DEVELOPMENT OF A PROGRAM IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES

总体目标是：（a）提供研究参与， 本科生和硕士（B）提供车辆 为我们机构的教职员工提供一个再保证，（c）提供一个 科学研究的体制模式，（d）增加 少数民族学生谁将进入终端学位课程，重点是 生物医学研究作为一种职业，（e）提供不同的层面， （f）扩大研究所的范围和数量， 高质量的研究项目包含在整个项目中。 的 本计划中包含的项目旨在满足所述 通过让被分配子项目的学生参与， 在个别项目中。 这些项目的性质各不相同， 其具体目标是：（a）研究生物化学和 粘液的化学成分，其性质赋予 维持粘液毯的保护功能。 变化 粘液物质的组成或其物理状态已经被 涉及许多疾病状态（B）的模型系统的合成 铜蛋白，血蓝蛋白，并研究单核和双核配体桥接 合成模型的系统（c）以生物化学表征 柄杆菌能量代谢调节与 crescentus与细胞分化和细胞增殖的调节 师. 学生的参与将有助于确保提供训练有素的 和积极的学生谁可能会寻求终端学位， 生物医学科学 通过在数量和范围上提供多种多样的项目， 我们的研究机构已经建立。 此外，我们打算 继续扩大我们计划内的项目数量， MBRS计划，同时提供了一种机制，使我们的教师可以进入 生物医学研究的竞技场。

The overall objectives are (a) to provide research participation for undergraduates and M.S. level graduate students, (b) to provide a vehicle of reasearch for faculty at our institution, (c) to provide an institutional model of scientific research, (d) to increase the pool of minority students who will enter terminal degree programs with emphasis on biomedical research as a vocation, (e) to provide diverse dimensions to the research efforts of the institution and (f) to expand the scope and number of high quality research projects contained in the overall project. The projects contained in this program are designed to meet the stated objectives by involving student participants who are assigned sub-projects within the individual projects. The projects are diverse in nature and have as their specific objectives: (a) a study of the biochemical and chemical composition of mucus, the properties of which impart upon the maintenance of the protective function of the mucus blanket. Changes in the composition of the mucus substance or in its physical state have been implicated in many disease states (b) the synthesis of model systems of the cuproprotein, hemocyanin and to study mono and binuclear ligand bridged systems of the synthesized models (c) to biochemically characterize the relationship between the regulation of energy metabolism in Caulobacter crescentus with the regulation of cellular differentiation and cell division. Student involvement will help assure a supply of highly trained and motivated students who will likely seek terminal degrees in the biomedical sciences. By providing a diversity of projects, both in number and scope, a model of research has been established at our institution. In addition, we intend to continue to expand the number of projects within our program through the MBRS program while providing a mechanism by which our faculty can enter the arena of biomedical research.
