REU Site in Molecular Genetics and Biochemistry

克莱姆森大学（CU）的遗传、生物化学和生命科学研究系（GBLSS）将为12名学生提供为期10周的REU住宿项目。参与者将在全国范围内招募，包括那些具有任何被认为是“生命科学”学科背景的人：遗传学、生物化学、细胞生物学、微生物学等，并将与最符合他们兴趣和学术背景的正在进行的研究项目相匹配。特别鼓励来自研究机会有限的机构和在科学领域代表性不足的群体的学生申请。该计划提供当代遗传学和生物化学的许多领域的研究，包括但不限于蛋白质结构-功能关系，植物和动物系统的基本发育过程，信号转导，植物和动物病原体和高通量基因组学。在项目过程中，学生将1)与教师、博士后助理、研究生和其他本科生进行激烈的实践研究；2)了解各种仪器和当代方法在生命科学研究中的应用；3)参加REU项目和科罗拉多大学其他活跃研究实验室的教师的研讨会报告；4)以口头报告的形式提交正式的中期进度报告；5)准备一张最后的海报，在闭幕的研究研讨会上展示。除了该计划的研究部分，学生还将参加有关科学研究伦理行为的研讨会和讨论。有兴趣申请该项目的学生可以访问http://www.clemson.edu/gblssreu。

The Department of Genetics, Biochemistry and Life Science Studies (GBLSS) at Clemson University (CU) will offer a residential 10-week REU program for twelve students. The participants, to be recruited nationally, will include those with a background in any of the disciplines considered to be "life sciences": genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, etc. and will be matched with ongoing research projects that best fit their interests and academic background. Students from institutions with limited research opportunities and from groups under-represented in science are particularly encouraged to apply. The Program offers research in many areas of contemporary genetics and biochemistry including, but not limited to, protein structure-function relationships, basic developmental processes in plant and animals systems, signal transduction, plant and animal pathogens and high-throughput genomics. During the course of the program, students will 1) engage in an intense, hands-on research experience involving interactions with faculty, postdoctoral associates, graduate students and other undergraduates; 2) learn about the application of a large variety of instrumentation and contemporary methodologies in life science research; 3) attend seminar presentations by faculty members in the REU program and other active research labs at CU; 4) present a formal mid-term progress report in the form of an oral presentation; 5) prepare a final poster for presentation at a concluding Research Symposium. In addition to the research component of the program, students will participate in workshops and discussions about the ethical conduct of scientific research.
