MINORITY BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH SUPPORT PROGRAM

MBRS计划在鲁斯特学院的总体目标是 鼓励和激励少数民族学生考虑职业， 生物医学领域，以增加进入研究生的学生人数 学校，并为Rust College的教职员工创造机会， 参与并提高他们在生物医学领域的研究能力。 为了实现这些目标，我们提出了以下项目： (1)阿拉法特博士指导的浓缩活动方案。 这个程序 将使学生和教师接触到当前的生物医学 通过系列研讨会、生物医学研讨会和 技术，科学会议和生物医学研究经验， 还有校外 (2)四个生物医学研究项目已被 由我们的科学教师（阿拉法特，卡里姆，维尔克和叶）开发。 建议的研究项目包括： 卵巢激素和经前综合征中的神经递质， 抗癌和抗艾滋病药物的合成，膳食酚的作用 对N-亚硝基脯氨酸形成的影响，以及膳食胆固醇对 脂肪酸代谢 这些研究项目将帮助我们的教师 提高他们在生物医学领域的研究能力。 的 建议的活动将培养教师的自信心 并将改善我们机构的研究和教学。 六 教师和12名本科生将参加 这个戒酒会这

The overall objectives of the MBRS program at Rust College are to encourage and motivate minority students to consider careers in biomedical fields, to increase the number of students entering graduate schools, and to create opportunities for Rust College faculty members to engage and enhance their research capabilities in the biomedical field. To accomplish these objectives, we are proposing the following projects: (1) Enrichment activities program directed by Dr. Arafat. This program will expose the students and the faculty to the current biomedical research developments through seminar series, workshops on biomedical techniques, scientific meetings, and biomedical research experiences on and off campus. (2) Four biomedical research projects have been developed by out science faculty members (Arafat, Karim, Virk and Yeh). The proposed research projects include: the relationship between the ovarian hormones and the neurotransmitters in premenstrual syndrome, synthesis of anticancer and anti-AIDS agents, effects of dietary phenols on N-Nitrosoproline formation, and effects of dietary cholesterol on fatty acids metabolism. These research projects will help our faculty enhance their research capabilities in the biomedical fields. The proposed activities will develop self confidence in the faculty memnbers and will improve both research and teaching at our institution. Six faculty members and twelve undergraduate students will participate in this program.
