REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates at Clark Atlanta University

从2001年夏天开始，克拉克亚特兰大大学将为10名细胞和分子生物学以及生物化学领域的本科生提供暑期研究体验。来自美国东南部历史悠久的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)的本科生将主要被招募为该项目的申请者。录取到该项目的低年级和高年级学生将参与在本科生培训和指导方面经验丰富的教职员工的实验室中进行基础生物和化学研究。这项研究培训的目的将是让学生从小型的、非研究导向的学校接触到解决当今一些最关键的研究问题的方法和最先进的仪器。学生将从事的项目范围从研究哺乳动物细胞中的信号转导现象到发现手性化合物的新合成技术。有了这些类型的接触，学生们不仅可以获得新的科学知识，加强他们的课堂讲课，而且他们还可以第一手了解研究领域可用的职业可能性。

Beginning in the summer of 2001, Clark Atlanta University will offer summer research experiences for ten undergraduate students in the areas of cellular and molecular biology and biological chemistry. Undergraduate students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the Southeastern United States will primarily be recruited as applicants for this program. Junior and senior students recruited into the program will be involved in basic biological and chemical research in the laboratories of faculty members who are experienced in the training and mentoring of undergraduate students. The purpose of this research training will be to expose students from small, non-research oriented schools to approaches to some of the most critical research problems of today and to state-of-the-art instrumentation. Projects on which students will work range from investigations on the phenomenon of signal transduction in mammalian cells to discoveries of new synthesis techniques for chiral compounds. With these types of exposure, the students will not only gain new scientific knowledge and have their classroom lectures reinforced, but they can also learn firsthand about the career possibilities available in the research arena.
