REU: Undergraduate Research Experience in Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics

在分子生物学和生物信息学的本科生研究经验将允许本科生参加三，九个星期的夏季会议（2001 - 2003）在分子生物学和生物信息学（MBB）的研究项目。 研究项目将涵盖生物学的各个领域，每个领域都使用分子生物学和生物信息学研究工具。 七个高素质的本科生具有分子生物学和生物信息学的研究兴趣将进入从国家和国家机构的程序，特别注意从代表性不足的群体的学生招聘。 该方案的主要目标是：1）为学生提供进行动手分子生物学研究的机会，2）培养学生的生物信息学方法，并展示生物信息学的使用，以帮助阐明生物学问题，3）为学生提供关于研究生院入学的关键信息以及如何在研究生涯中取得成功，提高对分子生物学研究中出现的伦理问题的认识。 该计划旨在指导学生在实验室，以发展技术和智力能力，这反过来又鼓励在研究环境中的独立性。 这个REU网站不仅将丰富学生的本科研究经验，而且还促进学术和行业研究的职业生涯。

The Undergraduate Research Experience in Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics will allow undergraduates to participate for three, nine week summer sessions (2001-2003) in molecular biology and bioinformatics (MBB) research projects. Research projects will encompass diverse fields of biology each using Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics research tools. Seven highly qualified undergraduates having a research interest in molecular biology and bioinformatics will enter the program from state and national institutions, with particular attention focused on the recruitment of students from underrepresented groups. The main objectives of this program are to: 1) provide students with the opportunity to conduct hands-on molecular biology research, 2) train students in bioinformatic methods and demonstrate the use of bioinformatics to aid in elucidating biological problems, 3) provide students with critical information on graduate school admissions and how to succeed in a research career and 4) raise awareness of ethical issues that emerge from molecular biology research. The program seeks to mentor students in the laboratory in order to develop technical and intellectual competence, which in turn encourages independence in the research environment. This REU site will not only enrich students with undergraduate research experience, but also promote careers in academic and industry research.
