The HUC Biomedical Research Improvement Program will initiate strong biomedical research efforts among faculty members at the Humacao University College. It will provide the opportunity to faculty members from the Marine Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics Departments to improve their research participation and productivity in areas related to the biomedicine. In order to accomplish this objective, funds are requested for summer salaries and to purchase the needed ewuipment and supplies. Travel funds are also requested. The Program will also stimulate the participation of other faculty members in biomedical research through the accomplishments of our MBS faculty participants. The Program will also serve as a means to get undergraduate science students (sophomore, junior and/or senior) involved in actual scientific research in biomedical sciences; therefore stimulating their interest in graduate biomedical research. Eight students, with moderate to excellent academic qualifications, will be selected as MBS participants. This application involves four projects. One of them is in the area of physiology (thyroid hormone activity). Another will be in blood flow modeling. A chemistry project will deal with the calculation of binding constants between vanadium containing ligands and other biochemical species and the relation of these constants with the vascular system activity. Finally, a project involving the determination of the thermodynamic parameters controlling the stabilities of semiquinones is also proposed. This Biomedical Research Program will commit the Humacao University College to improve its research capabilities by creating an appropiate setting for biomedical research activities.

HUC生物医学研究改进计划将启动强有力的 乌马考大学教职员工的生物医学研究成果 学院 它将为来自世界各地的教师提供机会， 海洋生物学、化学和数学系，以提高他们的 研究参与和生产率在有关领域的 生物医药 为了实现这一目标， 夏季工资和购买所需的设备和用品。 还要求提供旅费。 该计划还将促进 其他教职员工通过生物医学研究的参与 我们的MBS教师参与者的成就。 该计划还将 作为一种手段，让本科理科学生（大二，大三 和/或高级）参与生物医学领域的实际科学研究 科学;因此激发他们对研究生生物医学的兴趣 research. 八名学生，学业成绩中等至优秀 资格，将被选为MBS参与者。 本申请 涉及四个项目。 其中之一是在生理学领域（甲状腺 激素活性）。 另一个是血流建模。 化学 项目将处理之间的结合常数的计算 含钒配体和其它生物化学物种的关系 这些常数与血管系统活动的关系。 最后，一个项目 包括确定热力学参数， 还提出了半醌的稳定性。 生物医学研究 该计划将致力于Humacao大学学院改善其研究 通过为生物医学研究创造适当的环境， 活动
