PROJECT SUMMARY Tri-Institutional PhD Program in Chemical Biology (TPCB) The Tri-Institutional PhD Program in Chemical Biology (TPCB) is an innovative graduate program that provides students with comprehensive training at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine. TPCB is unique in that it is offered jointly by three premier research institutions with adjacent campuses in the heart of New York City: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, The Rockefeller University, and Weill Cornell Medical College. This stand-alone, direct admission graduate program was established in 2001 as one of the first in the nation to focus specifically on training the next generation of chemical biology researchers. Over the last 19 years, TPCB has established itself as a leading graduate program in chemical biology, with 70 PhD graduates and 43 current students (26 training grant-eligible, TGE). Students come from both chemical and biological backgrounds and the program combines quantitative chemical training with deep insights into forefront problems in biomedical research. Students also come from a wide range of scientific and cultural backgrounds and this diversity is celebrated. The program welcomes students from underrepresented minority groups, those with disabilities, and those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds (currently totaling 35% of TGE) and works with each student individually to ensure they have the resources necessary to thrive. The curriculum includes two chemical biology courses created specifically for TPCB students, additional core and elective courses, a seminar course, lab rotations, student Research-in-Progress seminars, annual student- organized Tri-I Chemical Biology Symposium and TPCB Student Career Development Retreat, and the Sanders Tri-I Chemical Biology Seminar Series. Students receive extensive career development training and formal ongoing instruction in Responsible Conduct of Research and Rigor & Reproducibility. Students have opportunities to conduct PhD thesis research with 54 dedicated faculty mentors working across the spectrum of chemical biology with >$1M average annual funding. Students move seamlessly between the three institutions and have access to the state-of-the-art research facilities and rich scientific environment on all three campuses, providing diverse opportunities to pursue fundamental and translational research and to engage in multidisciplinary collaborations. Importantly, TPCB students are deeply involved in the organization and design of the training experience, and the program has evolved continually in response to student feedback. As a result, TPCB students have been exceptionally productive, publishing over 400 scientific papers (average 5.2 papers/graduate), graduating in an average of 5.5 years. TPCB alumni have continued onto a wide range of successful careers across the tenure track (17%), pharma (12%), biotech (29%), other labs (10%), and research-related careers (31%). TPCB receives strong institutional support but is still unable to admit all of the qualified candidates who apply. Thus, this NIGMS Chemistry–Biology Interface T32 training grant will enable further growth and enhancement of this successful training program and its broader impacts on the community.

项目摘要 化学生物学的三个基础博士学位课程（TPCB） 化学生物学的三个领域博士学位课程（TPCB）是一项创新的研究生课程 在化学，生物学和医学的界面上为学生提供了培训 独特之处在于，这是由三个主要的研究所校园共同提供的 纽约市：纪念斯隆·凯特林癌症中心，洛克菲勒大学和威尔·康奈尔 医学院。 首先，国民专门专门研究培训下一代化学生物学研究人员。 在过去的19年中，TPCB已成为化学生物学领域的领导计划，有70个 博士学位毕业生和43名学生（26名培训资格，TGE）。 和生物背景和该计划结合了定量化学训练和深入 生物医学研究中的最前沿问题也来自广泛的科学和文化 背景和这种多样性是庆祝的。 群体，那些不像的团体以及来自处境不利的社会经济背景的团体（目前总计 占TGE的35％），并与每个学生个人合作，他们可以节省蓬勃发展。 该课程包括专门为TPCB学生创建的两个化学生物学课程，其他核心核心核心核心核心核心核心核心核心核心核心核心核心核心 和电气课程，研讨会课程，实验室轮换，学生研究中的研讨会，年度学生 - 有组织的TRI-I化学生物学研讨会和TPCB学生职业发展务虚会和Thee Sanders Tri-I化学生物学研讨会系列。 学生有。 与54位专门的教师导师在整个范围内工作的机会 化学生物学的平均年度资金超过100万美元。 并可以在这三个三三三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三个三三 校园，提供各种机会来追求基本和翻译并参与 多学科的合作。 培训经验和该计划的进化相互响应，以应对学生的反馈。 结果，TPCB学生的生产力异常出色，发表了400多篇科学论文（平均（平均） 5.2论文/毕业生），平均毕业5。5年。 在整个任期（17％），制药（12％），生物技术（29％）的成功职业中，其他实验室（10％） 与研究有关的职业（31％）。 申请的合格候选人。 这项成功的培训培训计划的进一步增长和增强，这对社区产生了更大的影响。
