leadership, and managements skills, in conjunction with diverse career development opportunities. Trainees gain teaching experience and receive intensive training in scientific rigor/reproducibility and responsible conduct of research. Our Mentorship Program further helps all students with issues such as work/life balance and career development. We have a successful Diversity and Inclusion Program to help recruit and retain students from groups that are under-represented in the life sciences. Our gender and racial demographics have matched those of the nation for over a decade. Routine internal and external assessment of the MLMB Training Program evaluates both faculty and students and enables us to identify needs for new courses, policies, and activities that keep the program fresh. Our success is best judged by the productivity and success of our graduates. Students who graduated in the past 10 years had an average of 4.1 publications per trainee and 95% are still engaged in science-related careers. Our MLMB program thus nucleates the vibrant multi-disciplinary research community at Princeton and delivers scientists broadly trained with the interdisciplinary skills they need to solve tomorrow’s challenges. Support for 12 trainees for their 2nd and 3rd years (24 slots) is requested.

普林斯顿大学教育的分子生物学培训计划（MLMB）的方法和逻辑仔细 选定的个人来进行研究，教学和倡导需求。 MLMB聚集在一起 普林斯顿的多学科生命科学界拥有54位培训教师。我们的计划很高 协作和培训学生，以获得他们选择的任何领域的领导者的技能。 MLMB 培训教师代表7个学术部门和3个研究机构，其中包括分子生物学的33个， 4来自化学和化学与生物工程的第4个，2来自生态与进化生物学，3 计算机科学，2来自物理学，2，机械和航空工程，1，刘易斯·西格勒（Lewis Sigler） 基因组学研究所和神经科学研究所的2。该教师提供了潜水员生物学的专业知识 模型系统，提供遗传学，基因组学，蛋白质组学，代谢组学，生物化学，生物物理学的培训 癌症，细胞生物学，发育，微生物学，免疫学和神经科学。所有教师都是自己 严格的修改，接受年度强制性培训，并由MLMB委员会评估。 MLMB由分子生物学系（MOL）在行政上支持，并选择其学生 来自摩尔研究生的池。 MLMB是唯一支持MOL学生的培训补助金。这 MOL研究生课程每年收到400多个申请，吸引了一些最好的学生 国家。在最先进的核心设施的支持下，在设备齐全的实验室中进行了研究。 培训计划包括跨学科的，面向技能的课程工作，实验室轮换， 一般考试，论文研究，论文委员会会议，个人发展计划和一系列 MLMB专业课程和活动，为学生提供科学沟通，领导和 管理技能，结合潜水员职业发展机会。学员获得教学 经验并接受有关科学严格/可重复性和负责任的研究的深入培训。 我们的指导计划进一步帮助所有问题，例如工作/生活平衡和职业等问题 发展。我们有一个成功的多样性和包容计划，可以帮助招募和留住学生 在生命科学中代表性不足的群体。我们的性别和种族人口统计与那些人口相匹配 十多年来的国家。 MLMB培训计划的常规内部和外部评估 评估教师和学生，使我们能够确定对新课程，政策和活动的需求 这使程序保持新鲜。我们的成功最好由毕业生的生产力和成功来判断。 在过去10年中毕业的学生平均每位受训者4.1个出版物，而95％的学生仍在 从事与科学有关的职业。因此，我们的MLMB计划核能充满活力的多学科研究 普林斯顿的社区，并为科学家提供了他们解决的跨学科技能的广泛培训 明天的挑战。要求支持12名学员的第二年和第三年（24个插槽）。
