DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised Training Program application will provide students with an exceptional opportunity for cross disciplinary education and research training in the component areas of marine biotechnology, including natural products chemistry, biochemistry, genomics, pharmacology, and medicine. Moreover, this training grant will provide collaborative cross-disciplinary research mentorship through training individual students in different laboratories in multiple departments on the UCSD campus as well as the Salk Institute and J. Craig Venter Institute. To accomplish this mission, the TP has the following objectives: (1) to provide new course offerings that create a unique curriculum on the UCSD campus that is the intellectual foundation for research in the multidisciplinary field of Marine Biotechnology (2) to provide a stimulating series of seminars by leaders in the field of Marine Biotechnology, and to develop skills in our trainees through special opportunities to arrange and host these visiting speakers (3) to provide Industrial Internships that broaden the educational base and technology perspective of our graduates (4) to provide opportunities to our trainees that develop their research presentation skills through an annual symposium, participation in various research and journal clubs, and participation at national and international conferences (5) to provide competitively awarded financial support to especially meritorious trainees for a 2-year period in recognition of their superior research efforts and talents. The rationale for this training program is the need to train students for the biotechnology industry as well as for academia with an integrated knowledge of marine systems and their unique chemical, biochemical, and genetic attributes. To our knowledge, this broad training platform is not offered at any other institution in the US, and thus our graduates are sought after to fill a unique need in industry and academia. The training is proposed for 6 predoctoral trainees in the first two years and 8 predoctoral trainees in the latter three years of the renewal period, supplemented by 2 or more university-supported trainees, to support students in their second and third year of their 5-year Ph.D. programs. The assembly of this faculty and research strength under the auspices of the TP in Marine Biotechnology is helping to create a unique, internationally recognized educational and research program at UCSD. RELEVANCE: Marine organisms are an exceptional source of natural products with useful medical properties. Fully accessing these natural products is enhanced by an integrated chemical and genetic approach, which is inherently complex and multidisciplinary. UCSD has a unique assembly of academic and research programs which can train the next generation of scientists in these areas.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项修订的培训计划申请将为学生提供在海洋生物技术组成领域的跨学科教育和研究培训的特殊机会，包括天然产品化学，生物化学，基因组学，药理学和医学。此外，这项培训补助金将通过培训UCSD校园多个部门的不同实验室的个体学生以及Salk Institute和J. Craig Venter Institute，提供合作的跨学科研究指导。 To accomplish this mission, the TP has the following objectives: (1) to provide new course offerings that create a unique curriculum on the UCSD campus that is the intellectual foundation for research in the multidisciplinary field of Marine Biotechnology (2) to provide a stimulating series of seminars by leaders in the field of Marine Biotechnology, and to develop skills in our trainees through special opportunities to arrange and host these visiting speakers (3) to provide扩大毕业生的教育基础和技术观点的工业实习（4）为学员提供机会，通过年度研讨会，参与各种研究和期刊俱乐部以及在国家和国际会议上的参与（5）来发展他们的研究表现技巧，以向竞争性授予竞争力的奖励培训者，以授予他们两年的竞争性培训者，以获得两年的良好研究期间，以认识他们的高级研究工作。该培训计划的基本原理是需要培训学生的生物技术行业以及具有综合知识的海洋系统及其独特化学，生化和遗传属性的学术界。据我们所知，美国的任何其他机构都没有提供这个广泛的培训平台，因此，人们渴望我们的毕业生满足行业和学术界的独特需求。该培训在最初的两年中提出了6名托管前学员的培训，并在续签期的后三年中提出了8名培训，并补充了2名或更多大学支持的学员，以在他们5年博士学位的第二年和第三年中为学生提供支持。程序。在海洋生物技术的TP主持下，这种教师和研究力量的集会有助于在UCSD建立独特的国际认可的教育和研究计划。 相关性：海洋生物是具有有用医疗特性的天然产品的特殊来源。通过集成的化学和遗传方法可以增强这些天然产品，这是固有的复杂且多学科的。 UCSD拥有一个独特的学术和研究计划组装，可以在这些领域培训下一代科学家。
