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.

超出所提供的空间。在环境毒理学的少数民族夏季研究经验的主要目标是提供五个学生有机会积极参与正在进行的研究项目。学生将有“动手”的责任，在研究项目中，合理的结论，可以在9周内获得，并将花费85%的时间在实验室。环境毒理学的研究机会可在异生物质的代谢和运输，卤代烃的毒性机制，氧化应激诱导的毒性机制，DNA修复和诱变，神经毒理学和免疫毒理学的专业领域。学生将与教师谁是核心和联合教师在毒理学研究生中心谁也培训补助金教师的T32环境毒理学NIEHS培训补助金（共30名教师）。学生将从波多黎各大学（UPR）招募，作为过去三个夏天由肯塔基州大学（英国）和UPR共同赞助的UPR学生方案的延续。我们将继续与UPR医学科学校区环境和毒理学研究中心主任Braulio Jimenez博士合作，以确定和招募夏季课程的学生。Jimenez博士;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和为什么他们希望在毒理学工作的文章，以及一封推荐信。Vore博士和培训补助金学院的另外3名成员将审查候选人，并选择前五名。这个小组还将匹配申请人的兴趣与那些能够在任何给定的夏天与学生一起工作的教师。Vore博士将密切关注学生和导师在课程期间和结束时的满意度。学生们将参加一系列研讨会，讨论他们的研究，并听取有关使用动物和研究伦理的介绍，以及如何为研究生院做准备。最后，学生将做一个15分钟的报告和讨论他们的研究成果。性能现场=
