REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduate Students in Plant Cell Biology

植物细胞生物学中心（CEPCEB）与加州大学滨江分校（UCR）的综合基因组生物学研究所（IIGB）合作，致力于为本科生提供有益的研究经验。 作为本科生（REU）的研究经验网站，CEPCEB为两年制和四年制大学的学生带来了研究经验，他们有有限的机会了解植物细胞生物学研究所提供的兴奋和职业选择。 10名本科生将被接受进入为期10周的住宿计划。 该计划将开始与一个为期一周的研讨会，其中学生将介绍用于分析植物和植物真菌病原体细胞功能的技术和方法，包括基础分子生物学，基因组和生物信息学分析，以及用于研究活细胞的共聚焦显微镜方法。 然后，学生将花九个星期的时间与教师导师和研究生或研究生导师在他们选择的研究项目。 学生还将参加研讨会，以提高学习技能和专业发展，并讨论科学道德。 学生将获得助学金，免费食宿，以及往返网站的资金。 有关该计划的信息可以在http：//cepceb.ucr.edu/about/about.htm#UnderGradTrain上找到，或者联系帕特里夏·斯普林格博士（951）827-5785（pspringer@ucr.edu）或朱莉娅·贝利·塞雷斯博士（951）827-3738（serres@ucr.edu）。

The Center for Plant Cell Biology (CEPCEB) in association with the Institute for Integrative Genome Biology (IIGB) at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) is committed to provide rewarding research experiences to undergraduate students. As a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site, CEPCEB brings research experiences to students of two- and four-year colleges who have limited opportunity to learn about the excitement and career options that research in plant cell biology offers. Ten undergraduates will be accepted into the 10-week residential program. The program will begin with a one-week workshop, in which students will be introduced to techniques and approaches used for analysis of plant and plant fungal pathogen cell function, including basic molecular biology, genomic and bioinformatic analyses, and confocal microscopy methods used to study live cells. Students will then spend nine weeks working with a faculty mentor and a graduate or postgraduate mentor on a research project of their choice. Students will also participate in workshops to enhance learning skills and professional development, and to discuss ethics in science. Students will receive a stipend, free room and board, and funds for travel to and from the site. Information about the program can be found at http://cepceb.ucr.edu/about/about.htm#UnderGradTrain, or by contacting Dr. Patricia Springer at (951) 827-5785 (pspringer@ucr.edu) or Dr. Julia Bailey-Serres at (951) 827-3738 (serres@ucr.edu).
