CAYEY UNIVERSITY COLLEGE - BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM

卡伊大学学院是一所本科教学机构， 有限的研究活动。 为了提高生物医学的质量 研究和激励教师的积极参与， 我们希望启动MBRS资助计划。 该计划有这些主要目标：1）专业发展我们的 教师，使他们成为有竞争力的生物医学研究科学家，2） 让本科生接触生物医学研究， 从事研究事业，3）提高整体素质， 学术课程通过开发一个适当的设置，其中研究 教学活动才能最好地完成。 为了实现拟议的目标，我们正在申请收购资金 仪器和技术援助。 额外资金 这些活动将包括举办研讨会， 客座演讲者，研讨会和校外研究经验的学生 和教师，将激励和鼓励教师和 学生进入生物医学研究活动或职业。 由于学院目前没有设施， 多学科的研究活动，我们决定开始计划， 生物医学领域的试点研究和研究项目。 研究 该项目是在细胞生物学领域，涉及的研究， 热诱导的主要蛋白热休克蛋白70在细胞内的分布 四膜虫的应激反应。 试点研究是在发展领域， 生物学，并将研究光周期条件等因素的影响， 对N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶的活性和数量的影响， 与蝾螈Notophthalmus viridescens肢体再生有关。

Cayey University College is an undergraduate teaching institution with limited research activities. To improve the quality of the biomedical research and to stimulate the active participation of faculty members and students in research activities we want to initiate the MBRS Grant Program. The Program has these major goals: 1) to develop professionally our faculty members to make them competitive biomedical research scientists, 2) to expose undergraduates to biomedical research and thereby motivate them to pursue research careers and, 3) to improve the overall quality of the academic programs by developing an appropriate setting in which research and teaching activities can best be accomplished. To achieve the proposed goals we are requesting funds for the acquisition of instrumentation and technical assistance. Additional funds are requested for the enrichment activities which will include seminars by guest speakers, workshops, and off-campus research experiences for students and faculty members that would motivate and encourage both faculty and students to enter biomedical research activities or careers. Since the College does not have at the present moment the facilities for multi-disciplinary research activites, we decided to start the program with a pilot study and a research project in the biomedical field. The research project is in the area of cell biology and involves the study of the intracellular distribution of hsp 70, the major protein induced by heat stress in Tetrahymena. The pilot study is in the area of developmental biology and will study the effect of factors such as photoperiod conditions on the activity and amount of N-acetylglucosaminidase, which is an enzyme related to limb regeneration in the newt Notophthalmus viridescens.
