REU Site: CSHL NSF-REU Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Summer Undergraduate Program

冷泉港实验室（CSHL）获得了本科生研究经验（REU）站点奖，该实验室将在2012- 2014年夏季为8名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。该计划培训参与者对当前和日益增长的需要，将生物研究与复杂的计算工具和技术相结合。CSHL拥有40多名教职员工，其中包括新成立的定量生物系的成员，他们将在从植物生物学到生物机器学习等领域担任生物信息学和计算生物学的导师。通过NSF-REU的支持，学生有机会根据共同的兴趣和目标在适当匹配的实验室进行全职研究。CSHL REU参与者可以使用个人和共享的实验室设备，如流式细胞仪、高通量测序和分析、成像和蛋白质组学设备。参与者参加多个研讨会和讲习班，如研究中的负责任行为、专业沟通技巧、研究生院申请程序和科学职业介绍。REU的参与者也被邀请参加CSHL的暑期课程或会议，其中涵盖了一系列的主题，如计算神经科学和单细胞分析。所有学生都住在校园内，步行即可到达他们的实验室和CSHL食堂，他们在那里接受大部分的膳食。多层次的招聘工作包括向潜在的学生和他们的教授发送传统和数字邮件，以及对全国各地大学的招聘访问。学生的选择是基于学习成绩、学习计划的动机和未来研究人员的潜力。校友的成功受到监控，以确定他们对自己的学术研究领域的持续兴趣，他们的职业道路，以及他们的研究经历的长期影响。有关该计划的信息将通过教师和学生评估以及使用REU通用评估工具进行评估。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.cshl.edu/education/urp/nsf-sponsored-reu-in-bioinformatics-and-computational-biology，或联系PI （Zachary Lippman博士lippman@cshl.edu）或副PI （Doreen Ware博士ware@cshl.edu）。

A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) that will provide research training for 8 students, for 10 weeks during the summers of 2012- 2014. The program trains participants on the present and growing need to integrate biological research with sophisticated computational tools and techniques. CSHL has over 40 faculty members, including members of a newly established Quantitative Biology Department, who will serve as bioinformatics and computational biology mentors in fields ranging from plant biology to machine learning for biology. Through this NSF-REU support, students are afforded the opportunity to conduct full-time research in an appropriately matched lab based on mutual interests and goals. CSHL REU participants have access to individual and shared laboratory facilities such as flow cytometry, high throughput sequencing and analysis, imaging, and proteomics facilities. Participants attend multiple seminars and workshops, such as the responsible conduct in research, professional communication skills, the graduate school application process, and introduction to science careers. REU participants also are invited to attend the CSHL summer courses or meetings, which cover a range of topics such as Computational Neuroscience and Single Cell Analysis. All students are housed on campus within walking distance of their laboratories and the CSHL cafeteria, where they receive the majority of their meals. The multilayer recruitment effort consists of both traditional and digital mailings to potential students and their professors, as well as recruitment visits to universities throughout the country. Students are selected based on academic record, motivation for the proposed program of study, and potential as future researchers. Alumni successes are monitored to determine their continued interest in their academic field of study, their career paths, and the long-term impact of their research experience. Information about the program will be assessed using faculty and student evaluations, as well as the use of an REU common assessment tool.
