Summer Research in Cell and Molecular Biology for Undergraduates

9322211华莱士该奖项用于在巴克内尔大学建立本科生研究经验网站。10名本科生，5名来自巴克内尔大学，5名来自全国各地的学校，将与巴克内尔大学的不同教师一起花10周时间研究细胞和分子生物学。研究项目包括癌症研究、植物分子生物学、果蝇分子遗传学、免疫学和睾丸细胞生物学。除了完成他们的个人项目，学生们还将(1)参加一个定期的期刊俱乐部，(2)参加两个由参与的教师主持的关于现代分子技术的演示/研讨会，(3)参加宾夕法尼亚州立大学的分子生物学夏季研讨会，(4)在夏季结束时参加一个小型研讨会，在那里他们将展示和讨论他们的工作。希望将详细的个人研究工作与期刊俱乐部、研讨会和宾夕法尼亚州立大学研讨会提供的更广泛的视角相结合，将使学生全面接触研究环境。* * *

9322211 Wallace This award provides to establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site at Bucknell University. Ten undergraduate students, five from Bucknell and five recruited from schools around the country will spend ten weeks doing research in cell and molecular biology with various faculty at Bucknell. Research projects include topics in cancer research, plant molecular biology, Drosophila molecular genetics, immunology, and cell biology of the testis. In addition to the work on their individual projects, the students will (1) participate in a regular journal club, (2) attend two demonstrations/workshops (put on by participating faculty) devoted to modern molecular techniques, (3) attend the Summer Symposium in Molecular Biology at Penn State University, and (4) participate in a minisymposium at the end of the summer where they will present and discuss their work. It is hoped that the combination of the detailed individual research work with the broader perspectives given by the journal club, workshops, and Penn State Symposium, will give the students a thorough exposure to a research environment. ***
