Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Sciences Training Grant

描述(由申请人提供)：建议研究的目标是提供遗传学、基因组学、发育、细胞生物学、分子生物学和/或生物化学领域的博士前培训。40名培训教员将参加这一计划。培训教师的广泛兴趣和专业知识使学生可以从分子进化、分子生物学、分子遗传学、发育遗传学、发育进化、细胞生物学、微生物学、病毒学、结构生物学和生物化学等研究项目中进行选择。在过去的几年里，已经聘请了一些教员，他们在这些领域增加了广度和深度。我们培训计划的这种跨学科性质代表了该计划的主要优势之一。 核心课程旨在为一年级学生在遗传学、细胞、发育和分子生物学以及生物化学方面奠定坚实的基础。高级课程和其他要求是为学生在其专业领域获得优势，发展强大的沟通能力，并获得正确的研究行为的意识而设计的。学生从第一年开始就参加研究培训，并鼓励学生应用从我们所有研究优势领域获得的技术和方法。 培训助学金资助的大部分学生将来自分子生物学和遗传学(MBG)项目，该项目授予遗传学、分子、细胞和发育生物学、微生物学或植物科学的博士学位。如果其他系或项目的学生的论文导师是培训资助学院的成员，并且学生满足与本项目的培训任务相关的学术和论文要求，则其他系或项目的学生也可以获得培训资助。 我们在培养富有成效的博士前学生方面有着悠久的传统，并在生物医学相关研究方面建立了成功的职业生涯。培训人员将继续致力于这一使命。我们要求继续为目前的16个培训补助金职位提供经费，以便我们能够继续这一传统。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed research is to offer predoctoral training in the area of genetics, genomics, development, cellular biology, molecular biology, and/or biochemistry. Forty training faculty will participate in this program. The wide range of interests and expertise of the training faculty allows students to select among research programs that include molecular evolution, molecular biology, molecular genetics, developmental genetics, evolution of development, cell biology, microbiology, virology, structural biology, and biochemistry. A number of faculty have been hired in the past few years and add both breadth and depth in these areas. This interdisciplinary nature of our training program represents one of the major strengths of the program. The core curriculum is designed to give first year students a strong foundation in genetics, cell, developmental, and molecular biology, and biochemistry. Advance courses and other requirements are designed for the students to gain strength in their area of specialty, develop strong communication skills, and gain awareness of proper research conduct. Students are engaged in research training from the first year and are encourage to apply techniques and approaches derived from all of our areas of research strength. The majority of students supported by the training grant will be drawn from the Molecular Biology and Genetics (MBG) Program which awards Ph.D. degrees in Genetics, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Microbiology, or Plant Sciences. It is also possible for students in other Departments or Programs to be supported by the training grant if their thesis mentor is a member of the Training Grant Faculty and the student fulfills the academic and thesis requirements that are related to the training mission of this program. We have had a long-standing tradition in the training of predoctoral students who have been productive, and established successful careers in biomedical related research. The training faculty remains dedicated to this mission. We are requesting continued funding of the current 16 training grant positions so that we can continue in this tradition.
