Training in Cellular, Biochemical and Molecular Sciences

描述（由申请人提供）：南加州大学（USC）细胞，生物化学和分子科学培训计划（CBM培训计划）为学生在跨学科生物医学研究和相关职业的职业生涯做好准备。该计划的主要目标是促进跨学科培训，使学生了解计算方法，这将有助于他们当前和未来的研究和职业生涯。学员是从14个不同的博士学位。南加州大学的课程涵盖了生物医学和生物科学的整个领域。这确保了受训人员在CBM计划中获得多学科的经验，并且是南加州大学的“精华”。CBM学员具有不同的背景和研究兴趣，来自美国和外国的许多地区，包括代表性不足的少数民族学生。除了他们的博士学位的要求。培训计划，学员受益于培训计划的具体活动，包括每月的学员研究报告，计算或职业发展主题的研讨会，与南加州大学以外的选定发言人的互动，参与新研究生的招聘，研究道德标准的培训，以及年度务虚会。CBM计划的计算主题利用了USC在计算基因组学和癌症流行病学方面的特殊优势，这两个领域都强调复杂数据集的定量处理。大多数CBM学员在研究生院的第二和第三年得到支持，并继续参加该计划，直到完成博士学位。℃下CBM计划与南加州大学的优秀研究生招聘机制密切合作，称为生物医学和生物科学计划（PIBBS）。在南加州大学的第一年，PIBBS的学生与几个教师轮换，从任何生物学博士中选择。USC的节目。杰出的PIBBS网站每年吸引100多名美国人和500多名总申请人。教职员工参加国家和地区招聘会，包括那些针对代表性不足的少数民族学生。我们还与BRIDGES-to-the-Ph.D.建立了正式的合作伙伴关系。地方少数民族服务机构的项目。 这些措施确保我们将继续吸引不同类别的高素质学员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Southern California (USC) Training Program in Cellular, Biochemical, and Molecular Sciences (CBM Training Program) prepares students for careers in interdisciplinary biomedical research and related occupations. Major goals of the Program are to promote interdisciplinary training and to make students aware of computational methods which will be useful for their current and future research and for their careers. Trainees are selected from 14 different Ph.D. programs at USC which span the entire spectrum of biomedical and biological sciences. This ensures that Trainees receive a multidisciplinary experience in the CBM Program and are the "cream of the crop" at USC. CBM Trainees have diverse backgrounds and research interests, come from many parts of the U.S. and foreign countries, and include under-represented minority students. In addition to the requirements of their Ph.D. programs, Trainees benefit from Training Program-specific activities, including monthly Trainee research presentations, workshops with computational or career development themes, interactions with selected speakers from outside USC, participation in recruitment of new graduate students, training in ethical standards of research, and an annual retreat. The computational theme of the CBM Program takes advantage of areas of special strength at USC in computational genomics and cancer epidemiology, both of which emphasize quantitative treatments of complex data sets. Most CBM Trainees are supported during their second and third years of graduate school and continue to participate in the Program until completion of their Ph.D. degree. The CBM Program works closely with USC's outstanding graduate student recruitment mechanism, called Program in Biomedical and Biological Sciences (PIBBS). During their first year at USC, students in PIBBS rotate with several faculty, chosen from any biologically-oriented Ph.D. program at USC. The outstanding PIBBS web site attracts more than 100 U.S. and more than 500 total applicants per year. Faculty and staff attend national and regional recruitment fairs, including those targeted to under-represented minority students. We also have formal partnerships with BRIDGES-to-the-Ph.D. programs at local minority-serving institutions. These measures ensure that we will continue to attract a diverse group of high-quality trainees.
