 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Biophysicists, scientists at the cross-roads of biology, chemistry, physics and math, build the tools needed to understand the molecular basis of biology and disease. They strive to solve the structures of biomolecules of ever higher complexity, synthesize the chemicals that modulate biological reactions, build the instruments and create methods to monitor the effects, and write the code to simulate increasingly complex systems. In the Molecular Biophysics Program at the University of Virginia, exceptional pre-doctoral students will be trained to achieve these tasks with a high-quality interdisciplinary graduate education in modern molecular biophysics and structural biology based on the expertise of a diverse, but interactive group of faculty. This will be accomplished through appropriate coursework, exposure to high quality science through an active journal club, seminar series and retreat, effective mentoring, and, most importantly, high quality research in the labs of training grant mentors. In addition, career development activities will be provided in cooperation with the University of Virginia Office of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs. While we expect that a number of students supported on the training grant will be Ph.D. students in the Biophysics degree Program, the training grant mentors and selection structure have been setup to provide training support for any top student working in the area of molecular biophysics, regardless of Ph.D. granting program. We intend that our students will go into many different fields and types of positions throughout the world to continue building the tools to explore biology and disease. Relevance Scientists with advanced training in Biophysics are needed for laboratories carrying out studies in structural biology, molecular mechanisms, single molecule assays, drug delivery, computational simulations, nanotechnology, biofuels, and so on. The Molecular Biophysics Program at the University of Virginia provides broad interdisciplinary training with emphases on the principles of physics, chemistry and mathematics. These are the scientists who will develop the tools needed to understand the molecular basis of biology and disease.

 描述（由适用提供）：生物物理学家，生物学，化学，物理和数学交叉路的科学家，建立了了解生物学和疾病分子基础所需的工具。他们努力解决更高复杂性的生物分子的结构，合成调节生物反应的化学物质，构建仪器并创建方法来监视效果，并编写代码以模拟日益复杂的系统。在弗吉尼亚大学的分子生物物理学计划中，将培训出色的博士前学生，以基于多样性但互动式的教师的专业知识，培训了现代分子生物物理学和结构生物学的高质量跨学科研究生教育。这将通过适当的课程工作，通过活跃的期刊俱乐部，开创性的系列和务虚会，有效的心理，最重要的是，在培训赠款导师实验室中进行的高质量研究来实现这一目标。此外，将与弗吉尼亚大学研究生研究和博士后事务办公室合作提供职业发展活动。尽管我们预计培训补助金的许多学生将是博士学位。在生物物理学学位课程中，培训赠款导师和选择结构的学生已经设置为为在分子生物物理学领域工作的任何顶级学生提供培训支持，无论博士学位如何。授予计划。我们打算，我们的学生将进入世界各地的许多领域和类型的职位，以继续构建探索生物学和疾病的工具。需要在结构生物学，分子机制，单分子分析，药物输送，计算模拟，纳米技术，生物燃料等方面进行研究的实验室进行生物物理学的高级培训的相关科学家。弗吉尼亚大学的分子生物物理学计划提供了广泛的跨学科培训，重点是物理，化学和数学原理。这些科学家将开发了解生物学和疾病分子基础所需的工具。
