REU Site for an Introduction to Radiochemistry Research

化学系奖支持密苏里大学2004-2006年夏季的本科生研究经验(REU)网站。苏珊·利弗是该网站的项目总监，J·大卫·罗伯逊是联合PI。该计划的重点是在核医学、生命科学和核工业的广泛领域培训和开展放射化学研究。来自化学、环境卫生服务和放射学、核工程、放射科学和生物化学系的7名教员将在每年夏天为8名学生担任学生导师，为期8周。这些教师不仅在放射化学方面有专业知识，还在有机、无机化学、分析化学或核化学等其他领域拥有专业知识。学生将在全国范围内招生，并从过去曾作为暑期学生来源的少数族裔服务机构和密苏里州的LSAMP项目中招生。将有关于环境健康和安全、同位素安全处理的工作坊，以及每周关于放射化学研究的讲座和讨论。学生们将在夏末研讨会和顶石海报会议上展示他们的研究成果。国家生物医学成像和生物工程研究所(NIBIB)、国家卫生研究所(NIH)共同资助该奖项。

The Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Missouri for the summers of 2004-2006. Susan Lever is the site's program director and J. David Robertson is the co-PI. The focus of this program is training in, and conduct of radiochemistry research in the broad areas of nuclear medicine, life sciences and the nuclear industry. Seven faculty from the departments of chemistry, environmental health services and radiology, nuclear engineering, radiological sciences and biochemistry, will serve as student mentors to 8 students each summer in an eight-week program. The faculty members have expertise in radiochemistry as well as one additional field including organic, inorganic, analytical or nuclear chemistry. Students will be recruited nationally and from minority serving institutions that have served as sources of summer students in the past and the LSAMP program in Missouri. There will be workshops on environmental health and safety, safe handling of isotopes, and weekly lectures and discussions of radiochemistry research. The students will present their research at an end-of-summer symposium and capstone poster session. The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), National Institute of Health (NIH) cofunds the award.
