BIOTECHNOLOGY TRAINING PROGRAM

威斯康星州-麦迪逊大学的生物技术培训计划（BTP）旨在培养一批新的研究人员，他们使用生物-物理-计算科学界面的跨学科方法来解决生物医学问题。该BTP是一个多维度的计划，建立在现有的学科卓越跨越5个学院，同时为学员提供一套共同的跨学科的经验。BTP学员被录取并满足领先的博士学位的要求。如细菌学，生物化学，生物分子化学，化学，化学工程和药学。这些核心研究生课程丰富的卓越历史为BTP学员成为各自领域未来的领导者做好了准备。共同的一套跨学科的经验，从他们的同龄人，包括生物技术为导向的未成年人课程计划，定期互动与BTP从另一个学科的未成年人教授，在生物技术学生研讨会计划的参与，和工业实习。这些共同的经验确保BTP学员将精通分子生物学，遗传学，生物化学/生理学原理，这些原理将成为21世纪世纪的跨学科科学家和工程师。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校是该国最大的BTP的自豪赞助商，拥有33名NIH资助的学员。在其9年的历史中，BTP培养了109名博士。在20个博士学位中与68个不同的教师合作的学生。程序.随着学生对BTP的兴趣不断增长，学员参与所有BTP活动的机会越来越有限。因此，我们要求在未来3年中每年增加3个NIH资助的职位，因此稳定状态下总共将有42名BTP学员。增加NIH的支持将允许更多高质量的学生参加BTP活动，并扩大跨学科的跨校园互动的广度。在生物医学研究社区的学生和教师之间的互动的这种扩展将提高BTP学员利用最近的技术进步和解决在生物-物理-计算科学接口出现的问题的能力。

The Biotechnology Training Program (BTP) at the University of Wisconsin- Madison seeks to train a new cadre of researchers who use cross- disciplinary approaches from the biological-physical-computational science interface to solve biomedical problems. The BTP is a multi- dimensional program that builds on existing disciplinary excellence across 5 colleges while providing trainees a common set of cross- disciplinary experiences. BTP trainees are admitted to and fulfill the requirements of leading Ph.D. programs such as Bacteriology, Biochemistry, Biomolecular Chemistry, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Pharmacy. The rich history of excellence within these core graduate programs prepares BTP trainees to become future leaders in their respective fields. The common set of cross-disciplinary experiences that distinguished BTP trainees from their peers including a biotechnology oriented minor course program, regular interactions with a BTP minor professor from another discipline, participation in a biotechnology student seminar program, and an industrial internship. These common experiences ensure that BTP trainees will be conversant in the molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry/physiology principles that will be required to function as cross-disciplinary scientists and engineers in the 21st century. UW-Madison is the proud sponsor of the largest BTP in the country, with 33 NIH-funded trainees. In its 9 year history, the BTP has trained 109 Ph.D. students who worked with 68 different faculty in 20 Ph.D. programs. As student interest in the BTP has continued to grow, the opportunities for trainees to partake of all BTP activities is increasingly constrained. Consequently, we are requesting 3 more NIH- funded positions in each of the next 3 years so there will be a total of 42 BTP trainees at steady-state. Increased NIH support will permit more high-quality students to partake of BTP activities and expand the breadth of cross-disciplinary interactions across campus. This expansion of interactions among students and faculty in the biomedical research community will increase the ability of BTP trainees to capitalize on recent technological advances and solve emerging problems at the biological-physical-computational science interface.
