MBRS PROGRAM AT ALABAMA A&M UNIVERSITY

该计划的总体目标是提供一个机会， 这所大学的生物医学系进行研究， 他们的专业化。 本科生参与研究， 所有这些领域的研究生都将是其中不可或缺的一部分。 努力 参与应该引起学生的兴趣， 追求生物医学研究事业，并应准备教师， 与各大院校争夺未来的研究经费。 已经确定了以下领域的潜力， 实现目标。 果蝇诱变研究的重点是分离 诱变剂敏感菌株 如果成功，这些菌株可能 能够检测空气中非常低浓度的诱变剂， 可用于环境诱变。 染色体 辐射敏感性项目将阐明的机制， 细胞周期中的畸变诱导。 学生将 获得细胞遗传学技术的经验，这是一个快速 扩大领域。 肉豆蔻酸毒性项目将涉及 学生在营养研究中使用的分析技术， 调查的识别，定位，分布和 在食用食物中分离出这种毒素。 在第四个项目中， 研究人员计划研究一些碱溶性细胞壁是否 级分是潜在的免疫原。 参加的学生 本研究将学习免疫学和处理的基本方法 病原体。 他们还将学习免疫技术， 等电聚焦和荧光抗体鉴定。

The overall objective of the program is to provide an opportunity for the biomedical faculty of this university to conduct research in their specialization. Research participation of undergraduate and graduate students in all these areas will be an integral part of this effort. The participation should create an interest in students to persue biomedical research careers and should prepare faculty to compete with major institutions for research funds in the future. The following areas have been identified for their potential to achieve the objective. Drosophila mutagenesis research is focused on the isolation of mutagen sensitive strains. In successful, these strains may be able to detect very low concentrations of mutagens in air and will be useful in environmental mutagenesis. The chromosomal radiosensitivity project will elucidate the mechanism of aberration induction during the cell cycle. The students will receive experience in cytogenetic techniques which is a rapidly expanding field. The myristicin toxicity project will involve students in analytical techniques used in nutrition research while investigating the identification, localization, distribution and isolation of this toxin in edible foods. In the fourth project, the investigator plans to study if some alkali soluble cell wall fractions are potential immunogens. The students participating in this research will learn basic methods in immunology and handling of pathogens. They will also learn immunological techniques such as, isoelectric focusing and fluorescent antibody identification.
