Genetics and Cell Biology

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是在洛克菲勒大学，在这些领域具有丰富的历史机构遗传学和细胞生物学博士前培训计划的更新。遗传学和细胞生物学培训计划是博士的一个专门单位。该计划是专门为遗传学和细胞生物学培训而设计的。该培训计划包括遗传学和细胞生物学的必修课程，包括专门为学员提供的阅读课程，以及广泛的遗传学和细胞生物学研究机会。50名教师培训师都是有成就的科学家，包括4名诺贝尔奖获得者和21名美国国家科学院院士，他们在研究生教育方面有着共同的兴趣和经验。该计划的跨学科性质鼓励学员与不同的教师在各个领域进行协作。我们建议在研究生学习的第2-4年支持12名博士前学员。申请人群体非常优秀，包括大量具有成就的本科记录，丰富的研究经验以及对遗传学和细胞生物学的浓厚兴趣的学生。学员将由项目主任指导;一个由选定的教师组成的项目咨询委员会，负责提供一般课程和研究建议;还有一个教师咨询委员会，专门为每个学员设计，提供详细的实验指导。最后，该大学提供了广泛的支持一般的研究生课程，这有利于遗传学和细胞生物学培训计划。这些属性的融合定义了一个特定的培训计划，该计划将为学员提供教育背景，分析能力和实验专业知识，以促进遗传学和细胞生物学的未来发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a renewal for a pre-doctoral training program in Genetics and Cell Biology at The Rockefeller University, an institution with a rich history in these areas. The Genetics and Cell Biology Training Program is a specialized unit of the Ph.D. program at Rockefeller, and is specifically designed for training in genetics and cell biology. The training program includes required coursework in genetics and cell biology, including a readings course exclusively for trainees, and research opportunities in a very broad range of genetics and cell biology. The 50 faculty trainers are accomplished scientists, including 4 Nobel laureates and 21 members of the US National Academy of Sciences, with a shared interest and experience in graduate education. The interdisciplinary nature of the program encourages trainees to perform collaborative work in various areas with different faculty. We propose to support 12 pre-doctoral trainees during years 2-4 of graduate study. The applicant pool is outstanding, including a large number of students with accomplished undergraduate records, extensive research experience and a strong interest in genetics and cell biology. Trainees would be mentored by the Program Director; a Program Advisory Committee of selected faculty for general curriculum and research advice; and a Faculty Advisory Committee, specifically designed for each trainee to provide detailed experimental guidance. Finally, the University provides extensive support for the graduate program in general, which benefits the Genetics and Cell Biology training program. The confluence of these attributes defines a specific training program that would equip trainees with the educational background, analytical abilities, and experimental expertise to forge future advances in genetics and cell biology.
