RES FACIL CONST: PROTEIN STRUCTURE, ARTIFICIAL ENDONUCLEASE, DRUG DESIGN

申请者描述(申请人提供)：本申请请求支持位于大学生物化学系生物化学实验室四楼的不合标准的研究实验室空间的重大改造。分子生物物理学(PMB)计划的长期目标是促进分子生物物理学领域的基础生物医学研究，并加强该学科和相关研究领域的研究生和博士后研究员的培训。港口及航运局的具体目标是：1)在港口及航运局四楼建立最先进的研究实验室，供将参与港口及航运局的新老教务人员使用；2)利用邻近的实验室，促进教务人员与其研究小组(包括研究生、博士后研究员及本科生)之间的科学互动；3)提供机会，让翻新空间的居住者与港口及航运局其他部门的参与者进行研究互动及合作；及4)发展一个研究环境，促进港口及航运局杰出资深教员对新初级教员及少数族裔科学家的指导。这一改造项目的总体目标是为分子生物物理学项目创造一个良好的、互动的研究环境，以提高港口及航运局所有参与者的研究生产率和职业发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support for major renovation of sub-standard research laboratory space in the Department of Biochemistry located on the fourth floor of the BSB at the UI. The long-term goals of this Program in Molecular Biophysics (PMB) are to facilitate basic biomedical research in the area of molecular biophysics and to enhance the training of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in this subject and related research areas. The specific goals of the PMB are: 1) to generate state-of-the-art research laboratories on the fourth floor of the BSB for new and established faculty investigators who will participate in the PMB; 2) to facilitate scientific interactions among faculty investigators and their research groups, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and undergraduates, by the close proximity of their laboratories; 3) to provide opportunities for research interactions and collaborations among both the occupants of the renovated space and the participants in the PMB from other departments; and 4) to develop a research environment that fosters the mentoring of new junior faculty members and minority scientists by outstanding senior faculty of the PMB. The overall objective of this renovation project is to create an excellent, interactive research environment for a program in molecular biophysics that enhances the research productivity and career development of all of the participants in the PMB.
