The REU Program in Molecular Biosciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill offers undergraduate students the opportunity to carry out mentored research in the areas of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, cellular biophysics, structural biology, computational biology, genetics, genomics and proteomics. Each summer, 10 rising junior or senior undergraduate students come to UNC-CH for a 10-week summer research and professional development experience. Most participants are selected from colleges and universities that lack strong research programs in molecular biosciences, from under-represented minority groups, and from first-generation college students. Students carry out research side-by-side with faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in a highly collaborative environment. Students are full participants in their projects, from planning and executing experiments to presenting their results to their peers. Modern research into processes within living cells is increasingly an interdisciplinary enterprise in which investigators from multiple disciplines collaborate to solve important and complex questions. A weekly journal club helps the students develop analytical skills and is the venue through which interdisciplinary approaches to scientific questions are introduced. REU students are informed of careers and career paths in biomolecular research and teaching, and instructed on how to choose, apply to, and interview for, graduate school. A novel feature of the program is the use of trained graduate student mentors in selected activities. The program ends with a symposium and poster session that celebrates the students' accomplishments.

查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学的REU分子生物科学课程为本科生提供了在生物化学，分子生物学，细胞生物学，细胞生物物理学，结构生物学，计算生物学，遗传学，基因组学和蛋白质组学领域进行指导研究的机会。每年夏天，10名正在上升的大三或大四本科生来到UNC-CH进行为期10周的夏季研究和专业发展体验。 大多数参与者都是从缺乏强大的分子生物科学研究项目的学院和大学，代表性不足的少数群体和第一代大学生中挑选出来的。 学生在高度协作的环境中与教师，研究生和博士后研究员并肩开展研究。 学生是他们项目的全面参与者，从计划和执行实验到向同龄人展示他们的结果。 对活细胞内过程的现代研究越来越成为一项跨学科的事业，来自多个学科的研究人员合作解决重要而复杂的问题。 每周的期刊俱乐部帮助学生发展分析技能，是通过跨学科方法引入科学问题的场所。 REU学生了解生物分子研究和教学的职业和职业道路，并指导如何选择，申请和面试研究生院。 该方案的一个新特点是在选定的活动中使用训练有素的研究生导师。 该计划以庆祝学生成就的研讨会和海报会议结束。 欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.med.unc.edu/pmbb/reu/index.htm或联系[e-mail]。
