The Curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology (GMB) is a well-established and highly-ranked interdepartmental PhD program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). For more than 50 years this program has provided cutting-edge research opportunities to trainees. In addition to our ongoing expertise in key areas in genetics (e.g., genetics of model microbes, plants, and animals) and molecular biology (e.g., signal transduction, gene expression, and virology), we have added strengths in epigenetics, clinical and translational genetics, systems genetics, quantitative genetics, computational genetics, and genomics. Extensive interaction between researchers in diverse areas is promoted by the interdepartmental and inter-school nature of the program, as well as many faculty centers, and is facilitated by the physical proximity of the different units on a single campus. Our mission is to train students from diverse backgrounds to conduct responsible research leading to a PhD, while also providing training and acquisition of skills for them to enter a variety of careers in research and research-related fields. We continuously update our program, based on our own studies and best practices throughout the field to ensure that it is modern and innovative. Several years ago we added “modular” 5-week courses that allow students to tailor their coursework more closely to their needs. We offer numerous career information and training events, as well as internships in industry, academia, and non-profit sectors. We compete nationally for the top students and have successfully recruit students from a variety of backgrounds, with about 20% belonging to one of the NIH-defined diversity groups. Our students are successful in obtaining competitive external funding, and every student publishes at least one first-authored research paper in a peer-reviewed journal. The vast majority of our students remain in scientific careers after they graduate. Most initially do postdoctoral research in academia, government labs, or private research foundations. Some remain in academic/government research, but others go into industry, science teaching, or science policy.

遗传学和分子生物学（GMB）课程是一个完善且排名很高的课程 北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校 (UNC-CH) 的跨院系博士项目 超过 50 人。 多年来，除了我们正在进行的项目之外，该项目还为学员提供了前沿的研究机会。 遗传学（例如，模型微生物、植物和动物的遗传学）和分子遗传学关键领域的专业知识 生物学（例如信号转导、基因表达和病毒学），我们增加了表观遗传学的优势， 临床和转化遗传学、系统遗传学、定量遗传学、计算遗传学和 跨部门促进了不同领域研究人员之间的广泛互动。 该计划的跨校性质以及许多教职中心，并由物理设施促进 同一校园内不同单位的邻近性。 我们的使命是培训来自不同背景的学生进行负责任的研究，从而实现 博士学位，同时还为他们提供培训和获取技能，以便他们进入研究和研究领域的各种职业 我们根据自己的研究和最佳实践不断更新我们的计划。 几年前，我们增加了为期 5 周的“模块化”课程。 课程使学生能够更贴近他们的需求定制课程。我们提供多种职业。 信息和培训活动，以及工业界、学术界和非营利部门的实习机会。 我们在全国范围内竞逐尖子生，并已成功招收来自不同领域的学生。 我们的学生中有大约 20% 属于 NIH 定义的多元化群体之一。 成功获得有竞争力的外部资助，每个学生至少发表一篇第一作者论文 我们的绝大多数学生在毕业后仍然从事科学事业。 他们大多数毕业后在学术界、政府实验室或私人研究机构从事博士后研究。 有些继续从事学术/政府研究，但另一些则进入工业、科学教学或 科学政策。
