REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Molecular Genetics and Genomics

特拉华州立大学将于2007年夏天开始在分子遗传学和基因组学领域举办本科生研究体验(REU)网站。学生将与来自密歇根州立大学、特拉华技术与社区学院(DTCC)和卫斯理学院的研究导师合作，进行为期9周的多学科暑期研究项目。学生将获得津贴、餐饮、住房和往返实验室的路费。利用来自密歇根州立大学、DTCC、韦斯利学院和特拉华州生物技术研究所(DBI)的教员网络，每年夏天将有10名学生接受最先进的分子生物学和基因组学技术培训。活动将包括实验室技术和生物信息学、伦理学和沟通技能方面的研讨会。促进与学术界、政府和工业界各级研究人员的互动。学生将有机会通过与研究导师的互动来解决特定的研究问题，同时培养独立工作和与同学团队合作的能力。REU项目将以学生研究研讨会结束，REU的学生将在研讨会上展示海报，并向其他学生、教职员工、家人、朋友、高中生和老师展示他们的暑期研究。有兴趣的学生请访问http://cars.desu.edu/faculty/vkalavacharla/REU.html申请REU项目，或联系项目主任Venu(Kal)Kalavacharla博士，电话：302-857-6492，电子邮件：vkalavacharla@desu。或者，请联系该部招聘人员Alexandra Ulrich女士。电话：(302)857-6410或电子邮件：aurich@desuedu。

AbstractDelaware State University (DSU) will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in Molecular Genetics & Genomics beginning summer 2007. Students will work with research mentors from DSU, Delaware Technical & Community College (DTCC) and Wesley College in a 9-week multidisciplinary summer research program. Students will be provided stipends, meals, housing, and funds for travel to and from the lab. Using an established network of faculty from DSU, DTCC, Wesley College and the Delaware Biotechnology Institute (DBI), ten students will be trained each summer in state-of-the-art techniques in molecular biology and genomics. Activities will include workshops in lab techniques and bioinformatics, ethics, and communications skills. Interaction with various levels of researchers in academia, government, and industry will be fostered. Students will get the opportunity to work on specific research problems by interaction with the research mentors, while developing capabilities to work both individually and as part of a team with fellow students. The REU program will conclude with a Student Research Symposium where REU students will present posters, and showcase their summer research to other students, faculty, family, friends, high school students and teachers. Interested students are invited to visit http://cars.desu.edu/faculty/vkalavacharla/REU.html to apply to the REU program, or contact the Project Director, Dr. Venu (Kal) Kalavacharla at 302-857-6492 or vkalavacharla@desu.edu. Alternatively, please contact Ms. Alexandra Ulrich, Recruiter, Dept. of AGNR, at (302) 857-6410 or aulrich@desu.edu.
