See instructions): This program will prepare scientists for research careers in the computational analysis and mathematical modeling of medically significant biological systems through interdisciplinary training at the predoctoral level. Noted for its well-established system of interdisciplinary graduate programs and for its tradition of collaborations across departmental boundaries, the University of Arizona provides a highly suitable environment for such training. Seventeen training faculty and two associate faculty with appointments in multiple departments and interdisciplinary graduate programs provide strength in three broad areas: molecular dynamics; cellular processes; physiology and pathophysiology. Students will be drawn primarily from the interdisciplinary Program in Applied Mathematics and the cross-disciplinary Biochemistry and Molecular & Cellular Biology Program. Qualified students from other graduate programs will also be eligible. In most cases, students will receive support starting in their second year of graduate training. Trainees will pursue the coursework requirements of their own graduate programs and will, in addition, take graduate courses in bioinformatics, biostatistics and mathematical modeling tailored to their diverse scientific backgrounds. Trainees will take part in a weekly biomathematics colloquium that has been running continuously for more than a decade and promotes dialog between trainees and faculty with primarily mathematical or computational backgrounds and those with strong biological training. Trainees will carry out doctoral research with advisors whose research, whether theoretical or experimental, emphasizes application of theoretical approaches to biomedical problems. Where appropriate, a co-advisor will be appointed to provide complementary expertise to that of the primary advisor. Trainees participating in this program will not only receive research training in relevant areas, but will also develop the ability to communicate and collaborate across traditional disciplinary boundaries and to work with researchers with complementary expertise. Researchers with such skills are critically needed in many areas of biomedical science in which sophisticated theoretical approaches are necessary in order to achieve further progress. RELEVANCE (See instructions): In many areas of biomedical science, sophisticated theoretical approaches are necessary in order to achieve further progress. This program will prepare scientists for research careers in the computational analysis and mathematical modeling of medically significant biological systems through interdisciplinary training at the predoctoral level.

参见说明）： 该计划将为科学家在计算分析和数学领域的研究生涯做好准备。 通过博士前水平的跨学科培训，对具有医学意义的生物系统进行建模。 以其完善的跨学科研究生课程体系和传统而闻名 跨部门的合作，亚利桑那大学提供了一个非常合适的 这样的训练环境。十七名培训学院和两名副学院， 多个部门和跨学科的研究生课程在三个广泛的领域提供优势： 分子动力学;细胞过程;生理学和病理生理学。学生们将主要 从应用数学和跨学科生物化学的跨学科计划， 分子和细胞生物学计划。来自其他研究生课程的合格学生也将有资格。 在大多数情况下，学生将在研究生培训的第二年开始获得支持。学员将 追求自己的研究生课程的课程要求，并将，此外，采取研究生 生物信息学、生物统计学和数学建模课程， 背景学员将参加每周一次的生物数学讨论会， 持续了十多年，并促进学员和教师之间的对话，主要是 数学或计算背景和那些有很强的生物训练。学员将进行 博士研究与顾问的研究，无论是理论还是实验，强调 将理论方法应用于生物医学问题。在适当的情况下，将有一名共同顾问 被任命为主要顾问提供补充专业知识。参加此次培训的学员 该计划不仅将接受相关领域的研究培训，而且还将培养以下能力： 跨传统学科界限进行交流和合作，并与研究人员合作， 补充专业知识。生物医学的许多领域都迫切需要具有这种技能的研究人员。 为了取得进一步的进展，需要复杂的理论方法的科学。 相关性（参见说明）： 在生物医学科学的许多领域，复杂的理论方法是必要的，以实现 进一步的进展。该计划将为科学家在计算分析和 数学建模的医学重要的生物系统，通过跨学科的培训，在 博士前水平。
