Quantitative Chemical Biology

生物医学科学的定量和化学方法在后基因组时代变得越来越重要。通过完成多个测序工作，科学界对自然界的遗传“部分”有了全景式的了解，现在面临的挑战是获得这种复杂机器的功能知识。实现这一目标需要创新的生物医学研究方法，因此，我们的下一代科学家需要将定量、化学和生物方法无缝集成的培训。此应用程序描述了斯坦福大学创建定量 化学生物学（QCB）计划，这是一个校际计划，将培养跨学科研究的博士前和博士后学生。QCB计划将围绕几个模块组织，包括跨部门的研究生培训计划，QCB研究员计划，专业课程，研讨会和座谈会，以及两个QCB教师指导的设施，将支持后基因组研究项目。这些活动和资源将为培养年轻科学家建立一个新的范式，同时与斯坦福大学目前的项目协同作用，如Bio-X多学科研究计划。 该大学的最终目标是建立一个跨部门的，授予学位的QCB计划。在此期间，该计划将针对那些对跨学科研究感兴趣的分子药理学和化学系录取的学生，为他们提供不受限制地访问六个学术部门的十九个QCB附属实验室。QCB计划还将赞助与两名或更多QCB附属教师合作的博士后研究员。通过这些机制，QCB培训计划将支持一个多元化的社区，促进跨学科研究和合作发现，为未来的科学家提供无国界的科学景观。

Quantitative and chemical approaches to biomedical science are becoming increasingly important in the post-genomic era. Through the completion of multiple sequencing efforts, the scientific community has a panoramic view of nature's genetic 'parts', and it is now challenged with acquiring a functional knowledge of this complex machinery. Achieving this goal will require innovative approaches to biomedical research, and our next generation of scientists will therefore need training that seamlessly integrates quantitative, chemical, and biological methods. This application describes plans by Stanford University to create the Quantitative Chemical Biology (QCB) Program, an interschool initiative that will train predoctoral and postdoctoral students in interdisciplinary research. The QCB Program will be organized around several modules that include an interdepartmental graduate training program, a QCB Fellows program, specialized coursework, seminars and symposia, and two QCB faculty-directed facilities that will support post-genomic research projects. These activities and resources will establish a new paradigm for training young scientists, while synergizing with current programs at Stanford, such as the Bio-X initiative for multidisciplinary research. The University's ultimate goal is the creation of an interdepartmental, degree-granting QCB Program. In the interim, the Program will target students admitted to the Departments of Molecular Pharmacology and Chemistry who demonstrate an interest in interdisciplinary research, providing them with unrestricted access to nineteen QCB-affiliated laboratories in six academic departments. The QCB Program will also sponsor postdoctoral fellows who work collaboratively with two or more QCB-affiliated faculty members. Through these mechanisms, the QCB Training Program will support a diverse community that fosters interdisciplinary research and collaborative discovery, preparing future scientists for a scientific landscape without boundaries.
