Methods and Logic in Molecular Biology Training Program

普林斯顿大学的分子生物学培训项目（MLMB）的方法和逻辑教育很仔细 为国家的研究，教学和宣传需要选择个人。MLMB汇集了 普林斯顿大学的多学科生命科学社区，有54名培训教师。我们的计划是高度 协作和培训学生获得技能，成为他们选择的任何领域的领导者。MLMB 培训教师代表7个学术部门和3个研究机构，其中33人来自分子生物学， 4从化学，5从化学与生物工程，2从生态与进化生物学，3从 计算机科学，2名来自物理学，2名来自机械与航空航天工程，1名来自刘易斯西格勒 基因组学研究所和2个来自神经科学研究所。该学院提供各种生物学方面的专业知识， 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， 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 严格指导，接受年度强制性辅导培训，并由MLMB委员会评估。 MLMB由分子生物学系（MOL）提供行政支持，并选择学生 从MOL的研究生中脱颖而出。MLMB是支持MOL学生的唯一培训补助金。的 MOL研究生课程每年收到400多份申请，吸引了世界上一些最好的学生。 国家研究在设备齐全的实验室进行，并得到最先进的核心设施的支持。 培训计划包括跨学科，技能建设为导向的课程工作，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，以及一系列 MLMB专业课程和活动，为学生提供科学交流，领导力， 管理技能，以及多样化的职业发展机会。学员获得教学 在科学严谨性/可重复性和负责任的研究行为方面经历并接受强化培训。 我们的导师计划进一步帮助所有学生解决工作/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性计划，以帮助招募和留住学生从 在生命科学领域代表性不足的群体。我们的性别和种族人口统计数据与那些 十多年来一直是全国最大的MLMB培训计划的常规内部和外部评估 评估教师和学生，使我们能够确定新课程，政策和活动的需求 这可以保持程序的新鲜感。我们的成功是最好的判断我们的毕业生的生产力和成功。 在过去10年中毕业的学生平均每人发表4.1篇论文，95%的学生仍然在 从事与科学相关的职业。因此，我们的MLMB计划是充满活力的多学科研究的核心 社区在普林斯顿大学，并提供科学家广泛培训，他们需要解决跨学科的技能 明天的挑战要求为12名第二年和第三年的受训人员（24个名额）提供支助。

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.
