UDC BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM

UDC生物医学研究计划的主要目标是(1) 提高该机构的生物医学研究能力 和(2)为我们的学生准备进入研究生和 职业学校。这个项目是多学科的，而且 涉及化学和生物学的两个子课题 两个系和一个通讯艺术与科学系 部门(CASD)。项目在性质和关怀上都是基本的- 完全设计为允许学生积极参与。学生 显示出生物医学研究的潜力被选入其中 本科生和研究生课程(CASD)研究 助理。这些学生，在最初的训练期后，玩 在所有五个次级项目中发挥不可或缺的作用。因为这项研究 这些学生已经做好了充分的准备，以应对 研究生或专业学校。 UDC的生物医学研究进展可以在 MBR记录的研究出版物数量不断增加 支持的教职员工。自1984年7月以来，已发表了两篇论文 其中一篇已被接受发表在所有被引用的期刊上。 此外，MBR教职员工已提交或已被邀请参加 在韦恩州立大学等机构举办研讨会， 德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校和路易斯堡学院。 研究领域涉及许多学科，包括：生物学和 有机化学、微生物学、病毒学、寄生虫学和语言学 病理学。

The major objectives of the UDC Biomedical Research Program are (1) to increase the biomedical research capability of this institution and (2) to prepare our students for entry into graduate and professional schools. This program is multidisciplinary and involves two subprojects each from the Chemistry and Biology Departments and one from the Communication Arts and Sciences Department (CASD). Projects are fundamental in nature and care- fully designed to allow active student participation. Students showing potential for biomedical research are selected into this program as both undergraduate and graduate (CASD) research assistants. These students, after an initial training period, play an integral role in all five subprojects. Because of this research exposure these students are well prepared for the rigors of graduate or professional school. The biomedical research development of UDC can be seen in the increasing numbers of research publications recorded by the MBRS supported faculty. Since July, 1984 two papers have been published and one has been accepted for publication all in refereed journals. Furthermore, MBRS faculty have presented or have been invited to present seminars at such institutions as Wayne State University, University of Texas, San Antonio and Fort Lewis College. The areas of research touch many disciplines including: bio- and organic chemistry, microbiology, virology, parasitology, and speech pathology.
