CHEMISTRY OF BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

产品说明：（摘自申请）该更新提案描述了继续开展强有力的化学-生物学接口（CBI）博士前培训计划的计划，该计划旨在培养基础有机和生物化学关键方面的科学家以及化学和生物学接口的科学学科。该计划，现在在其第五个年头，进一步推进我们最积极和最合格的学生的跨学科培训，通过集中他们的研究生学术工作围绕课程的核心课程，在跨越化学和生物学科的领域。每个学员可以在主要隶属于四个参与单位的十六名教师培训师的一个或多个实验室中进行博士论文研究：化学和化学生物学系（DCCB）分子生物学和遗传学系（DMBG）;神经生物学和行为系（DNBB）;和营养科学部（DNS）。所有参与的教师都在化学的各个方面拥有强大的研究项目，并得到美国国立卫生研究院的大力资助。他们的总体研究兴趣广泛分布在合成无机，生物有机，生物物理和高分子化学，以及X射线晶体学，NMR光谱学，蛋白质结构和功能，酶学和免疫学等领域。CBI学员在各自的单位参加核心学科的研讨会（通常每周一次），与教师一起参加每月一次的CBI研讨会计划，并组织每月一次的CBI“文学午餐”，那里没有教师在场。两个额外的功能区分康奈尔大学CBI计划。首先，学员邀请，组织，并主持特别CBI研讨会发言人每学期。其次，学员需要参加生物技术，生命科学或制药公司的实习，通过这些实习，他们可以接触到这些行业的跨学科生物医学研究并获得相关经验。

DESCRIPTION: (Taken from the Application) This renewal proposal describes plans to continue a vigorous chemistry-biology interface (CBI) predoctoral training program that is designed to train scientists in key aspects of fundamental organic and biological chemistry as well as in scientific disciplines at the interface of chemistry and biology. The program, now in its fifth year, further advances the interdisciplinary training of our most motivated and well-qualified students by focusing their graduate academic work around a core curriculum of courses in areas spanning both chemical and biological disciplines. Each trainee may carry out his or her doctoral thesis research in one or more of the laboratories of the sixteen faculty trainers primarily affiliated with four participating units: the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology (DCCB) the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (DMBG); the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior (DNBB); and the Division of Nutritional Sciences (DNS). All participating faculty have strong research programs in various aspects of chemistry, and are well-funded by the National Institutes of Health. Their overall research interests are broadly distributed over synthetic inorganic, bioorganic, biophysical and polymer chemistry, as well as such fields as x-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, protein structure and function, enzymology, and immunology. CBI trainees attend seminars in their core disciplines (usually weekly) in their respective units, participate together with faculty in a special monthly CBI seminar program, and organize monthly CBI "literature lunches" where no faculty are present. Two additional features distinguish the Cornell CBI program. First, trainees invite, organize, and host special CBI seminar speakers each semester. Secondly, trainees are required to participate in internships in biotech, life science, or pharmaceutical companies, through which they gain exposure to, and experience in, interdisciplinary biomedical research in these respective industries.
