REU Site: Summer Program in the Biochemical Sciences

肯塔基大学分子和细胞生物化学系的生化科学夏季REU项目是一个为期10周的项目，涉及前沿生化研究的本科生。其目标是鼓励主要来自阿巴拉契亚地区和/或代表性不足的少数群体的学生参与生物化学科学的事业。提供各种各样的项目，包括结构生物学，生物物理学，蛋白质组学，蛋白质和核酸化学，膜生物化学和分子生物学的研究。参与者将接受基本实验室技术和安全以及研究的具体细节方面的培训。参与者还将接触到生物化学科学中各种各样的职业选择。在项目结束时，所有参与者将以简短的演讲和海报的形式展示他们的研究成果。最佳演讲将获得奖励。强烈鼓励那些很少或根本没有机会在本国机构参与研究的生物和化学专业本科生以及来自生物化学科学领域代表性不足的群体的学生申请。所有学生参加者将获得津贴和免费住房，并将支付合理的交通费。欲了解更多信息和申请材料，请访问http://www.mc.uky.edu/Biochemistry/REU/，或致电859-323-6037或Trevor.Creamer@uky.edu与Trevor Creamer博士联系。

The Summer REU Program in the Biochemical Sciences in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry at the University of Kentucky is a 10-week program that involves undergraduates in cutting edge biochemical research. The goal is to encourage student participants, recruited mainly from Appalachia and/or underrepresented minority groups, to pursue careers in the biochemical sciences. A wide variety of projects are offered, including research in structural biology, biophysics, proteomics, protein and nucleic acid chemistry, membrane biochemistry, and molecular biology. Participants will receive training in basic laboratory techniques and safety, and the nuts and bolts of research. Participants will also be exposed to the wide variety of career options available in the biochemical sciences. At the conclusion of the Program, all participants will present their research as both a short talk and a poster. Awards will be given for the best presentations. Undergraduate students in biology and chemistry who have little or no opportunity to participate in research in their home institutions and students from groups underrepresented in the biochemical sciences are strongly encouraged to apply. All student participants will receive a stipend and free housing, and reasonable travel costs will be covered.
