REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Biology: Cellular Stress Physiology

REU研究中心：生物学本科研究：细胞应激生理学佩珀代因大学夏季本科生研究计划每年促进至少8名本科生作为生物科学家的专业成熟，让他们沉浸在互动式的11周原始研究活动中，通过细胞应激生理学主题联系。学生设计和追求利用广泛的细胞和有机体系统，例如，酵母、组织培养中的哺乳动物细胞、两栖动物表皮组织和高等植物中的木质部导管分子。植物生理生态学，细胞生物学，分子生物学，发育生物学或神经生物学的教师导师提供支持，监督和培训，以及促进社区推广。客座科学家举办研究研讨会并批评学生项目。过去参加暑期项目的人提供同伴指导和建模。正式程序每年以书面论文，学生研究研讨会，学生海报会议和庆祝宴会结束。后续活动包括指导参加校园科学营的中学生的机会，专业介绍，并提交研究成果供出版。更广泛的影响：佩珀代因大学夏季本科研究项目的学生招聘强调少数族裔申请人，来自大洛杉矶的社区大学学生和其他研究机会有限的学院。 项目结果在开放日上向学童广泛传播，在海报会议上向大学行政部门和家长广泛传播，在最后一次由学生领导的研讨会上向当地帕克兰管理人员和研究科学家广泛传播。 学生在区域，国家和国际会议上交流他们的研究结果。

REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Biology: Cellular Stress PhysiologyThe Pepperdine University summer undergraduate research program facilitates the professional maturation of a minimum of 8 undergraduate students annually as biological scientists by immersing them in an interactive, 11-week session of original research activities, thematically-linked via cellular stress physiology. Students design and pursue projects utilizing a wide range of cellular and organismal systems, e.g., yeast, mammalian cells in tissue culture, amphibian epidermal tissue, and xylem vessel elements in higher plants. Faculty-mentors in plant physiological ecology, cellular biology, molecular biology, developmental biology, or neurobiology provide support, supervision, and training, as well as facilitate community outreach. Visiting scientists hold research seminars and critique student projects. Past participants in the summer program provide peer mentoring and modeling. The formal program concludes each year with a written paper, student research symposium, student poster session, and celebratory banquet. Follow-up activities include the opportunity to mentor middle school students enrolled in a campus-based Science Camp, professional presentations, and submission of research results for publication. Broader impact: Student recruitment by the Pepperdine University summer undergraduate research program emphasizes minority applicants, community college students from greater Los Angeles, and other colleges with limited research opportunities. Project findings are disseminated widely to schoolchildren at an open house, to university administration and parents at a poster session, and to local parkland managers and research scientists at a final student-led symposium. Students communicate their findings at regional, national and international conferences.
