Predoctoral Program in Cellular, Molecular, and Quantitative Biology
The CMQB Training Program (CMQBTP) supports 30 predoctoral students per year from the Departments of Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry, Genetics, Cell Biology and Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology at Yale University and at the Yale School of Medicine. The direct goal of the program, which engages trainers from all four departments, is to facilitate the students’ progress through finishing their courses, rotations, Qualifying Exams, the early phases of their thesis work, and in planning for their future careers. We also help our students begin to develop important career skills in oral scientific communication and in critical thinking. We accomplish this through CMQBTP-specific activities: CMQBTP Research-in-Progress Talks, Sponsored Career Workshop Speakers, supporting the Biomedical Career Fair, the CMQBTP Symposium, and support for travel and education-related expenses. Students continue to remain associated with the CMQBTP even after they are no longer supported by the training grant, benefiting from the networking and educational opportunities that we offer such as the annual student-run CMQBTP symposium and various Career Workshops. We measure our students’ success by the generation of a novel and rigorous thesis dissertation based on original research performed by the student, the publication of this research in well-regarded peer-reviewed journals, and exemplary post-graduation achievements in science related fields, whether in academia, government, or the private sector. We focus on encouraging our students to find the right career choice for them.
