REU SITE: Program in Molecular Biosciences

科罗拉多州立大学的分子生物科学暑期REU项目是一个为期10周的项目，让本科生接触到构成现代生物化学和分子生物学学科的广泛研究领域和方法。该项目从阵亡将士纪念日后的周二开始，到8月的第一周结束。12名学生将被选中与来自五个系的导师一起工作。学生参与自己的研究项目，学习如何制定和测试假设，设计和执行实验，在假设的背景下分析结果，并使用最先进的技术和仪器。与教师、研究生、博士后和专业研究人员的互动为了解生物化学和分子生物学的最新进展提供了一种机制。学生将获得一笔津贴、大学宿舍或公寓楼的免费住宿、膳食津贴和往返现场的旅费津贴。在课程结束时，学生们口头或通过海报展示他们的研究成果，并以手稿形式提交最终报告。除了研究之外，学生们还参与社会活动，如在落基山国家公园漂流和徒步旅行。此外，还计划到附近的政府实验室和生物技术公司进行实地考察，并举办GRE准备和科学职业研讨会。特别鼓励研究机会有限的学生和来自科学领域代表性不足的群体的学生申请。欲了解更多信息，学生可以访问http://www.bmb.colostate.edu/reu.cfm，或联系Marti Stokes 970-491-5602或Marti.stokes@colostate.edu或reubiochem@colostate.edu或Paul Laybourn 970-491-5100或Paul.Laybourn@colostate.edu。

The Molecular Biosciences Summer REU Site at Colorado State University is a 10-week program that exposes undergraduates to the broad range of research areas and approaches that constitute the modern discipline of biochemistry and molecular biology. The program begins the Tuesday after Memorial Day and ends in the first week of August. Twelve students will be selected to work with mentors from five departments. Students are involved in their own research project where they learn how to formulate and test hypotheses, design and execute experiments, analyze results in the context of the hypothesis, and use state-of-the-art techniques and instrumentation. Interactions with faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professional research staff provide a mechanism for learning about the latest advances in biochemistry and molecular biology. Students receive a stipend, free housing in a university residence hall or apartment building, a meal allowance, and an allowance to defray travel to/from the site. At the end of the program, students present their research results orally and through a poster, and produce a final report in manuscript form. In addition to research, students are engaged in social activities such as white water rafting and hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. Field trips to nearby government labs and biotech companies as well as workshops on GRE preparation and scientific careers are also planned. Students with limited opportunities for research and those from groups under-represented in science are especially encouraged to apply.
