Genetics Cellular and Molecular Sciences Training Grant

描述(由申请人提供)：拟议的遗传学、细胞和分子科学培训基金(GCMSTG)的目标是在从原子分辨率到大分子、细胞及其结构以及细胞和组织群体的一系列范围内，提供全面、相关和有吸引力的分子科学博士前培训。来自印第安纳大学生物、生物化学和化学系以及医学科学项目的56名培训人员涵盖了广泛的专业知识和研究兴趣，涵盖了生物化学、发育、细胞生物学、微生物学、分子遗传学、结构生物学和分子进化等不同学科。受训者有机会参与到高度协作和激励的知识环境中，这是由跨越生命科学研究领域的大型综合教师提供的。受训者注册核心课程，旨在从主要研究角度教授分子科学。关于文学分析、助学金写作、教学和伦理的课程，加上发展陈述技能的机会，是对核心课程的补充。受训者通过高级课程培养他们特定的兴趣。在整个学习过程中，学生都得到了培训学院、TG委员会和他们的论文委员会的广泛指导。具体的培训资助活动，包括每年一次的研讨会，每月一次的实习生会议，旅行支持，以及与来访的研讨会演讲者会面的机会，增进他们的经验，并创造丰富的知识环境。通过GCMSTG资助的许多学生来自生物系分子、生物学和遗传学研究生项目，尽管相当数量的专注于分子生物学的学员也将从生物学的生态学、进化和行为项目以及跨学科生物化学和医学研究生项目获得支持。LU GCMSTG在培养博士前学生方面有着长期而出色的记录，这些博士生继续在学术和工业生命科学领域发展成功和富有成效的职业生涯。这份重新提交的建议书要求继续提供16个培训职位，通过这些职位，我们将促进和发扬这一传统。 相关性：鲁GCMS TG使有才华的博士后学生能够实现他们的潜力，并发展成为杰出的生命科学家，在许多不同层面为人类健康和社会做出贡献。全面的课程作业、仔细的指导、先进的设施、密集的科学论述和教学，创造了一个让专注的学生茁壮成长的项目，并推动他们的职业生涯进入生物医学科学。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Sciences Training Grant (GCMSTG) is to provide comprehensive, relevant and engaging pre-doctoral training in the molecular sciences across a range of scales from atomic resolution, through macromolecules, to the cell and its structure, and to populations of cells and tissues. Fifty six Training Faculties from the Indiana University Biology, Biochemistry and Chemistry departments and the Medical Sciences Program, cover a broad range of expertise and research interests that encompass diverse disciplines including biochemistry, development, cell biology, microbiology, molecular genetics, structural biology, and molecular evolution. Trainees have the opportunity to engage in the highly collaborative and stimulating intellectual environment facilitated by a large, integrated faculty who span a tremendous breadth of life science research. Trainees enroll in a core curriculum designed to teach molecular science from a primary research perspective. Courses on literature analysis, grant writing, teaching and ethics, plus opportunities to develop presentation skills complement the core curriculum. Trainees cultivate their specific interests with advanced coursework. Throughout their studies, students are extensively mentored by the Training Faculty, the TG Committee and their thesis committees. Specific training grant activities including a yearly symposium, a monthly trainee meeting, travel support, and opportunities to meet with visiting seminar speakers, enhance their experience, and create a rich intellectual environment. Many students supported though the GCMSTG are from the Molecular, Biology and Genetics graduate program in the Biology Department, although a significant number of trainees with a molecular biological focus will also be supported from the Ecology, Evolution and Behavior program in Biology, and the Interdisciplinary Biochemistry and Medical Sciences graduate programs. The lU GCMSTG has a long and outstanding track record of training pre-doctoral students, who go on to develop successful and productive careers in academic and industrial life science sectors. This resubmitted proposal requests continuation of 16 training positions, through which we will contribute to and enhance this tradition. RELEVANCE: The lU GCMS TG enables talented pre-doctoral students to realize their potential and develop into outstanding life scientists, contributing to human health and society at many different levels. Comprehensive coursework, careful mentoring, advanced facilities, intensive scientific discourse and teaching, creates a program in which dedicated students thrive, and propel their careers forward into the biomedical sciences.
