REU Site: Summer Undergraduate Research Program in Biomolecular Sciences

威斯康星大学拉克罗斯分校（UW-L）的生物分子科学研究所（IBIS）将在为期10周的REU项目中接待10名学生。 特别鼓励那些目前在科学领域代表性不足的学生或来自小型学院或两年制学院的大三学生申请。 IBIS REU的一个显着特点将是与教师并肩工作的机会，他们不仅运行充满活力的研究项目，而且还致力于本科教学的卓越。 学生将成为UW-L的IBiS计划的一部分，该计划将生物学，化学和微生物学系的教师和学生团结在一起。 学生将有机会学习和应用许多领域的方法，包括生物化学，生物信息学，细胞生物学，经典和分子遗传学，先进的显微镜，分子建模和合成有机化学。 学生将与他们的教师导师合作开发和进行独立的研究项目。 除了沉浸在实验室研究中，学生还将参加每周一次的实践研讨会，旨在培养他们作为科学家的能力。 在这些研讨会中，学生将探索研究伦理问题，提高数据分析和演示技能，学习如何阅读主要文献，并培养科学交流技能，包括写作，口头演示和海报演示。 其他会议将集中在选择和获得研究生院和生物分子科学的职业录取。 参与者将获得助学金，校园住宿和校园膳食计划。 UW-L在7河流地区的美丽环境将提供充足的机会，通过社会活动建立友情。 欲了解更多信息，请联系大卫霍华德博士，608-785-6455，howard.davi@ uwlax.edu或安妮加尔布雷思博士，608-785-8246，galbrait.anne@ uwlax.edu;或访问http://www.uwlax.edu/ibisreu/。

ABSTRACTThe Institute for Biomolecular Sciences (IBiS) at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UW-L) will host 10 students in a 10-week REU program. Students who are currently sophomores or juniors from groups underrepresented in science or from small colleges or two-year colleges are particularly encouraged to apply. A distinctive feature of the IBiS REU will be the opportunity to work side-by-side with faculty who not only run vibrant research programs but are also committed to excellence in undergraduate teaching. Students will become part of UW-L's IBiS program which unites faculty and students from the departments of Biology, Chemistry and Microbiology. Students will have opportunities to learn and apply approaches in many fields including biochemistry, bioinformatics, cell biology, classical and molecular genetics, advanced microscopy, molecular modeling, and synthetic organic chemistry. Students will develop and conduct an independent research project in collaboration with their faculty mentor. In addition to this immersion in lab research, students will participate in weekly hands-on workshops designed to develop their abilities as a scientist. In these workshops, students will explore issues in research ethics, improve skills in data analysis and presentation, learn how to read primary literature, and develop skills in scientific communication including writing, oral presentations, and poster presentations. Other sessions will focus on choosing and gaining admission to graduate school and careers in biomolecular science. Participants will receive a stipend, campus housing, and a campus meal plan. The beautiful setting of UW-L in the 7 Rivers Region will provide ample opportunities to build camaraderie through social events.
