DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: This application requests continued support for a Predoctoral Training Program in Biotechnology that was first funded in 1990. Twenty eight participating faculty are drawn from eight departments and four colleges: Chemistry, Biological Sciences (College of Liberal Arts & Sciences); Biochemistry, Microbiology, Pharmacology (College of Medicine); Civil & Environmental Engineering, Chemical & Biochemical Engineering (College of Engineering); Medicinal and Natural Products Chemistry (College of Pharmacy). This diverse faculty provides trainees with disciplinary backgrounds that lead to the Ph.D. degree in their respective departments. The following required activities provide the interdisciplinary background appropriate for biotechnology-oriented careers: a) at least one course in each of the three core areas of biotechnology (Biocatalysis, Bioreactors & Bioseparations, Molecular Biology & Genetics); b) participation in the interdisciplinary seminar "Perspectives in Biocatalysis"; c) participation in the Biocatalysis Seminar Program; d) take a course entitled "Responsible Conduct of Research"; e) serve an internship in an industrial or government laboratory; f) present research in the annual Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing Conference. Support for 9 predoctoral trainees is requested. Trainees enter the program in their second year of graduate school, and may be renewed for up to three years of support. The Training Program is administered by the Program Director (Daniel M. Quinn), with staff assistance from the Center for Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing (CBB) and the advice of the Coordinating Committee. The Coordinating Committee also serves as the Executive Committee of the CBB, thereby insuring close coordination between the Training Program and the state-funded Center. An emphasis of the Training Program is the recruitment and training of a diverse cohort of trainees. This emphasis not only addresses national needs but also provides a more inclusive educational experience for the trainees. Relevance: Participating faculty laboratories provide trainees with a wide range of research opportunities in the biomedical sciences. Among these are investigations of environmentally friendly biocatalytic processes for chemical transformations, development of new antibiotics and Alzheimer's disease agents, biosensor development, and new approaches to gene delivery.

描述（由申请人提供）： 项目摘要：本申请要求继续支持 1990 年首次资助的生物技术博士前培训计划。参与的 28 名教员来自 8 个系和 4 个学院：化学、生物科学（文学院）艺术与科学）；生物化学、微生物学、药理学（医学院）；土木与环境工程、化学与生化工程（工学院）；药物和天然产物化学（药学院）。这种多元化的教师队伍为学员提供了获得博士学位的学科背景。各自部门的学位。以下所需的活动提供适合生物技术导向职业的跨学科背景：a）生物技术三个核心领域（生物催化、生物反应器和生物分离、分子生物学和遗传学）中每个领域至少一门课程； b) 参加跨学科研讨会“生物催化展望”； c) 参与生物催化研讨会计划； d) 参加题为“负责任的研究行为”的课程； e) 在工业或政府实验室实习； f) 在年度生物催化和生物加工会议上展示研究成果。请求支持 9 名博士前培训生。学员在研究生院第二年进入该计划，并可续签长达三年的支持。培训计划由计划主任 (Daniel M. Quinn) 管理，并得到生物催化和生物加工中心 (CBB) 的工作人员协助以及协调委员会的建议。协调委员会还担任 CBB 的执行委员会，从而确保培训项目与国家资助中心之间的密切协调。培训计划的重点是招募和培训多元化的学员。这一重点不仅满足了国家需求，还为学员提供了更具包容性的教育体验。 相关性：参与的教师实验室为学员提供了广泛的生物医学研究机会。其中包括对环境友好的化学转化生物催化过程的研究、新型抗生素和阿尔茨海默病药物的开发、生物传感器的开发以及基因传递的新方法。
