Chemical Biology Interfaces at UC San Diego

 描述（由申请人提供）：在化学-生物学接口（CBI）在加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UC圣地亚哥）的博士前培训计划将利用我们在跨学科研究的历史优势，并加入整个校园的教师强大的培训环境。加州大学圣地亚哥分校历来擅长化学和生物学的接口，从大学的新的支持，确保了在未来强大而充满活力的计划。在这个程序中的许多培训教师是新的大学（在过去10年内），并在此建议中建立的校际债券代表最近已经建立了充满活力的合作。该提案旨在每年培训10名学生，从研究生院院长那里获得25%的名额，从研究生学习的第二年开始，并提供两年的支持。该提案为四个研究生课程之一的学生建立了特殊课程：化学和生物化学（自然科学部），工程（生物工程或纳米工程），生物医学科学（包括MSTP学生）和斯克里普斯海洋学研究所（海洋生物科学计划）。这些学生将在化学和生物化学系，制药和制药科学，生物和纳米工程，斯克里普斯海洋研究所和癌症中心的斯卡格斯学院的教师实验室工作。这些部门/中心各自的院长/主任都提供了重要的机构支持，包括学费/杂费和津贴的封顶，提供额外的 以奖学金的形式提供培训名额，并协助与该计划相关的行政和组织费用。我们已经放在一起的课程提供了一个培训和个人/专业成长的经验，这将是独一无二的这个程序。这包括化学生物学，生物有机化学和科学伦理学所需的课程;每周一次的CBI研讨会系列邀请世界一流的科学家; CBI研讨会专注于研究，个人和专业成长;每年的职业日;研究成就的年度研讨会;以及来自我们CBI教师的世界级教师的定期互动/反馈。在加州大学圣地亚哥分校有资格参加这个培训项目的学生是优秀的- 83%的研究生在过去的10年里（出326）在培训师的实验室将有资格参加这个培训项目。鉴于校园在跨学科和合作研究方面的优势以及优秀的合格学员，我们相信加州大学圣地亚哥分校的CBI提供了一个极好的和独特的培训机会。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A predoctoral training program in Chemistry-Biology Interfaces (CBI) at University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) will leverage our historical strengths in interdisciplinary research and join faculty across the campus for a robust training environment. UC San Diego has historically excelled at the interface of chemistry and biology, and the renewed support from the University has ensured a strong and vibrant program in the future. Many of the training faculty in this program are new to the University (within the past 10 years), and the intercampus bonds established in this proposal represent vibrant collaborations that have recently been established. The proposal aims to train 10 students each year, with a 25% match of slots from the Graduate Dean, starting in their second year of graduate studies, and offering support for two years. The proposal establishes a special curriculum for students from one of four graduate programs: Chemistry and Biochemistry (in the Division of Natural Sciences), Engineering (Bioengineering or Nanoengineering), Biomedical Sciences (including the MSTP students), and Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Ocean Biosciences Program). These students will work in faculty laboratories in Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Bio- and Nanoengineering, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the Cancer Center. The respective deans/directors from each of these divisions/centers have offered significant institutional support, including the topping off of tuition/fees and stipends, providing additional trainee slots in the form of fellowships, and assisting administrative and organizational costs associated with this program. The curriculum we have put together offers a training and personal/professional growth experience that will be unique to this program. This includes required coursework in Chemical Biology, Bioorganic Chemistry, and Scientific Ethics; a weekly CBI Seminar Series that invite world-class scientists; a CBI Workshop that focuses on research, personal, and professional growth; an annual career day; an annual symposium of research accomplishments; and regular interaction/feedback from the world-class faculty in our CBI faculty. The pool of students qualified for this training program at UC San Diego is excellent - 83% of graduate students in the trainers' labs within the past 10 years (out of 326) would have been eligible for participation in this training program. Given the strengths of the campus in interdisciplinary and collaborative research and the outstanding pool of qualified trainees, we believe that CBI at UC San Diego offers an excellent and unique training opportunity.
