DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This predoctoral training program is dedicated to the training of outstanding scientists in the pharmacological sciences. The program consists of formal coursework, seminar courses focusing on scientific communication skills, short-term research training rotations in 3 laboratories, and original doctoral research. Basic courses in cell biology or neurobiology, molecular biology, biostatistics and advanced pharmacology are required. Elective specialized courses are also required. Departmental seminars and seminar courses acquaint the student with current research in pharmacological sciences and teach them how to present a research seminar with confidence. After finishing their research rotations and qualifying examinations, the students identify a research mentor, propose a research topic, choose an advisory committee, and engage in advanced research. The anticipated duration of training is 5 years. A great diversity of research areas is available to trainees. The research focus of the 37 core faculty, 22 participating faculty, 84 postdoctoral scientists and 42 graduate students can be grouped into 4 major areas: Cell Surface Receptors, G Proteins, Protein Kinases and Signal Transduction Mechanisms; Neuropharmacology; Nucleic Acids, Cancer & Antimicrobial Pharmacology; and Experimental Therapeutics. Cell and molecular approaches are particularly strong, but systems-level research such as behavioral pharmacology and analysis of knock-in and knock-out mice is also available. Excellent physical facilities are available for all research areas. The student who completes this predoctoral training program has acquired basic knowledge of pharmacology and related fields, in-depth knowledge in the dissertation research area, the ability to evaluate scientific literature, mastery of a variety of laboratory procedures, skill in planning and executing an important research project in the pharmacological sciences, and the ability to communicate results, analysis, and interpretation. This provides a sound basis for scientific careers in academia, government or industry.

描述（由申请人提供）：该博士前培训计划致力于培养药理学领域的杰出科学家。该计划包括正式的课程，侧重于科学沟通技能的研讨会课程，3个实验室的短期研究培训轮换，以及原创的博士研究。 细胞生物学或神经生物学，分子生物学，生物统计学和高级药理学的基础课程是必需的。还需要选修专业课程。部门研讨会和研讨会课程使学生熟悉药理学科学的当前研究，并教他们如何自信地介绍研究研讨会。在完成他们的研究轮换和资格考试后，学生确定一个研究导师，提出一个研究课题，选择一个咨询委员会，并从事先进的研究。预计培训时间为5年。 一个很大的研究领域的多样性是提供给学员。37名核心教师，22名参与教师，84名博士后科学家和42名研究生的研究重点可分为4个主要领域：细胞表面受体，G蛋白，蛋白激酶和信号转导机制;神经药理学;核酸，癌症和抗菌药理学;和实验治疗学。 细胞和分子方法特别强大，但系统水平的研究，如行为药理学和基因敲入和基因敲除小鼠的分析也是可用的。优秀的物理设施可用于所有研究领域。 谁完成这个博士前培训计划的学生已经获得了药理学和相关领域的基础知识，在论文研究领域的深入知识，评估科学文献的能力，掌握各种实验室程序，规划和执行的技能在药理学科学的重要研究项目，以及交流结果，分析和解释的能力。 这为学术界、政府或工业界的科学事业提供了坚实的基础。
