EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. This renewal application requests continued support to train Ph.D. students in the multidisciplinary Cell and Molecular Biology Programs within the Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences (the 'Division') at Washington University. The multidisciplinary training provided to students by the Cell and Molecular Biology Programs is of central importance to the development of biology and medicine in the post-genome era. A unique feature of the Cell and Molecular Biology Programs is their administration by the Division, which was established more than 25 years ago with its own endowment in recognition of the increasingly interrelated nature of all aspects of biological and biomedical research, and of the desire to facilitate cooperation among faculty in the interdisciplinary training of prospective biological scientists. As a result of the Divisional structure, all predoctoral programs and degree-granting units in the biological sciences at this institution are both interdisciplinary and interdepartmental. Continued support of this training grant is proposed to be used for two main purposes: 1) to promote the professional growth of students in the fields of cell and molecular biology, an interdisciplinary area of rapidly growing importance and productivity; and 2) to foster interactions among the faculty as a means of providing new research directions and training opportunities for students.
