PROJECT SUMMARY A fuller understanding of living systems at the molecular level has led to revolutionary changes in the fields of chemistry and biology and has made the boundary between these traditional disciplines less defined. To leverage the exciting scientific advances at the chemistry-biology interface and to be poised to make major contributions to biology and medicine, chemists and biologists must speak a common scientific language. The Chemistry-Biology Interface Training Program (CBI-TP) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) will offer an environment in which chemists and biologists can acquire interdisciplinary training that enables them to learn a common language and to acquire a shared set of research skills without compromising their ability to acquire deep discipline-specific knowledge in specialized areas of chemistry or biology. Through shared experiences in the classroom and in the laboratory, the CBI-TP is intended to enhance the studies of graduate students enrolled in six departments at UIUC: Chemistry, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Cell and Developmental Biology, and Molecular and Integrative Physiology. Each year, 12 trainees will be supported by the NIH, in addition to 5 matching positions supported by UIUC. Highlights of the program include courses specifically developed for the CBI-TP (including a hands-on laboratory course), first year laboratory rotations, strong training in rigor and reproducibility, an opportunity for internships, a highly diverse student body, and extremely strong institutional support. The program also offers unique opportunities for professional and career development including (i) a student-run seminar program during which trainees invite, host, and discuss their research with outside seminar speakers, (ii) creation of Individual Development Plans (IDPs) for which trainees are required to research at least three career options, join a professional organization, and attend at least one career-related workshop, (iii) options to earn relevant certifications such as the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Management, and/or take part in internships, and (iv) participation in multiple career development activities, intended to better prepare graduate students at the chemistry-biology interface for interesting and challenging career paths and opportunities. No matter their ultimate career goals, the CBI-TP platform at UIUC, running for 14 years now, has no equivalent elsewhere on our campus. The goal of the CBI-TP is to arm trainees with the breadth of education necessary to bridge the gap between the chemical and biological sciences. The trainees have been, and will continue to be, among those scientists making significant contributions to biomedicine as participants in and leaders of multidisciplinary teams in industry, government, or academia.

项目摘要 对分子层面的生活系统的更深入的了解导致了该领域的革命性变化 化学和生物学，使这些传统学科之间的界限较少。到 利用化学生物学界面上令人兴奋的科学进步，并准备使主要 化学家和生物学家对生物学和医学的贡献必须说一种通用的科学语言。这 伊利诺伊大学乌尔巴纳 - 坎佩恩大学（UIUC）的化学生物学接口培训计划（CBI-TP） 将提供一个环境，化学家和生物学家可以获得跨学科培训 他们学习一种通用语言，并获得一套共同的研究技能，而不会损害他们的 能够在化学或生物学专业领域获得深层学科特定知识的能力。通过 CBI-TP在课堂和实验室中的共享经验旨在增强对 UIUC六个部门的研究生：化学，化学和生物分子工程， 生物化学，微生物学，细胞和发育生物学以及分子和综合生理学。每个 除了UIUC支持的5个匹配职位外，NIH还将得到12名学员的支持。 该计划的亮点包括专门为CBI-TP开发的课程（包括动手 实验室课程），第一年的实验室轮换，严格和可重复性的强大培训，一个机会 实习，一个高度多样化的学生团体，以及非常强大的机构支持。该计划还提供 专业和职业发展的独特机会，包括（i）学生举办的研讨会计划 在此期间，学员邀请，主持和与外部研讨会演讲者讨论他们的研究，（ii）创建 需要学员至少研究三个职业选择的个人发展计划（IDP）， 加入专业组织，参加至少一个与职业相关的研讨会，（iii）选项以赚取相关 诸如企业家和管理证书等证书，和/或参加实习和/或 （iv）参加多种职业发展活动，旨在更好地为研究生做好准备 化学生物学界面，以实现有趣而挑战的职业道路和机遇。不管他们 UIUC的CBI-TP平台的最终职业目标已经运行了14年，在其他地方没有等效 我们的校园。 CBI-TP的目的是为受训者提供桥梁的整个教育，以弥合 化学科学和生物科学之间的差距。学员已经并且将继续是 那些科学家作为参与者和领导者为生物医学做出了重大贡献 工业，政府或学术界的多学科团队。
