Chemical and Molecular Pharmacology Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份申请，要求支持化学和分子药理学培训计划，这是一项2003年开展的新项目。 整个基因组的测序和无数蛋白质和信号转导通路的初步表征挑战我们解开细胞信号网络的设计原则，并了解药物如何能够和确实影响它们。这一挑战将需要应用严格的定量方法和概念，物理，化学，工程和信息学的生物医学问题。因此，它还需要招聘一个不同类型的学生到该领域，一个学生的兴趣和能力在定量科学。 化学和分子药理学培训补助金支持定量导向的学生在化学和系统生物学博士的严格培训。程序，这已经演变出分子药理学博士学位。程序.该计划的正式课程不仅包括核心药理学学科，如药代动力学和药效学，还包括从物理科学中提取的材料。此外，学生的研究工作是在跨学科科学的前沿。 我们坚信，在生物学和物理科学方面的强有力的培训对于培养未来的化学和分子药理学领导者至关重要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for support for the Chemical and Molecular Pharmacology Training Program, a new venture undertaken in 2003. The sequencing of whole genomes and the initial characterization of myriad proteins and signal transduction pathways challenges us to unravel the design principles of cell signaling networks and understand how drugs can and do impinge upon them. This challenge will require the application of rigorous quantitative methods and concepts-those of physics, chemistry, engineering and informatics-to biomedical problems. It will therefore also require the recruitment of a different type of student to the field, a student with interests and abilities in quantitative science. The Chemical and Molecular Pharmacology training grant supports the rigorous training of quantitatively oriented students in the Chemical and Systems Biology Ph.D. program, which has evolved out of the Molecular Pharmacology Ph.D. program. The formal course work for the program includes not only core pharmacology disciplines like pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, but also material drawn from the physical sciences. In addition, the students' research work is at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary science. It is our conviction that strong training in both biology and physical sciences is essential for training future leaders in chemical and molecular pharmacology
