Cell and Molecular Biology Training Program at West Virginia University

项目总结/摘要 西弗吉尼亚州的细胞与分子生物学和生物医学工程培训计划（CBTP） 该大学旨在提供细胞生物学、分子生物学和生物医学方面的高级研究培训 工程博士生有兴趣追求事业作为独立的科学家。CBTP借鉴了 现有的高水平培训，在生物医学科学博士课程在健康科学中心和在 化学工程博士课程在工程和矿产资源的斯塔特勒学院，其中有 刚刚投资了一个生物医学工程的博士项目。CBTP提供 通过提供生物医学科学的跨专业学习平台， 生物医学工程博士生在细胞生物学，分子生物学和 生物医学工程，通过纳米课程，互动期刊俱乐部，学生主办的研讨会和CBTP 组织区域会议。通过纳米课程和研讨会提供的其他经验将 加强受训人员的专业和职业发展，包括在领导能力方面， 沟通、网络、创业精神、团队合作和管理。CBTP利用现有强大的 研究生课程，确保有经验丰富，富有成效的导师组，高素质， 多样化的申请人群体，以及广泛的研究培训机会。科学的广度允许 受训者与具有不同观点并能提供新颖见解的同行探讨科学问题 解决问题的方法。CBTP致力于成功招募代表性不足的少数族裔， 为解决这一问题，制定了残疾和处境不利的学生和计划。成功 为CBTP制定的计划的实施将大大增强两个国家的培训经验， 一批学员，生物医学科学和生物医学工程博士生，增加他们的科学 和专业技能，为他们在生物医学劳动力的职业生涯做准备。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Cell & Molecular Biology and Biomedical Engineering Training Program (CBTP) at West Virginia University is designed to provide advanced research training in cell biology, molecular biology and biomedical engineering to PhD students interested in pursuing careers as independent scientists. The CBTP draws upon existing high level training in the biomedical sciences PhD programs in the Health Sciences Center and in the chemical engineering PhD program in the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, which has just invested in the development of a PhD program in Biomedical Engineering. The CBTP provides considerable added value by providing an interprofessional learning platform for biomedical science and biomedical engineering PhD students for instruction in advanced topics in cell biology, molecular biology and biomedical engineering, via nanocourses, interactive journal clubs, student hosted seminars and CBTP organized regional conferences. Additional experiences provided through nanocourses and symposia will enhance the professional and career development of trainees, including in the areas of leadership, communication, networking, entrepreneurship, teamwork and management. The CBTP utilizes strong existing graduate programs, ensuring an experienced and productive group of preceptors, a highly qualified and diverse applicant pool, and a wide range of research training opportunities. The scientific breadth allows trainees to engage scientific problems with peers who have diverse perspectives and can provide novel insight into approaches to problems. The CBTP is committed to successfully recruiting underrepresented minority, disabled and disadvantaged students and plans were developed to address this issue. The successful implementation of the plans outlined for the CBTP will significantly enhance the training experiences of two cohorts of trainees, biomedical science and biomedical engineering PhD students, increasing their scientific and professional skills in preparation for their careers in the biomedical workforce.
