Summer Undergraduate Research in Molecular Biology

该奖项每年夏天将为16名本科生提供参加明尼苏达大学分子生物学项目研究经验的机会。这个节目有两个部分。首先，所有学生花三周时间在强化实验课程中学习基本的分子生物学技术。本课程将涵盖基因调控的基本原理，并将为学生提供有关特定技术以及背景术语和概念的最新信息。课程结束后，每个学生将在接下来的七周内完成一个独立的研究项目，该项目共有50名教师导师，他们都在使用重组DNA技术进行研究。学生的研究经验将辅以每周的学生研讨会和晚间研讨会，以加强未来申请研究生课程的质量。学生将在项目结束时以展示或海报的形式准备一份研究项目的总结。该奖项将促进个人的继续教育和培训，他们将成为我们下一代生物科学基础研究人员的一部分。

This award will provide opportunities for 16 undergraduate students each summer to participate in the Research Experiences in Molecular Biology program at the University of Minnesota. This program has two parts. First all students spend three weeks learning basic molecular biology techniques in an intensive laboratory course. This course will cover basic principles of gene regulation and will provide students with the most current information on specific techniques as well as background terminology and concepts. Following the course, each student spends the next seven weeks completing an independent research project under the direction of one of the 50 faculty mentors affiliated with the program, all of whom are conducting research using Recombinant DNA technology. The students' research experience will be supplemented by weekly student seminars and evening workshops to strengthen the quality of future applications to graduate programs. Students will prepare a summary of their research project in the form of a display or a poster session at the conclusion of the program. This award will foster the continued education and training of individuals who will be part of our next generation of basic researchers in the biological sciences.
