项目摘要

Support is requested to continue what has proven to be a highly successful program for the training of predoctoral students at the interface of chemistry and biology. Over the past fifteen years, this CBI training program has supported 66 graduate students, eight of which have subsequently received NSF, Keck Foundation, National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) or American Cancer Society predoctoral fellowships. In addition, Yale has made a conscious effort to increase its representation in this interdisciplinary area through new hires and promotions at the junior and senior levels in the departments of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCDB), Chemistry, and Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry (MB&B). Moreover, Yale University’s acquisition of the former Bayer Pharmaceuticals R&D site in neighboring West Haven allowed the launch a Chemical Biology Institute, which will ultimately house 9 additional faculty working at the chemistry/biology interface. Given this expansion of faculty, additional funds are requested to support a total of 12 CBI predoctoral trainees. All trainees admitted to the program have at least a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field and enter via application to the Chemistry department or to the Yale Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) program. Regardless of mode of entry all trainees share a common first year experience involving interdisciplinary course work, laboratory rotations, as well as close supervision and guidance from the Director of Graduate Students in conjunction with the Executive Committee. At the end of their first year, trainees chose a thesis advisor from among the 27 CBI trainers and begin intensive research with additional courses in their second year. Students are supported on this grant in years two and three of their doctoral training. All students teach for at least one year to aid in their training as teacher-scholars. Programs for increasing the number of minority trainees and for providing education in ethical issues related to research represent important parts of this training program. Special features of the training program include interdepartmental course work, including specially designed courses for the new trainees, a rigorous interdepartmental rotation schedule during which the trainee will experience science in three laboratories at Yale, a monthly in-house seminar program for discussion of recent results, Chemical Biology Fall Retreat and a highly successful annual Chemical Biology Symposium with a CBI Trainee Poster competition.

要求支持继续证明是一个非常成功的培训计划化学和生物学界面的杂物前学生。在过去的十五年中，这个CBI 培训计划支持了66名研究生，其中八名随后收到了NSF，凯克基金会，国防科学与工程毕业生（NDSEG）或美国癌症社会主导奖学金。此外，耶鲁大学已经有意识地努力增加其通过新的员工和晋升在这个跨学科地区的代表分子，细胞和发育生物学（MCDB），化学和分子生物物理学和生物化学（MB＆B）。此外，耶鲁大学收购该表格邻近西黑文的拜耳制药研发网站允许发射化学生物学研究所最终将在化学/生物学界面工作9个额外的教职员工。鉴于教师的扩展，请要求额外的资金支持12个CBI冠军学员。所有接受该计划的学员至少具有相关领域的学士学位，并通过应用于化学部门或耶鲁生物学和生物医学科学（BBS）程序。不管入境方式如何，所有学员都有共同的第一年经验跨学科课程工作，实验室轮换以及来自的密切监督和指导研究生主任与执行委员会结合。在第一年结束时，学员从27位CBI培训师中选择论文顾问，并开始进行深入研究第二年的其他课程。在第二年和三年级的这笔赠款中，学生得到了支持他们的博士培训。所有学生至少教一年，以帮助他们作为教师训练。增加少数培训数量和在道德问题中提供教育的计划与研究相关的是该培训计划的重要部分。该培训计划的特殊功能包括部门间课程工作，包括特殊为新训练设计的课程设计了，这是一个严格的部门间旋转时间表受训者将在耶鲁大学的三个实验室中体验科学，这是一个每月的内部开创性计划讨论最近结果，化学生物学秋季静修和非常成功的年化学与CBI训练海报竞赛的生物学研讨会。
