Training Program in Marine Biotechnology

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请旨在建立海洋生物技术和生物医学研究领域的研究生培训计划（仅限博士预科）。这个新项目将以加州大学圣地亚哥分校斯克里普斯海洋学研究所的海洋生物技术和生物医学中心（CMBB）为中心，并将涉及加州大学圣地亚哥分校众多部门和研究生项目的参与。海洋生物技术培训项目（TPMB）是为有意从事海洋生物医学、海洋生物材料研究、生物修复、海洋微生物学和分子生物学、海洋基因组学以及海洋生物进化、代谢和生理模型等广泛学科的学生提供的主要培训机会。这个项目是由一个雄心勃勃的23名教师组成的团队提出的，他们将合作创建一个前所未有的项目，将新的海洋和生物医学技术联系起来。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks to establish a graduate training program (predoctoral only) in the field of marine biotechnology and biomedical research. The new program would be centered within the Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine (CMBB) at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), University of California, San Diego, and would involve participation from numerous departments and graduate programs at UCSD. The Traininq Program in Marine Biotechnology, TPMB, is proposed as a major training opportunity for students interested in careers in the broad disciplines of marine biomedicinals, marine biomaterials research, bioremediation, marine microbiology and molecular biology, marine genomics, and marine life as models of evolution, metabolism and physiology. The program is proposed by an ambitious group of 23 faculty who will collaborate to create an unprecedented program that links new marine and biomedical technologies. The marine biotechnology and biomedicine discipline is one of the most highly subscribed graduate research areas within SIO. The opportunity to create a separate Training Program will provide stability in our teaching efforts and result in an entirely new educational opportunity not found elsewhere. Our emphasis on combining marine biotechnologies with recent advances in biomedical science is not available in related centers. Our excellent research capabilities at UCSD in the Schools of Engineering, Marine Science and Medicine provide training opportunities that easily transcend traditional departmental boundaries. Lastly, the La Jolla area has grown to become one of the world's most impressive industrial biotechnology communities. Together, these resources will create a multidisciplinary training experience difficult to achieve elsewhere.
