## Abstract

Abstract
The University of Virginia consistently ranks as one of the top public universities
in the nation. One of its strengths is biomedical research where it has a
traditional strength in the areas of cell and molecular biology. For 29 years the
interdisciplinary Cell and Molecular Biology Graduate Program (CMB), whose
faculty derives from 10 degree-granting departments and programs, has been
bringing together the best biomedical graduate students and faculty from around
the campus to generate a training forum that complements the classroom and
laboratory experience. Students join the program in their second year, are
supported by the training grant for two years, and remain associated with the
program until they graduate. The training focuses on the second and third years
of Ph.D. training when students are learning to apply class knowledge towards
independent thinking and practical use of the scientific method. The CMB
program seeks to intensify this transformative period by nurturing the students
through a series of poster sessions, data clubs, mixers, and symposia to expose
the students to outstanding multi-disciplinary science from around the university.
They also learn to present their research and take ownership of their scientific
accomplishments. The success of our trainees shows that the CMB program
prepares them to be leaders of biomedical sciences in both academia and
industry.
