A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to The University of Pittsburgh to provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 students, during the summers of 2013-2016. This Training and Experimentation in Computational Biology (TECBio) REU program has the overarching theme of "multiscale modeling, simulation, and systems-level analyses for biological discovery". TECBio students can expect a challenging and fulfilling research experience that will prepare them for a successful career in graduate school. Rising Juniors and Seniors from all facets of the life, physical, and computer sciences and engineering, and particularly those students from small school and/or underrepresented backgrounds, are encouraged to apply. TECBio students will select from a pool of 38 diverse research mentors, whose work cover areas that include bioinformatics, bioimage analysis, computational drug discovery, computational structural biology, and systems biology. In addition to performing cutting-edge research, TECBio students will participate in a weekly journal club, attend research and career seminars organized specifically for the program, take part in an ethics forum that will instruct them in the responsible conduct of research, present their work at a Pittsburgh-wide annual research symposium, tour research facilities such as the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, and experience the various social and cultural activities available in Pittsburgh - America's most livable city. TECBio students will also play an active role in enhancing the TECBio program and will have several opportunities, including the common assessment tool available to BIO-funded REU PIs to give their feedback. Following the completion of the program, TECBio alumni will receive continued mentoring by the program directors and mentors, who will maintain contact with students to help them establish and maintain success in their nascent careers. Additional information can be found at www.tecbioreu.pitt.edu, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Joseph C. Ayoob at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Chakra Chennubhotla at [e-mail]).The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

一个研究经验的本科生（REU）网站奖已作出匹兹堡大学提供10个学生10周的研究培训，在2013-2016年的夏天。这个培训和实验在计算生物学（TECBio）REU计划的首要主题是“多尺度建模，模拟和系统级分析生物发现”。TECBio学生可以期待一个具有挑战性和充实的研究经验，这将为他们在研究生院的成功职业生涯做好准备。从生活的各个方面，物理，计算机科学和工程，特别是那些来自小学校和/或代表性不足的背景的学生上升的大三和大四学生，鼓励申请。TECBio学生将从38位不同的研究导师中进行选择，他们的工作涵盖生物信息学，生物图像分析，计算药物发现，计算结构生物学和系统生物学等领域。除了进行前沿研究，TECBio学生将参加每周杂志俱乐部，参加专门为该计划组织的研究和职业研讨会，参加道德论坛，指导他们负责任地进行研究，在匹兹堡范围内的年度研究研讨会上展示他们的工作，参观匹兹堡超级计算中心等研究设施，并体验匹兹堡-美国最宜居城市的各种社会和文化活动。TECBio学生还将在加强TECBio计划方面发挥积极作用，并将有几个机会，包括生物资助的REU PI提供的通用评估工具，以提供他们的反馈。在该计划完成后，TECBio校友将获得项目总监和导师的持续指导，他们将与学生保持联系，帮助他们在新生的职业生涯中建立和保持成功。更多信息可在www.tecbioreu.pitt.edu或联系PI（Joseph C. Ayoob在[e-mail]）或共同PI（Chakra Chennubhotla博士在[e-mail]）。该网站是由国防部与NSF REU计划合作共同资助的。
