REU-Site Program in Nanotechnology for Biology and Medicine

EEC-0647755 Denis Wirtz授予约翰霍普金斯大学这个奖项将为本科生提供纳米生物技术领域具有挑战性的研究经验，即纳米技术与生物学和医学的接口。拟议中的项目的优势之一是这些本科生进行研究的环境的跨学科性质。REU的学生将与来自化学和生物分子工程、生物医学工程、材料科学与工程、生物物理学和生物学等多个学术部门的研究人员以及大学四个部门的研究人员进行互动和合作，包括医学院、公共卫生学院、艺术与科学学院和应用物理实验室。该计划的总体目标是为REU学生提供真正独特的教育体验，以研究经验为核心，同时为未来的研究生研究奠定理想的基础。该计划将积极招收代表不足的群体的学生。REU计划将设在最近成立的纳米生物技术研究所，该研究所将通过其活跃的工业附属计划，为学生从REU计划毕业后提供无与伦比的工作和实习机会。

EEC-0647755Denis WirtzThe award to Johns Hopkins University will provide undergraduate students with challenging research experiences in the area of nanobiotechnology, at the interface of nanotechnology and biology and medicine. One of the strengths of the proposed program is the interdisciplinary nature of the environment in which these undergraduates will conduct research. REU students will interact and work with researchers from several academic departments- for example, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Biophysics, and Biology and across four divisions of the University, including the Schools of Medicine, Public Health, Arts and Sciences, and Applied Physics Laboratory. The overall objective of this program is to provide REU students with a truly unique educational experience, with the research experience at the core, while at the same time serving as an ideal foundation for future graduate research.The program will actively recruit students from underrepresented groups. The REU program will be housed in the recently created Institute for NanoBioTechnology, which will provide students with unparalleled job and internship opportunities after graduation from the REU program through its active Industrial Affiliates Program.
