DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas requests continued support of a predoctoral Molecular Biophysics Training Program (MBTP). This program selects trainees from within the Graduate Program in Molecular Biophysics (GPMB), one of the ten basic science Ph.D. programs at UT Southwestern. The MBTP is composed of 34 faculty mentors drawn chiefly from six basic science departments and three research centers, including the Departments of Biophysics, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Physiology, Cell Biology and Neuroscience. As such, this group assembles a very broad of expertise in experimental and computational research methods, providing an excellent basis to train students in the application of these techniques to quantitatively probe biological phenomena at the molecular, cellular and network scales. Accordingly, our trainees come from to UT Southwestern from a range of physical and biological undergraduate programs, averaging approximately 9 trainees per year. These students receive didactic education that integrates a broad introduction to central problems in modern biomedicine (first-year Core Course) with advanced courses that cover the mathematical, theoretical and practical aspects of biophysics. These are complemented by research rotations and small group discussions of the scientific literature and practice. Highlights of our current training plan include regular opportunities for ur students to 1) present their research in seminars and an annual research symposium; 2) invite and directly interact with leaders in the field of biophysics via the unique Molecular Biophysics Discussion Group; 3) conduct focused research training, facilitated by access to world- class laboratories and shared equipment resources. The highly collaborative environment at UT Southwestern ensures that students are exposed to many different biophysical research areas, but also share and integrate their findings with colleagues in biochemistry, cell biology and other fields. Now in its 25th year, this training program continues to innovate by adding new faculty, courses and activities with complementary interests and expertise; implementing new methods to recruit an increasingly diverse pool of students; developing curricula and training mechanisms that provide our trainees with a modern and solid foundation for future excellence in academic and industrial biomedical research, all within a training period of reasonable length. Support is requested for five predoctoral students for up to three years during the Ph.D. dissertation research portions of their training.

描述（由申请人提供）：达拉斯的UT西南医学中心要求继续支持一项分子生物物理学培训计划（MBTP）。该计划从分子生物物理学（GPMB）的研究生计划中选择受训者，这是十个基础科学博士学位之一。 UT西南的计划。 MBTP由34位教师导师组成，主要来自六个基础科学部门和三个研究中心，包括生物物理学，生物化学，药理学，生理学，细胞生物学和神经科学系。因此，该组在实验和计算研究方法方面汇集了非常广泛的专业知识，为培训学生在分子，细胞和网络量表上定量探测生物学现象的应用提供了极好的基础。因此，我们的学员从一系列的物理和生物本科课程中来到UT西南，平均每年约9名受训者。这些学生接受了教育教育，该教育将现代生物医学（第一年核心课程）的主要问题与涵盖生物物理学的数学，理论和实践方面的高级课程结合在一起。这些旋转和小组讨论的科学文献和实践的讨论可以补充。我们当前的培训计划的重点包括为UR学生提供定期机会，以介绍他们在研讨会和年度研究研讨会上的研究； 2）通过独特的分子生物物理学讨论组邀请并直接与生物物理学领域的领导者相互作用； 3）通过获得世界一流的实验室和共享设备资源来促进的集中研究培训。 UT Southwestern的高度协作环境可确保学生接触许多不同的生物物理研究领域 字段。现在已经是第25年了，该培训计划继续通过添加新的教师，课程和活动，具有互补的兴趣和专业知识；实施新方法来招募越来越多样化的学生群；开发课程和培训机制，为学员为学术和工业生物医学研究的未来卓越提供现代而坚实的基础，均在合理的培训期内。在博士学位期间，要求五个长达三年的学生提供支持。论文研究部分的培训部分。
