Synthetic Molecules in Biological Systems

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯A&M大学的CBI培训计划成立于1994年。它包括来自理学院化学系，农业和生命科学学院生物化学与生物物理系，以及医学院医学生物化学与遗传学系的教师。重点是为学生提供跨学科培训，重点是机械和综合方法。每年将增加四名新的受训人员，并为他们头两年的研究生学习提供支助。在此期间，学生进行实验室轮换，并参加机械化学，生物化学，生物有机化学，分子生物学和伦理学的正式课程。他们还参加了化学生物学杂志俱乐部在他们的研究生生涯。学生通过化学系或生物化学与生物物理系录取并获得学位; CBI计划的要求与两个部门的学位要求兼容。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The CBI Training Program at Texas A&M University was established in 1994. It includes faculty from the Department of Chemistry in the College of Science, the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and the Department of Medical Biochemistry & Genetics in the College of Medicine. The emphasis is on providing interdisciplinary training to students, with a focus on mechanistic and synthetic approaches. Four new trainees will be added each year and supported for their first two years of graduate study. During this time students carry out laboratory rotations and take formal coursework in mechanistic chemistry, biological chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, molecular biology, and ethics. They also participate in a Chemical Biology journal club throughout their graduate careers. Students are admitted through and receive degrees from either the Department of Chemistry or the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics; the requirements of the CBI program are compatible with the degree requirements of both departments.
