Chemical Biology Training Interface

项目摘要/摘要 石溪大学(SBU)化学生物学培训计划(CBTP)的总体目标是 培养成功的、独立的、专业的、严谨的、有道德的博士科学家 化学和生物以及(2)维持一个包容和支持 实习生发展。我们的使命是培养准备进入生物医学研究的科学家 并为美国的健康和人类福利做出重大贡献。该计划的基本原理 CBTP是我们的教员和项目具有通过在以下方面提供培训来促进生物医学发展的独特能力 化学-生物界面。培训目标是培养6项核心能力：概念性知识 化学生物学，研究技能，负责任的研究行为(RCR)，沟通技能， 专业精神、领导能力和管理技能。学员从4个研究生项目中挑选出来： 生物化学与结构生物学、化学、分子遗传学与微生物学、分子与细胞 药理学。学员的专业领域跨越化学生物学，就像CBTP的27名教员所做的那样 研究方向：传染病、肿瘤学、毒理学、免疫学、发育生物学、 神经生物学、药物设计、能量采集、细胞信号、有机合成、物理有机化学 酶学、药理学和材料化学。学员学习化学原理和技术 三学期核心课程序列中的生物学，包括严格、定量的数据收集、分析和 释义。CBTP融合了多个专业发展和网络机会，并 要求包括：每月召开研究报告会议，讨论严谨性和 可再现性和RCR进修培训；由校友领导的职业发展讲习班；讲习班以加强 专业精神、领导力和沟通能力，其中许多是与艾伦·阿尔达中心合作的 传播科学(SBU独有)；要求参加年度研讨会和海报会议；以及 大/小研究生兄弟姐妹指导计划。学员、教职员工和现场人员之间的沟通 委员会得到促进，学生、教职员工和项目通过必要的会议和 印度红葡萄酒。评估被用来确保指导学生及时毕业，并提供所需的 技能和成果，如第一作者出版物，严谨和可重复性的坚实基础，能力 批判性独立思考能力，团队合作能力，有效沟通能力，两者兼备 与来自不同背景的同事和学生，以及与公众。招聘和留用 URM/D学生是通过包括包容性教育中心(SBU独有的)在内的活动实现的。 在过去的5年里，URM/D CBTP学员占队列的比例从22%增加到35%。12个资金来源 每年申请职位，并配以3个机构培训名额。研究员在以下期间得到支持 他们的第二年和第三年，但参加该计划，直到毕业。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The overall goals of the Chemical Biology Training Program (CBTP) at Stony Brook University (SBU) are (i) to produce successful, independent, professional, rigorous, and ethical Ph.D. scientists trained at the interface of chemistry and biology and (ii) to maintain a scientific research environment that is inclusive and supportive of trainee development. Our mission is to train scientists prepared to enter the biomedical research-based workforce and make major contributions to health and human welfare in the United States. The rationale for the CBTP is that our faculty and program have the unique capability to advance biomedicine by providing training at the chemistry-biology interface. Training objectives are to develop 6 core competencies: conceptual knowledge of chemical biology, research skills, responsible conduct of research (RCR), communication skills, professionalism, and leadership & management skills. Trainees are selected from 4 graduate programs: Biochemistry & Structural Biology, Chemistry, Molecular Genetics & Microbiology, and Molecular & Cellular Pharmacology. Trainees specialize in fields spanning chemical biology, as the 27 faculty in the CBTP have research interests that include: infectious diseases, oncology, toxicology, immunology, developmental biology, neurobiology, drug design, energy-harvesting, cell-signaling, organic synthesis, physical organic chemistry, enzymology, pharmacology, and materials chemistry. Trainees learn principles and techniques of chemical biology in a core 3-semester course sequence including rigorous, quantitative data collection, analysis, and interpretation. The CBTP incorporates multiple professional development and networking opportunities and requirements including: required monthly meetings for research presentations, discussions on rigor and reproducibility, and RCR refresher training; career development workshops led by alumni; workshops to enhance professionalism, leadership, and communication skills, many in collaboration with the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science (unique to SBU); required participation in annual symposia and poster sessions; and a big/little graduate sibling mentorship program. Communication between trainees, faculty, and oversite committees is facilitated, and students, faculty, and the program are assessed through required meetings and rubrics. The assessments are used to ensure that students are guided to timely graduation with the required skills and outcomes, such as first-author publications, a strong foundation in rigor and reproducibility, the ability to think critically and independently, the ability to work in teams, and the ability to communicate effectively, both with colleagues and students from diverse backgrounds, as well as with the public. Recruitment and retention of URM/D students is achieved through activities that include the Center for Inclusive Education (unique to SBU). In the past 5 years, URM/D CBTP trainees have increased from 22% to 35% of the cohort. Twelve funded positions are requested per year, to be matched by 3 institutional training slots. Fellows are supported during their 2nd and 3rd year but participate in the program until graduation.
