This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Pennsylvania State University-University Park, entitled Penn State Cardiovascular Research: Engineering A Translational Experience (CREATE)," will expose students to research that will elucidate cellular/molecular processes governing biological responses to materials as applied to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the development of therapeutic CVD interventions. This focus on education in cardiovascular disease (CVD) is extremely important and highly relevant for two reasons. First, CVD remains the number one killer in the United States. Thus, there is a great need to develop a pipeline of new engineers and scientists who can become leaders in the detection, prevention, and treatment of the disease. Second, the underlying etiology of CVD and its associated technologies combine to form a perfect platform for training in the creative and integrative thinking that is the hallmark of biomedical engineering. The objectives of this program are: 1) To conduct research on multi-scale problems to improve the understanding and treatment of CVD, 2) To apply the creative process to solve engineering problems applied to CVD treatment or intervention, 3) To be able to describe the process of translating research into marketable technology, and 4) To be able to identify requirements for success in graduate and professional schools. Over a three year period, this REU program will engage undergraduate students in a 10-week intensive hands-on summer research and professional development/training experience, where they will develop proficiency in the underlying concepts and practice of cellular/molecular engineering, microscopy, or computational methods in biomedical engineering while integrating the creative process towards understanding CVD. The program will include individual research projects with faculty research mentors, seminars on safety training, research needs, and responsible conduct of research, workshops on the creative process applied to research, medical device development and intellectual property, outreach/dissemination of student research, and a research symposium. Through these activities Penn State CREATE will provide young researchers with new avenues of investigation, new technologies in quantitative and analytical methods, and new opportunities in novel diagnostic and interventional tools in medicine.

这项研究经历了宾夕法尼亚州立大学 - 大学 - 宾夕法尼亚州立大学心血管研究的本科生（REU）网站（REU）地点：“工程经验（创造）”将使学生接受研究，以阐明对细胞/分子过程的研究，以对材料进行对材料的材料进行，因为对心脏血管疾病的介绍（CVD）和临时培训（CVD）中的范围均涉及该研究。出于两个原因，心血管疾病（CVD）非常重要。生物医学工程。 在三年的时间里，该REU计划将与本科生一起参与为期10周的密集动手夏季研究和专业发展/培训经验，在那里他们将在蜂窝/分子工程，显微镜或计算方法的基础概念和实践中的熟练程度，同时融合了了解CVD的创造性过程。 该计划将包括与教师研究导师的个人研究项目，有关安全培训的研讨会，研究需求以及负责任的研究，有关用于研究，医疗设备开发和知识产权的创作过程的讲习班，学生研究的宣传/传播以及研究研讨会。 通过这些活动，宾夕法尼亚州立大学的创造将为年轻的研究人员提供新的调查途径，定量和分析方法的新技术以及新颖的医学诊断和介入工具的新机会。
