项目摘要

ABSTRACTThis REU Site program at San Jose State University, called Research by Undergraduates using Molecular Biology Applications (RUMBA), will focus its efforts on increasing the number of underrepresented minority students doing biological research in the Silicon Valley. Eight undergraduate students will be recruited to participate in a ten-week summer research program on molecular biology applications in research. Faculty with expertise in genetics, molecular evolution, molecular environmental microbiology, cell & molecular biology, and forensics will mentor students. In addition to a research experience, students participate in various activities including: (1) molecular biology techniques training, (2) a bi-weekly formal group research meeting, (3) an ethics seminar, (4) a culminating research symposium, and (5) presentation of posters at the SACNAS (Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science) National Conference. Students will be recruited from San Jose State University and other undergraduate institutions with high enrollment of underrepresented minority students (African American, Latino, Native American, Alaska Natives and Pacific Islander). San Jose State University (SJSU), the oldest public university in the state of California, is located in downtown San Jose and in the heart of Silicon Valley. SJSU's Biological Sciences Department occupies a central role in the training of biotechnology professionals in Silicon Valley. Students interested in participating in RUMBA should contact Dr. Julio G. Soto, Associate Professor, Biological Sciences Department, jsoto3@email.sjsu.edu. Application forms and deadlines can be found on our web site: http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/Biology/RUMBA/RUMBA.html.

摘要圣何塞州立大学的REU网站项目，称为使用分子生物学应用的本科生研究（RUMBA），将集中精力增加在硅谷从事生物研究的少数民族学生的数量。八名本科生将被招募参加为期十周的夏季研究计划的分子生物学应用研究。具有遗传学，分子进化，分子环境微生物学，细胞分子生物学和法医学专业知识的教师将指导学生。除了研究经验，学生参加各种活动，包括：（1）分子生物学技术培训，（2）一个双周正式小组研究会议，（3）伦理研讨会，（4）一个最终的研究研讨会，和（5）在SACNAS（科学促进奇卡诺人和美洲原住民社会）全国会议上展示海报。学生将从圣何塞州立大学和其他本科院校招收，这些院校招收的少数民族学生人数偏少（非洲裔美国人、拉丁裔、美洲土著人、阿拉斯加土著人和太平洋岛民）。圣何塞州立大学（SJSU）是加州最古老的公立大学，位于圣何塞市中心和硅谷的中心。 SJSU的生物科学系在硅谷生物技术专业人员的培训中发挥着核心作用。有兴趣参加RUMBA的学生请联系Julio G. Soto，副教授，生物科学系，jsoto3@email.sjsu.edu。申请表格和截止日期可以在我们的网站上找到：http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/Biology/RUMBA/RUMBA.html。
