REU Site: Summer Program in the Biochemical Sciences

肯塔基州大学分子和细胞生物化学系生化科学的夏季REU计划是一个为期10周的计划，涉及尖端生物化学研究的本科生。其目标是鼓励学生参与者，主要从阿巴拉契亚和/或代表性不足的少数群体招募，追求生物化学科学的职业生涯。提供各种各样的项目，包括结构生物学，生物物理学，蛋白质组学，蛋白质和核酸化学，膜生物化学和分子生物学的研究。参加者将接受基本实验室技术和安全以及研究的基本知识方面的培训。参与者还将接触到生物化学科学中各种各样的职业选择。在课程结束时，所有参与者将以简短的演讲和海报的形式展示他们的研究。最佳演讲者将获得奖项。强烈鼓励生物学和化学专业的本科生申请，他们很少或根本没有机会参加家乡机构的研究，以及来自生物化学科学代表性不足的群体的学生。所有学生参与者将获得津贴和免费住宿，并将支付合理的旅行费用。更多信息和申请材料可在http：//www.mc.uky.edu/Biochemistry/REU/，或联系博士特雷弗克里默859-323-6037或特雷弗克里默@ uky.edu。

The Summer REU Program in the Biochemical Sciences in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry at the University of Kentucky is a 10-week program that involves undergraduates in cutting edge biochemical research. The goal is to encourage student participants, recruited mainly from Appalachia and/or underrepresented minority groups, to pursue careers in the biochemical sciences. A wide variety of projects are offered, including research in structural biology, biophysics, proteomics, protein and nucleic acid chemistry, membrane biochemistry, and molecular biology. Participants will receive training in basic laboratory techniques and safety, and the nuts and bolts of research. Participants will also be exposed to the wide variety of career options available in the biochemical sciences. At the conclusion of the Program, all participants will present their research as both a short talk and a poster. Awards will be given for the best presentations. Undergraduate students in biology and chemistry who have little or no opportunity to participate in research in their home institutions and students from groups underrepresented in the biochemical sciences are strongly encouraged to apply. All student participants will receive a stipend and free housing, and reasonable travel costs will be covered. More information and application materials are available at http://www.mc.uky.edu/Biochemistry/REU/, or by contacting Dr. Trevor Creamer at 859-323-6037 or Trevor.Creamer@uky.edu.
