REU SITE: Program in Molecular Biosciences

科罗拉多州立大学的分子生物科学夏季REU网站是一个为期10周的计划，使本科生接触到构成生物化学和分子生物学现代学科的广泛研究领域和方法。该计划从阵亡将士纪念日后的星期二开始，到八月的第一周结束。十二名学生将被选中与来自五个部门的导师一起工作。学生参与自己的研究项目，学习如何制定和检验假设，设计和执行实验，在假设的背景下分析结果，并使用最先进的技术和仪器。与教师，研究生，博士后研究员和专业研究人员的互动提供了一个了解生物化学和分子生物学最新进展的机制。学生可获得助学金、大学宿舍或公寓楼的免费住房、膳食津贴和往返学校的交通津贴。在课程结束时，学生口头和通过海报展示他们的研究成果，并以手稿形式制作最终报告。除了研究，学生们还从事社会活动，如白色水漂流和在落基山国家公园徒步旅行。还计划到附近的政府实验室和生物技术公司进行实地考察，并举办关于GRE准备和科学职业的研讨会。特别鼓励研究机会有限的学生和来自科学代表性不足的群体的学生申请。欲了解更多信息，学生可访问http：//www.bmb.colostate.edu/reu.cfm，或联系Marti Stokes，电话970-491-5602或Marti. colostate.edu或reubiochem@colostate.edu或Paul Laybourn，电话970-491-5100或Paul.

The Molecular Biosciences Summer REU Site at Colorado State University is a 10-week program that exposes undergraduates to the broad range of research areas and approaches that constitute the modern discipline of biochemistry and molecular biology. The program begins the Tuesday after Memorial Day and ends in the first week of August. Twelve students will be selected to work with mentors from five departments. Students are involved in their own research project where they learn how to formulate and test hypotheses, design and execute experiments, analyze results in the context of the hypothesis, and use state-of-the-art techniques and instrumentation. Interactions with faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professional research staff provide a mechanism for learning about the latest advances in biochemistry and molecular biology. Students receive a stipend, free housing in a university residence hall or apartment building, a meal allowance, and an allowance to defray travel to/from the site. At the end of the program, students present their research results orally and through a poster, and produce a final report in manuscript form. In addition to research, students are engaged in social activities such as white water rafting and hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. Field trips to nearby government labs and biotech companies as well as workshops on GRE preparation and scientific careers are also planned. Students with limited opportunities for research and those from groups under-represented in science are especially encouraged to apply.
