The University of Nebraska REU Site will provide a research program for undergraduates during the summers of 2009-2011. Ten students will be selected to participate in a 10-week research experience in redox biology under the guidance of experienced faculty mentors. Redox biology includes oxidation-reduction linked biological reactions, redox signaling and regulation, and cellular defense mechanisms that minimize oxidative damage/stress. The summer program will enable students to explore fundamental redox processes related to biotechnology and the environment. The goal of the training program is to involve undergraduate students in broad-based research and significantly impact their career decisions. REU participants will conduct individual research projects under the guidance of a faculty mentor in the Redox Biology Center. The mentors offer a breadth of multidisciplinary approaches and share a common goal of understanding critical redox-active processes. Students will receive experimental training in a variety of areas including molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, biophysical chemistry, and protein crystallography, and will utilize state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. In addition, students will attend journal club meetings, career development seminars, lunch discussion groups, and social activities. The program will conclude with students presenting their research findings at a poster session. Participant selection will be based on academic achievements, research interests, and career goals. Students at smaller institutions with limited research opportunities and those from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. REU participants receive a stipend, full room and board, and travel assistance.

内布拉斯加大学REU网站将在2009-2011年夏季为本科生提供一个研究项目。10名学生将被选中参加为期10周的氧化还原生物学研究经验的指导下，经验丰富的教师导师。氧化还原生物学包括氧化还原相关的生物反应、氧化还原信号传导和调节以及使氧化损伤/应激最小化的细胞防御机制。暑期课程将使学生探索与生物技术和环境相关的基本氧化还原过程。培训计划的目标是让本科生参与基础广泛的研究，并对他们的职业决策产生重大影响。REU参与者将在Redox生物学中心的教师导师的指导下进行个人研究项目。导师们提供了广泛的多学科方法，并有一个共同的目标，即理解关键的氧化还原活性过程。学生将接受包括分子生物学，微生物学，生物化学，生物物理化学和蛋白质晶体学在内的各种领域的实验培训，并将利用最先进的设备和设施。此外，学生将参加期刊俱乐部会议，职业发展研讨会，午餐讨论小组和社交活动。该计划将与学生在海报会议上展示他们的研究结果结束。参与者的选择将基于学术成就，研究兴趣和职业目标。鼓励研究机会有限的小型机构的学生和代表性不足的群体的学生申请。REU参与者获得津贴，全食宿和旅行援助。更多信息可以在http：//www.unl.edu/RedoxBiologyCenter/summer.shtml上找到，或者通过[e-mail]或402-472-9652联系Donald Becker博士。
