Training Grant in Dynamic Aspects of Chemical Biology

 描述(由申请者提供)：堪萨斯大学(KU)化学生物学动态方面的博士培训计划旨在通过化学生物学界面教育博士毕业生。学生将在化学科学中发展工作知识、生物信息和技能。反之亦然：生物科学专业的学生毕业时将掌握化学知识。这一培训计划利用了当地50多年来科学家在化学、生物学和制药科学领域进行密切和有效合作的传统。来自化学、药物化学、分子生物科学和药物化学系的参与教职员工通过一个共同的主题联系在一起，即用小分子探索生物系统。这一培训计划的核心是建议建立一个综合的学术课程和研讨会系列，以服务于KU更广泛的化学生物学社区。为了达到这一目标，我们的竞争续期申请建议(1)修订课程，包括两门新的化学生物学课程，由学员要求，并在KU向更广泛的社区提供；(2)向所有附属系的研究生提供新的化学生物学研究生证书；(3)一系列充满活力的研讨会， (4)合作轮换，为参与培训的学员提供背景知识，了解培训目标的关键概念和方法；(5)继续进行负责任的研究工作培训。学员将从跨化学生物学接口的学科中协作接触现代实验技术和理论中获得好处，并将为迎接当代化学生物学的挑战做好充分准备。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The doctoral training program in the Dynamic Aspects of Chemical Biology at the University of Kansas (KU) aims to educate doctoral graduates across the chemistry biology interface. Students in the chemical sciences will develop a working knowledge biological information and skills. The converse will also be true: students in the biological sciences will graduate with a command of chemistry. This training program takes advantage of a local tradition of over 50 years of close and effective collaboration among scientists at the interface of chemistry, biology, and the pharmaceutical sciences. Participating faculty from the Departments of Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Molecular Biosciences and Pharmaceutical Chemistry are connected by a common theme of probing biological systems with small molecules. At the heart of this training program is the proposed establishment of an integrated academic curriculum and seminar series that will serve the broader Chemical Biology community at KU. In order to meet this goal, our competitive renewal application proposes (1) a revised curriculum including two new courses in chemical biology required by trainees and available to the broader community at KU; (2) a new Graduate Certificate in Chemical Biology available to all graduate students in the affiliated departments; (3) a vibrant seminar series that spans all four departments and provides instruction on different careers in chemical biology; (4) a collaborative rotation that provides participating trainees with the background for attaining a working knowledge of the key concepts and methods of the training goal; and (5) continued training in the responsible conduct of research. Trainees will reap the benefits of collaborative exposure to modern experimental techniques and theories in disciplines across the chemical biology interface and will be fully prepared to meet the challenges of contemporary chemical biology.
