项目摘要

It is clear that the next generation of experimental biologists studying cell signaling must be equipped to work productively and in teams with mathematical, computational and physical scientists. It is also clear that current problems in cell signaling represent rich opportunity for the development of entirely new mathematics, statistics and computer science. The STMC Training Core will integrate training in the biomedical sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering in order to produce a new generation of researchers equipped with the biological and computational knowledge to answer critical biological questions in the 21*' century. Through a variety of funding sources the STMC will maintain a cohort of 10-12 graduate students. The Training Core budget will provide stipends to two STMC Fellows per year in the Biomedical Sciences graduate program (BMSGP) or in the graduate programs of the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics, Physics and Astronomy, Computer Science, Chemical and Nuclear Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering. Additional stipends for STMC Fellows will come from the Office of the Vice President for Research and Development and from the CRTC (see letters attached). STMC Fellows may also receive support from the School of Medicine (through the MD/PhD program that recruits 1-2 students per year), the SOE (every student accepted to the two IGERT nanobiology training grants receives two years of NSF support) and the National labs (every student who selects a primary mentor at SNL or LANL is eligible for lab fellowships). Finally, Drs. Oliver, Wilson, D. Lidke, Prossnitz and Edwards are all members of the NIAID-funded Infectious Disease and Inflammation (IDIP) T32 grant, which has a "Bridging Technologies" thrust directed towards STMC students. Senior undergraduates recommended by colleagues in the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Computer Science, Chemical and Nuclear Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering will have access to STMC coursework and seminars. Four of these students will be hired as project assistants ($5,000/academic year) to participate in STMC projects. Additional academic year undergraduate stipends are available from the NIH-funded MARC (Minority Access to Research Careers) and IMSD (Initiative for Minority Student Development) programs, which are coordinated through UNM's PROFOUND (Program of Research Opportunities FOr UNDergraduates) office. Undergrads will have the opportunity for paid summer research experiences at LANL and SNL. Current and recent STMC Project Assistants include Bobur Umarov (CS), Jack Moffitt (Math), Claire Ralph (Biology), Michelle Costa (ChNE) and Joan Goldsworthy (Biochemistry). Medical students will also be encouraged to participate in STMC activities. The Office of Undergraduate Medical Education funds medical student research projects. The Training Core will also support four Postdocs at 50% effort. Mentors will generate matching funds from grants and through successful competition in the Postdoc Match programs of the SOM and CRTC. Finally, the courses, seminars and workshops of the training core will be available to students who are not working directly with STMC mentors. This "open door" policy will create opportunities for all interested students, fellows and faculty from the physical, mathematical and computational sciences to access problems and collaborators in the biological sciences and, conversely, for life sciences researchers to acquire quantitative skills that are sufficiently sophisticated to allow them to work productively and in teams with their mathematical and physical sciences colleagues.

显然，研究细胞信号的下一代实验生物学家必须配备工作具有数学，计算和物理科学家的有效和团队。也很明显当前细胞信号中的问题代表了开发全新数学，统计数据的丰富机会和计算机科学。 STMC培训核心将整合生物医学科学的培训科学，数学和工程学，以生产配备有的新一代研究人员在21*世纪回答关键生物学问题的生物学和计算知识。通过各种资金来源，STMC将维持一组10-12名研究生。培训核心预算将为生物医学研究生计划中的每年两个STMC研究员提供津贴（BMSGP）或数学和统计，物理和物理和物理学部门的研究生课程天文学，计算机科学，化学和核工程以及电气和计算机工程。 STMC研究员的其他津贴将来自研究副总裁办公室，开发和CRTC（请参阅附件）。 STMC研究员也可能会得到医学院（通过每年招募1-2名学生的MD/博士学位课程），SOE（每个学生接受了两种Igert纳米生物学培训补助金获得了两年的NSF支持）和国家实验室（每个在SNL或LANL中选择主要导师的学生都有资格获得实验室奖学金）。最后，博士。 Oliver，Wilson，D。Lidke，Prossnitz和Edwards都是NIAID资助的传染病的成员炎症（IDIP）T32 Grant，该Grant具有针对STMC学生的“桥接技术”。同事在数学和统计部门推荐的高级本科生，物理，化学，生物学，生物化学，计算机科学，化学和核工程以及电气和计算机工程将可以访问STMC课程和研讨会。其中四个学生将被聘为项目助理（5,000美元/学年）参加STMC项目。额外的 NIH资助的MARC提供了学年的本科津贴（少数群体获得研究职业）和IMSD（少数族裔学生发展计划）计划，通过 UNM的深刻（本科生研究机会计划）办公室。本科生将有 Lanl和SNL的夏季研究经历的机会。当前和最近的STMC项目助手包括Bobur Umarov（CS），Jack Moffitt（数学），Claire Ralph（生物学），Michelle Costa（Chne）和琼·戈德沃斯（Joan Goldsworthy）（生物化学）。还将鼓励医学生参加STMC活动。本科医学教育办公室为医学学生研究项目提供资金。训练核心还将以50％的努力支持四个博士后。导师将从通过在SOM和CRTC的博士后比赛中获得赠款，并通过成功的竞争。最后，培训核心的课程，研讨会和讲习班将提供给不的学生直接与STMC导师合作。这项“开门”政策将为所有有兴趣的人创造机会从物理，数学和计算科学中的学生，研究员和教职员工访问问题以及生物科学的合作者，相反，供生命科学研究人员获得定量技能足够复杂，可以使他们有效地工作，并与他们的团队合作数学和物理科学同事。
