IRES: US-India Collaborative Research in Complex Natural Product Synthesis with Bio, Nano, and Green Applications at the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad.

1065543 Hephzibah Kumpaty这一IRES奖题为美国-印度合作研究复杂的天然产物合成与生物，纳米，和绿色应用在印度化学技术研究所（IICT），海得拉巴支持国际研究经验，美国本科科学学生从威斯康星州白水大学（UWW）。 在三年的时间里，每年将有四名学生被派往印度理工学院，与印度首屈一指的化学科学和技术研究中心的科学家导师进行为期六周的合作研究。 USPI合成化学家赫菲齐巴·库帕蒂和生物化学家和环境生物学家凯瑟琳·陈博士将与IICT主任L.S. Yadav和几位同事是合成化学和化学生物学的领导者。 PI将为UWW学生进行为期一个学期的研究培训计划，然后再参加印度的国际研究经验。 这个IRES项目的优势是UWW学生将获得在生物，纳米和化学合成的绿色应用方面的前沿研究的实践经验。 他们还将学习跨学科和创业的方法，研究和教育，通过现场访问Avra实验室，细胞和分子生物学中心，和Evolva生物技术印度，所有这些都位于海得拉巴。 此外，这个机会将有助于提高批判性思维，数据分析，跨文化适应性，全球能力，以及在演示和沟通技能。 返回美国后，IRES学生将在适当的期刊和会议上展示他们的研究。 从长远来看，这种独特的经验可能会激励IRES学生接受高等教育，并考虑从事科学研究。

1065543Hephzibah Kumpaty This IRES award entitled US-India Collaborative Research in Complex Natural Product Synthesis with Bio, Nano, and Green Applications at the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Hyderabad supports international research experiences for US undergraduate science students from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater (UWW). For each of three years, four students will be sent to the IICT for six weeks to conduct collaborative research with scientist-mentors at India's premier research center for the chemical sciences and technologies. USPI Hephzibah Kumpaty, a synthetic chemist and Dr. Catherine Chan, a biochemist and environmental biologist, will partner with IICT Director L.S. Yadav and several colleagues that are leaders in synthetic chemistry and chemical biology. The PI will conduct a semester-long research training program for the UWW students prior to participation in the international research experience in India. The strength of this IRES project is that UWW students will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge research in bio, nano, and green applications of chemical syntheses. They will also learn interdisciplinary and entrepreneurial approaches to research and education through site visits to Avra Laboratories, the Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology, and Evolva Biotech India, all of which are located in Hyderabad. Additionally, this opportunity will facilitate improved skills in critical thinking, data analysis, intercultural adaptability, global competence, and in presentation and communication. Upon return to the U.S. IRES students will present their research in appropriate journals and at conferences. In the long-term, this unique experience is likely to motivate the IRES students to pursue higher education and to consider careers in scientific research.
