Cellular engineering is a field with enormous potential to make truly significant contributions to mankind in both medical and non-medical fields over the next decades. The next generation of therapeutics (following recombinant proteins and peptides) will likely utilize cells and tissues. Many new technologies in fields such as environmental engineering and chemical production will also be based on advances in cellular engineering. This exciting, interdisciplinary field, where Rice University offers great depth of research opportunities and expertise, will provide undergraduate students with exciting and impacting research experiences. Under this REU program, ten undergraduate will be selected each summer to work on any of a number of projects under the mentorship of faculty. Students will be recruited nationwide, with particular emphasis on recruiting women and under-represented minorities. The students will participate in cutting-edge research and professional development activities for 10 weeks each summer.

细胞工程是一个具有巨大潜力的领域，在未来几十年内将在医学和非医学领域为人类做出真正重大的贡献。下一代的治疗方法（继重组蛋白和肽之后）将可能利用细胞和组织。环境工程和化学生产等领域的许多新技术也将基于细胞工程的进展。 这个令人兴奋的跨学科领域，莱斯大学提供了深入的研究机会和专业知识，将为本科生提供令人兴奋和有影响力的研究经验。根据这个REU计划，每年夏天将选出10名本科生，在教师的指导下从事任何一个项目。 学生将在全国范围内招募，特别强调招募妇女和代表性不足的少数民族。 学生将参加尖端的研究和专业发展活动，每年夏天10周。更多信息可在http：//cohesion.rice.edu/CentersAndInst/IBB2/emplibrary/IBB2007SummerInternshipWebsite.pdf上获得，或联系Jennifer West博士（主要研究者）或Kimberly M 'Carver（项目协调员），电话713-348-6034或[e-mail]。
