REU Site: Undergraduate Research Program in Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformtics

佛罗里达农工大学设立了本科生研究体验(REU)网站奖，在2012-2015年的暑假期间，将为8名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。本课程的重点是使用基因组学、蛋白质组学和生物信息学中的基本工具来解决重要的生物学问题。来自生物、农业科学和化学学科的多学科教师团队将担任导师。REU的学生将进行全日制的实验室研究，并参加有关负责任地进行研究、专业发展、职业机会和研究生院申请过程等主题的研讨会和研讨会。该项目还包括参观佛罗里达大学的核心设施和其他设施，以扩大学生对尖端仪器和技术的接触。例如，植物基因工程以提高对非生物和生物逆境的抗性，分子和细胞研究以了解植物对病原体攻击的防御机制，利用蛋白质组学来阐明蛋白质功能，研究植物发育中的基因表达等。招生将使用“硬拷贝”以及基于数字的广告。学生将根据他们的学术成绩、教师推荐和研究兴趣进行选择。学生将被跟踪，以确定他们在学习领域的持续兴趣，他们的职业道路，以及研究经验的持久影响。该计划将使用www.bioreu.org上的REU通用评估工具进行评估。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.famu.edu/index.cfm?REU，，或联系国际和平组织的弗吉尼亚·戈特沙尔克博士(Virginia.Gottschalk@Famu.edu)或联合国际组织拉梅什·卡塔姆博士(Ramesh.katam@gmail.com，850-559-3134)。

A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to Florida A&M University that will provide research training for 8 students for 10 weeks, during the summers of 2012-2015. This program focuses on the use of basic tools in genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics to address important biological questions. A multidisciplinary team of faculty from the disciplines of biology, agricultural sciences, and chemistry will serve as mentors. REU students will conduct full time lab research, as well as participate in seminars and workshops on topics like the responsible conduct of research, professional development, career opportunities, and the graduate school application process. The program also includes visits to the University of Florida core facility and others to broaden student's exposure to cutting-edge instrumentation and techniques. Example projects include the genetic engineering of plants to impart resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses, the molecular and cellular studies to understand plant defense mechanism against attack by pathogens, using proteomics to elucidate protein functions, the study of gene expression in plant development, and others. Recruitment of students will utilize "hard copy" as well as digital-based advertising. Students will be selected based on their academic record, faculty recommendations, and research interest. Students will be tracked to determine their continued interest in their area of study, their career paths, and the lasting influence of the research experience. The program will be evaluated using the REU common assessment tool found at www.bioreu.org.
