 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 adjoining campuses in the heart of New York City: Weill Cornell Medical College, The Rockefeller University, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. 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 14 years, TPCB has established itself as a leading graduate program in chemical biology, with 51 PhD graduates and 32 current students. The program includes students from both chemical and biological undergraduate backgrounds and combines quantitative chemical training with deep insights into forefront problems in biomedical research. The curriculum includes two chemical biology courses created specifically for TPCB students, additional core and elective courses, laboratory rotations, a Tri-Institutional Chemical Biology Seminar Series and journal club, a student Research-in-Progress seminar series, and an annual student-organized Tri-Institutional Chemical Biology Symposium. Students also receive extensive career development training and support as well as formal instruction in the Responsible Conduct of Research. TPCB students have exciting opportunities to conduct PhD thesis research with 46 outstanding faculty working across the spectrum of chemical biology and supported with over $45M in annual research 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 thre campuses, providing diverse opportunities to pursue both fundamental and translational research projects 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 nearly 300 scientific papers at an average of 5.1 per PhD graduate. Our alumni have continued onto successful careers in academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology startups, and government labs. Our students come from a wide range of scientific and cultural backgrounds and this diversity is highly valued. The program welcomes students from underrepresented minority groups, those with disabilities, and those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds and works with each student individually to ensure that they have all of the resources necessary to thrive. TPCB receives strong institutional support but is still unable to admit all of the qualified candidates who apply. Thus, this NIH NIGMS Chemistry-Biology Interface T32 training grant will enable further growth and enhancement of the student training experience in this highly successful program.

 描述（由适用提供）：化学生物学三机构博士学位课程（TPCB）化学生物学三机构博士学位计划（TPCB）是一项创新的研究生计划，可为学生提供化学，生物学和医学界面的全面培训。 TPCB的独特之处在于，它是由三家主要的研究机构共同提供的，该机构与纽约市中心相邻的校园共同提供：Weill Cornell医学院，洛克菲勒大学和纪念Sloan Kettering Cancer Center。这项独立的直接入学研究生计划于2001年成立，是全国第一批专门专门培训下一代化学生物学研究人员的计划之一。在过去的14年中，TPCB已确立了化学生物学领先的研究生课程，拥有51名博士学位毕业生和32名现任学生。该计划包括来自化学和生物学本科背景的学生，并将定量化学训练与生物医学研究中最前沿问题的深入了解相结合。该课程包括两项专门为TPCB学生创建的化学生物学课程，其他核心和选修课程，实验室轮换，三机构化学化学生物学研讨会系列和期刊俱乐部，一个学生研究中的SEMIAR系列以及年度学生组织的三体化学化学化学生物学研讨会。学生还获得了广泛的职业发展培训和支持以及负责任的研究进行正式指导。 TPCB学生有令人兴奋的机会，可以在化学生物学领域工作的46位杰出教师进行博士学位论文研究，并获得了超过4500万美元的年度研究资金。学生在这三个机构之间无缝移动，并可以在所有三个校园中访问最先进的研究设施和丰富的科学环境，从而为潜水员提供了购买基本和翻译的研究项目并进行多学科合作的机会。重要的是，TPCB的学生深入参与了培训经验的组织和设计，该计划已不断发展以应对学生的反馈。结果，TPCB学生的生产力异常出色，每位博士学位毕业生平均发表近300篇科学论文。我们的校友继续从事学术机构，制药公司，生物技术初创公司和政府实验室的成功职业。我们的学生来自广泛的科学和文化背景，这种多样性受到高度重视。该计划欢迎来自代表性不足的少数群体，残疾人以及来自受干扰的社会经济背景的学生，并分别与每个学生合作，以确保他们拥有蓬勃发展所需的所有资源。 TPCB获得了强大的机构支持，但仍无法承认所有申请的合格候选人。那， 这项NIH NIGMS化学生物学界面T32培训赠款将使这项非常成功的计划中的学生培训经验进一步增长和增强。
