Molecular and Cellular Biophysics Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：北卡罗来纳州大学分子和细胞生物物理学培训计划（PMCB）是一个跨学科的研究生培训计划，有三个基本目标：1。吸引有才华的研究生将定量和数学科学的方法和概念应用于生物学问题。2.提供一个灵活的工具，培训这一多样化的研究生群体，他们与我们的生物物理学教师分享致力于开发复杂生物系统和过程的分子水平描述。3.促进教师和学生的这一多元化群体内的互动和提高培训和研究环境。PMCB继续在满足所有三个目标方面表现出色，最近扩大了其重点，与生物物理学会建立了生物物理学暑期课程，旨在吸引有才华的少数民族本科生到该领域。在科学研究生课程的重大变化，在组织有必要在我们的计划以及变化，并导致了在生物物理学博士学位课程的计划。此应用程序是为我们成功的培训工作，并在支持我们的努力，在这些新的领域向前迈进继续资助。 公共卫生相关性：申请人未提供。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of North Carolina Molecular and Cellular Biophysics Training Program (PMCB) is an interdisciplinary graduate training program with three essential aims: 1. to attract talented post-graduate students to apply the methods and concepts of the quantitative and mathematical sciences to problems in biology. 2. to provide a flexible vehicle for training this diverse group of graduate students who share with our biophysics faculty a commitment to developing molecular level descriptions of complex biological systems and processes. 3. to foster interactions and enhance the training and research environment within this diverse group of faculty and students. The PMCB continues to excel in meeting all three Aims, and most recently has expanded its focus to establish with the Biophysical Society a Summer Course in Biophysics designed to attract talented minority undergraduate students to the field as well. Significant changes in the organization of science graduate programs at UNC have necessitated changes in our Program as well and have led to plans for a PhD degree program in biophysics at UNC. This application is for continued funding of our successful training efforts and in support our efforts to move forward in these new areas. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Not provided by the applicant.
