这是加州大学化学-生物界面博士前培训基金的第一次续签申请 伯克利。该计划为研究生提供了独特的深度培训，在应用 研究和调节生物系统的化学原理和技术。该计划的 目标是鼓励化学和生物领域的进一步整合，并为学生 未来在这个界面上的研究。 研究生课程提供：1.)为一年级学生提供三次为期10周的轮换。说教的核心 根据学生个人兴趣选择附加课程的课程，3.)研讨会，4.)每年一次 撤退，按5。)在每个轮换周期结束时举行招贴会，6.)职业生涯日，7。)超级小组会议，8。)一个 化学生物学接口的博士论文，以及9。)积极的多元化招聘努力。 该计划从四个系的一年级学生的招生池中挑选学生 化学、分子和细胞生物学、化学工程和生物工程。学生的选拔时间为 他们声称对化学生物学研究感兴趣的基础，本科生的学习成绩，成绩 关于GRE考试，本科院校教职员工的推荐，以及之前的研究 经验。 该项目在前五年蓬勃发展，现有53名学生，36名参与教师，12名 博士校友。每年，符合条件的申请者人数都在增加。该计划的定位是扩大 以跟上需求。要求在轮换期间每年为12名一年级学生提供支持。 相关性(请参阅说明)： 这项建议培养学生在化学和生物领域的能力。学生们学到 在分子水平上操纵生物系统的语言和技术，这是 设计合理的病理过程诊断和治疗手段。反过来，研究 生物问题导致了新的化学合成和机械工具的发展

This is the first renewal application for the Chemistry-Biology Interface predoctoral training grant at UC Berkeley. The program provides graduate PhD students with a unique depth of training in the application of chemical principles and techniques to the investigation and modulation of biological systems. The program's goal is to encourage further integration of the fields of chemistry and biology and prepare students for a future of research at this interface. The graduate program provides: 1.) three 10-week rotations for first year students 2.) A core of didactic courses with additional courses selected based on individual student interest, 3.) seminars, 4.) annual retreat, 5.) Poster sessions at the end of each rotation period, 6.) career day, 7.) supergroup meetings, 8.) a PhD dissertation at the chemical biology interface, and 9.) aggressive diversity recruitment efforts. The program selects students from the matriculating pools of first year students in the 4 departments of Chemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology, Chemical engineering, and Bioengineering. Students are selected on the basis of their stated interest in chemical biology research, undergraduate scholastic performance, scores on GRE tests, recommendations from faculty at their undergraduate institutions, and previous research experience. The program has thrived during the first five years with 53 current students, 36 participating faculty, and 12 PhD alumni. Each year the pool of qualified applicants grows larger. The program is positioned to expand to keep up with demand. Annual support for 12 first-year students during their rotation period is requested. RELEVANCE (See instructions): This proposal trains students to develop competence in the fields of chemistry and biology. Students learn the language and techniques to manipulate biological systems at the molecular level, which is key for the design of rational means of diagnosis and treatment of pathological processes. Reciprocally, study of biological problems leads to the development of new synthetic and mechanistic tools in the chemical
