Graduate Training in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

 描述（由申请人提供）：亚利桑那大学的生物化学，分子和细胞生物学（BMCB）研究生课程是一个跨部门和跨学科的研究生课程，旨在为学生提供知识和技能，使他们能够在生命科学的职业生涯中取得成功。通过培训学生识别，在分子水平上回答生物科学中重要的开放性问题，我们最终为他们提供生物学多个领域的坚实基础知识，并帮助他们发展可转移的技能，以适应整个职业生涯中生物学概念和技术进步的快速发展。这种竞争性的续约申请寻求支持16-20年的一个程序，有效的培训，为我们所有的学生，特别是在招聘和支持学生的代表性不足的群体强大的成功证明的历史。我们寻求10名学员的支持，他们将通过竞争过程从BMCB研究生课程的培训补助金合格学生中选出。我们的培训计划侧重于跨越整个培训期间的互补活动，并积极参与计划教师和学生的相互学习的伙伴关系。目前，来自5所学院13个部门的52名成功培训师和两个博士学位课程的30名学生隶属于该计划。培训教师的研究计划在生物化学，分子和细胞生物学，系统生物学的接口交叉，并在人类健康和疾病的保护伞下，为学生提供生物学问题和方法的相当大的呼吸，从中选择他们的论文研究项目。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Biochemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology (BMCB) graduate program at the University of Arizona is an interdepartmental and interdisciplinary graduate program that seeks to equip students with the knowledge and skills to succeed in careers in the life sciences for the long term. By training students to identify, ask an answer significant open questions in the biological sciences at the molecular level, we ultimately provide them with solid foundational knowledge in multiple areas of biology and help them to develop transferrable skills to adapt to the rapid pace of conceptual and technological advances in biology throughout their careers. This competitive renewal application seeks support for years 16-20 for a program with a proven history of effective training for all of our students and especially strong success in the recruitment and support of students from underrepresented groups. We seek support for 10 trainees, who will be selected from training grant eligible students enrolled in the BMCB graduate program through a competitive process. Our training program focuses on complementary activities that span the entire training period and that actively engage program faculty and students in a partnership of mutual learning. Currently, 52 accomplished trainers from 13 departments in 5 colleges and 30 students in two PhD degree programs are affiliated with the program. The research programs of the training faculty intersect at the interfaces of biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, and systems biology and under the umbrella of human health and disease, providing students with considerable breath in biological questions and approaches from which to choose their thesis research projects.
