HUC BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

HUC生物医学研究改进计划将启动Strong 胡马考大学教职员工的生物医学研究工作 上大学。它将为来自世界各地的教员提供机会 海洋生物、化学和数学系改善其专业水平 相关领域的研究参与度和生产率 生物医学。为了实现这一目标，需要资金。 用于支付夏季工资以及购买所需的设备和用品。 还要求提供旅费。该计划还将刺激 其他教职员工通过 我们的MBS教职员工的成就。该计划还将 作为获得理科本科生(大二、大三)的手段 和/或高级)参与生物医学领域的实际科学研究 科学；因此激发了他们对研究生生物医学的兴趣 研究。8名学生，学业成绩中等至优秀 资格，将被选为MBS参与者。此应用程序 涉及四个项目。其中之一是在生理(甲状腺)领域 荷尔蒙活性)。另一个将是血液流动建模。一种化学反应 项目将处理以下各项之间的结合常数的计算 含钒配体与其他生物化学物种及其关系 这些常量与血管系统活动的关系。最后，一个项目 包括确定控制的热力学参数 并对半喹酮类化合物的稳定性进行了讨论。这项生物医学研究 该计划将委托胡马考大学学院改进其研究 通过为生物医学研究创造适当的环境来提高能力 活动。

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.
