REU Site: Summer Undergraduate Research Program in Biomolecular Sciences

威斯康星大学拉克罗斯分校（UW-L）生物分子科学研究所（IBiS）将招收10名学生参加为期10周的REU项目。特别鼓励目前就读于科学专业未被充分代表的群体、小型学院或两年制学院的大二或大三学生申请。IBiS REU的一个显著特征将是有机会与教师并肩工作，他们不仅运行充满活力的研究项目，而且还致力于卓越的本科教学。学生将成为威斯康星大学洛杉矶分校IBiS项目的一部分，该项目将生物系、化学系和微生物系的教师和学生联合起来。学生将有机会学习和应用许多领域的方法，包括生物化学、生物信息学、细胞生物学、经典和分子遗传学、高级显微镜、分子建模和合成有机化学。学生将与他们的导师合作开发和开展一个独立的研究项目。除了沉浸在实验室研究之外，学生还将参加每周的实践研讨会，旨在培养他们作为科学家的能力。在这些研讨会中，学生将探讨研究伦理问题，提高数据分析和展示的技能，学习如何阅读原始文献，并培养科学交流的技能，包括写作、口头报告和海报展示。其他课程将侧重于选择和获得研究生院和生物分子科学职业的录取。参与者将获得津贴、校园住宿和校园膳食计划。UW-L在七河地区的美丽环境将提供充足的机会，通过社会活动建立同志情谊。欲了解更多信息，请联系大卫·霍华德博士，608-785-6455,howard.davi@uwlax.edu或安妮·加尔布雷斯博士，608-785-8246,galbrait.anne@uwlax.edu；或访问http://www.uwlax.edu/ibisreu/。

ABSTRACTThe Institute for Biomolecular Sciences (IBiS) at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UW-L) will host 10 students in a 10-week REU program. Students who are currently sophomores or juniors from groups underrepresented in science or from small colleges or two-year colleges are particularly encouraged to apply. A distinctive feature of the IBiS REU will be the opportunity to work side-by-side with faculty who not only run vibrant research programs but are also committed to excellence in undergraduate teaching. Students will become part of UW-L's IBiS program which unites faculty and students from the departments of Biology, Chemistry and Microbiology. Students will have opportunities to learn and apply approaches in many fields including biochemistry, bioinformatics, cell biology, classical and molecular genetics, advanced microscopy, molecular modeling, and synthetic organic chemistry. Students will develop and conduct an independent research project in collaboration with their faculty mentor. In addition to this immersion in lab research, students will participate in weekly hands-on workshops designed to develop their abilities as a scientist. In these workshops, students will explore issues in research ethics, improve skills in data analysis and presentation, learn how to read primary literature, and develop skills in scientific communication including writing, oral presentations, and poster presentations. Other sessions will focus on choosing and gaining admission to graduate school and careers in biomolecular science. Participants will receive a stipend, campus housing, and a campus meal plan. The beautiful setting of UW-L in the 7 Rivers Region will provide ample opportunities to build camaraderie through social events.
