REU Site: Research by Undergraduates Using Molecular Biology Applications (RUMBA)

圣何塞州立大学的REU项目名为“本科生使用分子生物学应用研究”（RUMBA），每年夏天将有6名本科生参与为期10周的研究项目，重点研究分子生物学应用。在遗传学、分子进化、分子环境微生物学、细胞与分子发育生物学和生物多样性等领域具有专业知识的教师将指导学生。除了研究之外，学生还将参加以下活动：(1)分子生物学技术培训，(2)每周一次正式的小组研究会议，(3)伦理研讨会，(4)最终研究研讨会。学生将被要求撰写他们的工作，并在最后的研讨会上发言。学生将从圣何塞州立大学和其他当地本科院校招收，这些院校的女生和少数族裔学生的入学率很高。圣何塞州立大学（SJSU）是加利福尼亚州最古老的公立大学，位于圣何塞市中心和硅谷的中心。上海州立大学生物科学系在硅谷培养生物技术专业人员方面发挥着核心作用。有兴趣参加RUMBA的学生可以通过电子邮件jsoto3@email.sjsu.edu或电话408-924-4925与生物科学系助理教授Julio G. Soto联系。有关该计划的更多信息将发布在http://www2.sjsu.edu/depts/Biology/facultystaff/soto/soto.html上。

The REU program at San Jose State University, called Research by Undergraduates using Molecular Biology Applications (RUMBA), will engage 6 undergraduate students each summer in a ten-week research program focused on molecular biology applications. Faculty members with expertise in the areas of genetics, molecular evolution, molecular environmental microbiology, cell & molecular developmental biology, and biodiversity will mentor students. In addition to research, students will participate in the following: (1) molecular biology techniques training, (2) a weekly formal group research meeting, (3) an ethics seminar, and (4) a culminating research symposium. Students will be expected to write up their work and present at the culminating symposium. Students will be recruited from San Jose State University and other local undergraduate institutions with high enrollment of female and underrepresented minority students. San Jose State University (SJSU), the oldest public university in the state of California, is located in downtown San Jose and in the heart of Silicon Valley. The Biological Sciences Department at SJSU occupies a central role in the training of biotechnology professionals in Silicon Valley. Students interested in participating in RUMBA can contact Julio G. Soto, Assistant Professor, Biological Sciences Department, by email at jsoto3@email.sjsu.edu or by phone at 408-924-4925. More information about the program will be posted at http://www2.sjsu.edu/depts/Biology/facultystaff/soto/soto.html.
