REU Site: Cellular, Molecular and Genetic Approaches to Biological Problems

密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校(MU)REU网站将在2009-2012年夏季为本科生提供一个项目。八名学生将被选中参加一个为期9周的细胞、分子和遗传方法来解决生物问题的研究项目。来自伙伴机构的本科生，包括大学。阿肯色州巴里大学派恩布拉夫分校(FL)，佛罗里达农工大学，格林内尔学院(IA)，杰克逊州立大学。密苏里州州立大学麦加·埃弗斯学院(密苏里州州立大学)，草原景观农工大学。(TX)，杜鲁门州立大学圣伊丽莎白学院(新泽西州)。(Mo)和泽维尔大学。(LA)，将被招募到该计划中。该项目旨在激发人们对研究生学习的兴趣。教师导师的研究项目使用了从重组DNA技术和分子细胞学到复杂的群体遗传学的各种方法。研究体验是暑期项目的核心。参与者还可以通过午餐、实验室小组会议和项目结束后的本科生研究科学研讨会和海报会议来培养沟通技能。学生们参加各种活动，如研讨会、关于研究生入学准备和职业选择的小组讨论，以及科学伦理研讨会。强烈鼓励学生在区域和国家科学会议上展示他们的研究成果。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://lsurop.missouri.edu/summerOther/nsf-reuBiologyBiochemistry.htm，，或联系琳达·布洛克博士或项目主管约翰·大卫博士。

The University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) REU Site will provide a program for undergraduates during the summers of 2009-2012. Eight students will be selected to participate in a 9-week research program in cellular, molecular and genetic approaches to biological problems. Undergraduates from partner institutions, including the Univ. of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Barry Univ. (FL), Florida A&M Univ., Grinnell College (IA), Jackson State Univ. (MS), Medgar Evers College (NY), Missouri State Univ., Prairie View A&M Univ. (TX), College of St. Elizabeth (NJ), Truman State Univ. (MO), and Xavier Univ. (LA), will be recruited to the program. The program has been designed to stimulate interest in graduate study. The research programs of faculty mentors use methodologies ranging from recombinant DNA technology and molecular cytology, to sophisticated population genetics. The research experience is the heart of the summer program. Participants also develop communication skills through brown-bag lunches, lab group meetings, and an end-of-program Summer Undergraduate Research Science Symposium and poster session. Students are involved in activities such as seminars, panel discussions on preparation for graduate school and career options, and a science ethics workshop. Students are strongly encouraged to present their research at regional and national scientific meetings.
