This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Rowan University funds student development and the advancement of interdisciplinary biomedical engineering and science research focusing on biomedical materials, devices, therapeutics, and emerging frontiers. The Site will provide opportunities for ten, diverse undergraduate participants each summer to conduct novel, cutting-edge research under the direction of faculty mentors from three colleges - the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering, the College of Science and Mathematics, and Rowan's Cooper School of Medicine - and eight academic departments, with the Department of Biomedical Engineering as the lead. Students will participate as a group in weekly seminars and workshops that provide comprehensive professional development and allow cross-cultivation of the individual research experience. This REU Site will advance the field and prepare students for future advanced careers in engineering and science relevant to medicine and healthcare and provide a holistic experience for development of strong research skills. Enhancing or improving quality of life and health benefits society and is a cross-cutting theme in the National Academy of Engineering's Grand Challenges for Engineering in the 21st Century.The goal of this REU Site is to provide undergraduates an exciting research experience that will prepare and motivate them for further education and careers in science and engineering as well as advance and support novel biomedical engineering and science research. The REU Site cohort will be a diverse group of undergraduate participants from four-year institutions and community colleges that have limited opportunity to engage in research activities. This REU site will be beneficial to the students' appreciation of interconnected and multi-disciplinary topics within the fields of science and engineering, understanding of related concepts between inter-related disciplines, presentation and problem solving skills, appreciation for life-long learning, and desire to pursue advanced studies and careers in science and engineering. Research projects will advance the field and be interdisciplinary in nature and will include biomaterials and tissue engineering, micro/nano systems and device development, regenerative medicine, biomolecule detection, medication development and evaluation, nanoparticle synthesis and development, and personalized medicine. Undergraduate and graduate student mentors from Rowan University will participate in the program and provide peer contacts.

罗文大学的本科生研究经验（REU）网站资助学生发展和跨学科生物医学工程和科学研究的进步，重点是生物医学材料，设备，治疗和新兴前沿。该网站将提供十个机会，不同的本科生参与者每年夏天进行新颖的，前沿的研究指导下，教师导师从三个学院-亨利M。罗文工程学院，科学与数学学院，罗文库珀医学院-和八个学术部门，与生物医学工程系为主导。学生将作为一个团体参加每周的研讨会和讲习班，提供全面的专业发展，并允许个人研究经验的交叉培养。该REU网站将推进该领域，并为学生未来在与医学和医疗保健相关的工程和科学方面的高级职业做好准备，并为培养强大的研究技能提供全面的体验。提高或改善生活质量和健康有益于社会，是美国国家工程院21世纪世纪工程大挑战的一个交叉主题。REU网站的目标是为本科生提供一个令人兴奋的研究体验，为他们在科学和工程领域的进一步教育和职业生涯做好准备，并推动和支持新的生物医学工程和科学研究。REU网站队列将是来自四年制机构和社区学院的本科参与者的多元化群体，这些机构和社区学院参与研究活动的机会有限。这个REU网站将有利于学生在科学和工程领域内相互关联和多学科主题的欣赏，相互关联的学科之间的相关概念的理解，演示和解决问题的技能，终身学习的欣赏，以及追求科学和工程的深造和职业的愿望。研究项目将推动该领域的发展，并具有跨学科性质，将包括生物材料和组织工程，微/纳米系统和设备开发，再生医学，生物分子检测，药物开发和评估，纳米颗粒合成和开发以及个性化医疗。来自罗文大学的本科生和研究生导师将参加该计划，并提供同行联系。
