DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant requests support for a new Ph.D. training program in systems biology. Our goal is to train a new wave of systems biology faculty who have even broader interdisciplinary research expertise than the first generation of systems biologists. Systems biology is a nascent field with potential for major impact on drug discovery, the development of personalized medicine, and for helping us understand the molecular bases of complex diseases. It also promises to provide an approach to a deeper understanding of fundamental biological processes, such as differentiation, homeostasis, and evolution. It requires integration of concepts from many disciplines, including medicine, biology, computer science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering. The Program Faculty represents an energetic and committed multidisciplinary team, with extensive teaching and training experience, that takes seriously the challenge of forging a new discipline. Our Program attracts a diverse student group with varied skills and interests; our training approach is therefore a flexible one, including new interdisciplinary courses, course requirements that are tailored to the needs of the individual, and support for dissertation projects that involve collaboration across two or more labs. Our program aims to educate trainees in the current state of the art in systems biology, and to encourage them to reach higher, expanding the usefulness of theoretical and quantitative approaches in biology and medicine.

描述（由申请人提供）：该赠款请求支持新博士学位。系统生物学培训计划。我们的目标是训练与第一代生物学家相比，具有更广泛的跨学科研究专业知识的新型系统生物学教师。 Systems Biology是一个新生的领域，具有对药物发现的重大影响，个性化医学的发展以及帮助我​​们了解复杂疾病的分子基础的潜力。它还有望提供一种对基本生物学过程（例如分化，稳态和进化等基本生物学过程）的更深入理解的方法。它需要整合许多学科的概念，包括医学，生物学，计算机科学，数学，物理，化学和工程。该计划的教师代表了一个充满活力且坚定的多学科团队，具有丰富的教学和培训经验，这是锻炼新学科的挑战。我们的计划吸引了一个具有不同技能和兴趣的多元化学生团体；因此，我们的培训方法是一种灵活的方法，包括新的跨学科课程，根据个人需求量身定制的课程要求以及对涉及两个或多个实验室协作的论文项目的支持。我们的计划旨在教育受训者在系统生物学中的当前最新技术，并鼓励他们达到更高的范围，从而扩大理论和定量方法在生物学和医学中的有用性。
