DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this grant application and the mission of the Physiology Course at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) are to provide interdisciplinary training in cell physiology, anticipating future developments that we believe will be important in the next 20 years. We and many others, see a key challenge for the future in quantitative analysis and computational modeling of cell physiology. The MBL Physiology course will provide a unique interdisciplinary training environment and research program to meet this challenge. It is our vision that the course will bring together biological and physical/computational scientists, both in the faculty and student body to study and work together on current exciting problems in cell physiology. The course design consists of three threads: cell motility; cell division and signaling accompanied by computational analysis that will span three 2-week sessions. These sessions will promote learning by practice with a particular emphasis on stimulating experimental creativity and interdisciplinary approaches. The co-directors for the course, Ron Vale and Tim Mitchison are leading cell biologists with strong training records. They have assembled an outstanding faculty which includes teachers with backgrounds in cellular physiology, physics, engineering and computational science. In addition the co-directors have added a group of distinguished visiting scholars and members of the MBL scientific community to provide additional training. In the summer of 2004, the inaugural year of the new Physiology course, Tim Hunt, Martin Raft, Andrew Murray and Tony Hyman will be Visiting Scholars to the course. We will strive to make this course a recognized venue for interdisciplinary training where experimental and physical/computational scientists gather to teach others their philosophies and approaches. In this application we request support for this exciting endeavor.

描述（由申请人提供）： 本次拨款申请的目标和海洋生物实验室 (MBL) 生理学课程的使命是提供细胞生理学的跨学科培训，并预测我们认为在未来 20 年将非常重要的未来发展。 我们和许多其他人都看到了细胞生理学定量分析和计算建模未来的关键挑战。 MBL生理学课程将提供独特的跨学科培训环境和研究计划来应对这一挑战。我们的愿景是，该课程将汇集教师和学生中的生物和物理/计算科学家，共同研究和共同解决细胞生理学中当前令人兴奋的问题。课程设计由三个线索组成：细胞运动；细胞分裂和信号传导以及计算分析将跨越三个为期两周的课程。这些课程将促进实践学习，特别强调激发实验创造力和跨学科方法。 该课程的联合主任 Ron Vale 和 Tim Mitchison 是拥有丰富培训记录的领先细胞生物学家。他们聚集了一支优秀的师资队伍，其中包括具有细胞生理学、物理学、工程学和计算科学背景的教师。此外，联合主任还增加了一批杰出的访问学者和 MBL 科学界成员来提供额外的培训。 2004 年夏天，即新生理学课程的开学年，蒂姆·亨特 (Tim Hunt)、马丁·拉夫特 (Martin Raft)、安德鲁·默里 (Andrew Murray) 和托尼·海曼 (Tony Hyman) 将成为该课程的访问学者。 我们将努力使本课程成为公认的跨学科培训场所，实验和物理/计算科学家聚集在一起向他人传授他们的哲学和方法。在此申请中，我们请求对这一激动人心的努力的支持。
