Training Program in Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology

描述(由申请人提供)：生物化学、细胞和分子生物学培训计划为博士前候选人提供广泛的细胞结构和功能领域的多学科培训。培训学院组成了生物化学、细胞和发育生物学(BCDB)的跨部门研究生计划，这是埃默里大学生物和生物医学研究生部(GDBBS)的八个跨学科培训计划之一。54个培训学院在不同的系担任主要学术职务，包括生物化学、生物学、细胞生物学、化学、人类遗传学、医学(消化系统疾病、肾脏病、肺内科)、眼科、病理学、药理学、生理学、外科和温希普癌症研究所。他们的研究计划分为四个主要的重叠主题：生物化学/结构生物学、癌症生物学、细胞生物学和发育生物学。伴随着这一系列生物学问题，学员能够利用不同的模型系统和最先进的技术资源。这7项津贴支持学生第二年的培训，尽管一些优秀学生在第三年的部分时间也得到了支持。学员是从更大规模的母公司北京开发银行项目录取的学生中挑选出来的，该项目目前有学员。所有学员都要学习一门强调生物化学、分子生物学、生物物理学、细胞生物学、遗传学和发育生物学基础的核心课程。科学写作、研讨会报告和伦理学方面的额外课程也是必修课。所有生物医学学科都提供高级选修课，让学生为他们的研究生涯做深入和个性化的准备。由BCMB赞助、学员组织的年度研讨会、每周期刊俱乐部和研讨会丰富了培训环境。在经过适当的博士后培训后，成功的毕业生将非常适合从事独立的研究事业。在这方面，大多数毕业生已经进入顶级博士后职位，一些人现在在顶级学术机构担任终身教职。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Training Program in Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology provides the predoctoral candidate with multidisciplinary training in the broad area of cell structure and function. The Training Faculty constitute the interdepartmental Graduate Program in Biochemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology (BCDB), one of eight interdisciplinary training programs in the Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences (GDBBS) at Emory. The 54 Training Faculty hold their primary academic appointments in diverse departments including, Biochemistry, Biology, Cell Biology, Chemistry, Human Genetics, Medicine (Digestive Diseases, Nephrology, Pulmonary Medicine), Ophthalmology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Physiology, Surgery, and the Winship Cancer Institute. Their research programs are clustered into four main overlapping themes: biochemistry/structural biology, cancer biology, cell biology and developmental biology. Concomitant with this range of biological problems, the trainee is able to take advantage of diverse model systems and state- of-the-art technical resources. The 7 stipends support students in their second year of training, although some exceptional students are supported for a portion of their third year as well. Trainees are selected for support from the larger pool of students matriculating in the parent BCDB Program, which currently has 64 trainees. All trainees take a core curriculum that emphasizes the foundations of biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, cell biology, genetics and developmental biology. Additional courses in scientific writing, seminar presentation, and ethics are also required. Advanced electives are available in the full range of biomedical disciplines to give the student in-depth and individualized preparation for their research careers. The training environment is enriched by the BCMB-sponsored, trainee-organized annual Symposium, weekly journal clubs and seminars. The successful graduate will be well suited, after appropriate postdoctoral training, to pursue an independent research career. In this regard, most graduates have moved on to top tier postdoctoral positions, and some now hold tenure-track, or tenured, positions in top academic institutions.
