C.U.P.R. BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM

波多黎各天主教大学的MBRS项目开创了一个新时代 波多黎各南部的学术研究。生物医学研究 该计划还激发了教职员工和学生对研究的兴趣 波多黎各天主教大学理学院和 庞塞医学院的教员。新增的项目来自 庞塞医学院将参与生物医学研究计划 加强该计划的生物医学研究能力，主要从 从生物学的角度来看。该计划还刺激了 发展和支持开展研究的适当环境 活动可以最好地完成。这份续签申请有六份 单个子项目。四名来自天主教大学，两名来自 庞塞医学院。第一个呼吁继续研究 波多黎各南部空气污染的影响。第二，继续 辐射敏化和辐射检查研究。第三， 继续研究硝基呋喃与DNA的相互作用。 第四，是一个刚刚开始并感兴趣的项目 神经生理学研究。第五个是一个新的，将涉及到 关于血红蛋白的胶束化学研究和最后一个将 涉及癌细胞转化研究。所有的研究项目都在 波多黎各天主教大学有一个共同的目标是调查 研究问题，具有很强的生物医学相关性。

The MBRS Program at Catholic University of Puerto Rico fosters a new era of acadmic research within southern Puerto Rico. The Biomedical Research Program also stimulates interest in research among faculty and students at the College of Sciences of Catholic University of Puerto Rico and among the faculty of the Ponce School of Medicine. The new addition of projects from the Ponce School of Medicine to the Biomedical Research Program will strengthen the biomedical research capabilities of the program, mainly from the biological point of view. The Program has also stimulated the development and support of an appropriate setting in which research activities can be best accomplished. This renewal application has six individual subprojects. Four from the Catholic University and two from the Ponce School of Medicine. The first one calls to continue studies on effects of air pollution in southern Puerto Rico. The second, to continue radiation sensitization and radiation checmical investigations. The third, to continue investigations on the interactions of nitrofurans with DNA. The fourth, is a project that just started and is interested in neurophysiology research. The fifth is a new one that will involve micellar chemistry investigations on hemoglobin and the last one will involve cancer cell transformation studies. All the research projects at the Catholic University of Puerto Rico have the common goal to investigate research problems, which have strong biomedical relevance.
