PROJECT SUMMARY The mission of the UCLA Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB) Training Program, currently in its 46th year, is to provide essential training for the next generation of PhDs in the developing fields of genomics, proteomics, systems biology, quantitative and structural biology, stem cell biology, and bioinformatics so that they are poised for successful careers in the biosciences. In addition, the CMB provides students with operational and professional skills training in an inclusive, collaborative, and supportive environment. The CMB Training Program brings together students and faculty from the life sciences and physical sciences who share a common interest in cellular and molecular biology but whose interactions might otherwise be limited. The 37 faculty that will participate in the CMB Training Program are drawn from nine departments that span the UCLA School of Medicine and the UCLA College. These training faculty are passionate about using cutting-edge multidisciplinary approaches to tackle complex biological questions at the cellular and molecular level. The proximity of research buildings and university-supported state-of-the-art shared resources, along with the collaborative spirit that defines biomedical research at UCLA, facilitate cross-discipline interactions and foster interdisciplinary research studies. This environment provides trainees a unique opportunity to obtain broad foundational training in modern cell and molecular biology. CMB trainees are drawn from four PhD graduate programs: the Molecular Biology Interdepartmental Program; Neuroscience; Biochemistry, Molecular & Structural Biology; and Chemistry. Each year, the CMB Training Program will recruit 12 new students to a two-year program, which will be inclusive of students from underrepresented groups in the sciences. As part of the CMB training plan, CMB trainees must take four foundational courses that were designed specifically for training in modern cellular and molecular biology research. The objectives of these courses are to train students to develop technical, operational, and professional skills that will prepare them for biomedical careers including: a broad understanding of the cell and molecular biology field and the pressing questions and modern approaches used to address them; rigorous experimental design skills; statistical skills for data analysis; analytical and critical thinking skills; oral and written communication skills; resilience skills; and an understanding of how to conduct safe and ethical research studies. Through a CMB career development course, trainees are also exposed to broad biomedical careers and acquire knowledge on how to prepare and apply for these professions. The CMB Training Program also provides mentoring and structured cohort-building and training activities, like the CMB Luncheon Seminar Series and the CMB retreat, that engage, support, and retain students in science and promote collaborative studies among trainees. Together, the CMB Training Program’s student-centered interdisciplinary research training, active learning curriculum, career-development activities, mentoring, and community-building activities contribute to the successful training of diverse students for a broad array of biomedical careers.

项目摘要 UCLA细胞和分子生物学（CMB）培训计划的任务（目前已有46年）是 在基因组学，蛋白质组学的发展领域中为下一代博士提供基本培训， 系统生物学，定量和结构生物学，干细胞生物学和生物信息学，以便它们被毒死 对于生物科学的成功职业。此外，CMB为学生提供了运营和 包括包容性，协作性和支持性环境的专业技能培训。 CMB培训计划 从生命科学和身体科学中汇集了分享共同利益的学生和教师 在细胞和分子生物学中，但其相互作用可能受到限制。 37位教职员工 参加CMB培训计划是从UCLA学校的九个部门绘制的 医学和加州大学洛杉矶分校学院。这些培训教师热衷于使用尖端的多学科 在细胞和分子水平上解决复杂生物学问题的方法。研究的距离 建筑物和大学支持的最先进的共享资源以及协作精神 在UCLA定义生物医学研究，促进跨学科的互动并促进跨学科研究 研究。这种环境为受训者提供了获得现代广泛基础培训的独特机会 细胞和分子生物学。 CMB学员来自四个博士学位研究生课程：分子生物学 部门间计划；神经科学；生物化学，分子和结构生物学；和化学。每个 一年，CMB培训计划将招募12名新学生参加为期两年的计划，这将包括在内 科学中代表性不足的群体的学生。作为CMB培训计划的一部分，CMB学员必须 参加四个专门为现代细胞和分子培训而设计的基础课程 生物学研究。这些课程的目标是培训学生开发技术，运营和 专业技能将为生物医学职业做好准备，包括：对细胞和细胞的广泛理解 分子生物学领域以及用于解决这些问题的紧迫问题和现代方法； 实验设计技能；数据分析的统计技能；分析和批判性思维能力；口头和书面 沟通技巧；弹性技能；并了解如何进行安全和道德研究。 通过CMB职业发展课程，学员还接触了广泛的生物医学职业并获得 有关如何准备和申请这些职业的知识。 CMB培训计划还提供 指导和结构化的队列建设和培训活动，例如CMB午餐研讨会系列和 CMB务虚会，参与，支持和保留学生在科学领域，并促进合作研究 学员。 CMB培训计划以学生为中心的跨学科研究培训，活跃 学习课程，职业发展活动，心理和社区建设活动有助于 成功培训了潜水员的学生，从而获得了各种生物医学职业。
