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

密苏里-哥伦比亚大学（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为期9周的研究计划，在细胞，分子和遗传方法来解决生物学问题。来自合作机构的本科生，包括阿肯色大学-派恩海崖，巴里大学（佛罗里达州），佛罗里达A M大学，格林内尔学院（IA），杰克逊州立大学（MS），梅加埃弗斯学院（NY），密苏里州州立大学，Prairie View AM University（德克萨斯州）、College of St. Elizabeth（新泽西州）、Truman State University（MO）和Xavier University（LA）将被招募加入该计划。该计划旨在激发研究生学习的兴趣。教师导师的研究计划使用的方法从重组DNA技术和分子细胞学，复杂的群体遗传学。研究经验是夏季计划的核心。参与者还通过棕色袋午餐，实验室小组会议，并在计划结束后夏季本科生研究科学研讨会和海报会议发展沟通技巧。学生们参与的活动，如研讨会，小组讨论准备研究生院和职业选择，以及科学伦理讲习班。强烈鼓励学生在区域和国家科学会议上介绍他们的研究。欲了解更多信息，请访问http：//lsurop.missouri.edu/summer/nsf-reuBiologyBiochemistry.htm，或联系琳达·布洛克斯博士（573-882-5979; blockusl@missouri.edu）或项目主任约翰·大卫博士（davidj@missouri.edu; 573-882-0120）。

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.
