项目摘要

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. The primary objective of the Minority Summer Research Experience in Environmental Toxicology is to provide five students with an opportunity to participate actively in an ongoing research project. Students will have "hands- on" responsibilities in research projects in which reasonable conclusions can be obtained in a 9-week period, and will spend 85% of their time in the laboratory. Research opportunities in Environmental Toxicology are available in the specialty areas of metabolism and transport of xenobiotics, mechanisms of toxicity of halogenated hydrocarbons, mechanisms of oxidative stress-induced toxicity, DNA repair and mutagenesis, neurotoxicology and immunotoxicology. Students will work with faculty who are Core and Joint Faculty in the Graduate Center for Toxicology who are also Training Grant Faculty on the T32 Environmental Toxicology NIEHS Training Grant (a total of 30 faculty). Students will be recruited from the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) as the continuation of a program for students from UPR which has been cosponsored by the University of Kentucky (UK) and UPR for the last three summers. We will continue to work with Dr. Braulio Jimenez, the Director of the Center for Environmental and Toxicological Research at the Medical Sciences Campus of UPR to identify and recruit students for the summer program. Applicants will be asked to provide their student transcripts and will be interviewed by Dr. Jimenez; the best candidates will send their transcripts, an essay describing their research interests and why they wish to work in Toxicology, and one letter of recommendation. Dr. Vore and 3 additional members of the Training Grant Faculty will review the candidates, and select the top five. This group will also match the interests of the applicants with those faculty who are able to work with the students in any given summer. Dr. Vore will closely monitor the satisfaction of the students and mentors during and at the end of the program. Students will attend a seminar series in which they discuss their research, and hear presentations on the use of animals and ethics in research, and how to prepare for Graduate School. Finally, students will make a 15 minute presentation and discussion of their research results.

超出提供的空间。少数民族夏季环境毒理学研究体验的主要目标是为五名学生提供一个积极参与正在进行的研究项目的机会。在9周时间内得出合理结论的研究项目中，学生将有“亲身实践”的责任，并将85%的时间花在实验室里。环境毒理学的研究机会主要集中在外源物质的代谢和运输、卤代烃的毒性机制、氧化应激诱导的毒性机制、DNA修复和突变、神经毒理学和免疫毒理学等专业领域。学生将与毒理学研究生院的核心和联合教员合作，他们也在T32环境毒理学NIEHS培训助学金(共30名教员)方面培训助学金。将从波多黎各大学(UPR)招募学生，作为过去三个夏天由肯塔基大学(联合王国)和UPR共同赞助的UPR学生方案的继续。我们将继续与UPR医学校园环境和毒物研究中心主任Braulio Jimenez博士合作，确定并招收暑期项目的学生。申请者将被要求提供他们的学生成绩单，并将接受希门尼斯博士的面试；最好的候选人将发送他们的成绩单、一篇描述他们的研究兴趣以及他们希望从事毒理学工作的原因的文章，以及一封推荐信。沃尔博士和培训助学金学院的另外三名成员将对候选人进行审查，并选出前五名。这个小组还将使申请者的兴趣与那些能够在任何给定的暑期与学生一起工作的教职员工相匹配。沃尔博士将在项目期间和结束时密切监测学生和导师的满意度。学生们将参加一系列研讨会，讨论他们的研究，并听取关于在研究中使用动物和伦理以及如何为研究生院做准备的演讲。最后，学生将对他们的研究成果做15分钟的陈述和讨论。表演网站========================================Section End===========================================
