The Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Texas A&M University is sponsoring a NSF-funded REU Site for undergraduate research in biochemistry. The major goals of this program are to prepare students to pursue graduate training and careers in research and to instill in those students an appreciation of the effort and satisfaction involved in this pursuit. Students will be trained in a diverse array of modern biochemical methods in a vibrant department, and will develop effective oral and written communication skills to describe scientific projects. Students will be selected to participate in a 10-week summer program that will coincide with the summer session at the university (typically from the end of May until early August). Although not strictly limited to this geographical area, recruiting efforts are focused on students who have completed their junior or sophomore year at colleges and universities in Texas and mid-Southern states, particularly those from institutions that do not offer doctoral degrees. Applications from students in underrepresented minority groups are particularly encouraged. Undergraduate participants will perform cutting-edge research in biochemistry while integrated into pre-existing laboratory groups of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, undergraduate students and technicians. At the conclusion of the program the students will present their research accomplishments in both written and oral reports.

德克萨斯A M大学生物化学和生物物理系正在赞助一个NSF资助的REU网站，用于生物化学的本科生研究。 该计划的主要目标是让学生为研究生培训和研究职业做好准备，并向这些学生灌输对这种追求所涉及的努力和满意度的赞赏。 学生将在一个充满活力的部门接受各种现代生物化学方法的培训，并将培养有效的口头和书面沟通技巧来描述科学项目。 学生将被选中参加为期10周的暑期课程，该课程将与大学的夏季课程相吻合（通常从5月底到8月初）。 虽然不严格限制在这个地理区域，但招聘工作的重点是在德克萨斯州和中南部各州的学院和大学完成大三或大二的学生，特别是那些不提供博士学位的机构的学生。 特别鼓励代表性不足的少数群体的学生提出申请。 本科生参与者将进行生物化学的前沿研究，同时融入研究生，博士后研究员，本科生和技术人员的现有实验室小组。 在课程结束时，学生将以书面和口头报告的形式展示他们的研究成果。更多信息请访问http://biochemistry.tamu.edu/? ch=reu sec=reu，或通过[e-mail]联系加里昆克尔或通过[e-mail]联系玛丽布赖克。
