REU Site: Proteomics and Functional Genomics at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh

该奖项由NSF化学和生物基础设施部门资助。威斯康星州-奥什科什REU网站的大学将选择九名学生每年夏天参加与教师导师在蛋白质组学和功能基因组学领域的研究项目。提供微生物生理学，植物生物学，植物生理学，植物生物化学，分子寄生虫学，脊椎动物视觉生理学，环境微生物学，细胞和发育生物学，病毒学和比较基因组学等不同的跨学科研究项目。学生将熟悉，并有充分的机会，最先进的仪器内的蛋白质组学和功能基因组学核心设施在UW奥什科什。 为期2周的实验室课程将为学生提供必要的基本技能，以在他们的研究项目取得成功。学生的沟通技巧将通过他们的结果和研究小组会议，专业发展研讨会和期刊俱乐部的参与学生演示磨练。 还将包括其他活动，以确保小组的凝聚力和共事精神。本REU网站的具体目标是：1）为本科生提供及时和强大的方法学实践经验，这些方法定义了当今生命科学研究的前沿，2）通过增加蛋白质组学和功能基因组学基本技术培训的本科生人数，提高未来生命科学劳动力的全球竞争力，3）增加在高级生物学研究中追求事业的代表性不足的群体的成员数量，以及4）促进有抱负的科学家的多样化，大学研究社区的发展。 感兴趣的学生请访问http://reu.uwosh.edu，或联系托德桑德林博士（920-424-1104或sandrin@uwosh.edu）。

This award is funded by the Divisions of Chemistry and Biological Infrastructure at NSF. The University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh REU Site will select nine students every summer to participate in research projects with faculty mentors in the area of proteomics and functional genomics. Diverse, interdisciplinary research projects in microbial physiology, plant biology, plant physiology, plant biochemistry, molecular parasitology, vertebrate vision physiology, environmental microbiology, cell and developmental biology, virology, and comparative genomics are offered. Students will become familiar with, and have full access to, state-of-the-art instrumentation housed within the Proteomics and Functional Genomics Core Facility at UW Oshkosh. A 2-week lab course will provide students with the necessary set of basic skills to succeed in their research projects. Communication skills of students will be honed through student presentations of their results and participation in research group meetings, professional development seminars, and journal clubs. Additional activities will be included to ensure group cohesion and collegiality. The specific objectives of this REU Site are to: 1) provide undergraduates with practical experience in the timely and powerful methodologies that define the frontiers of life science research today, 2) increase the global competitiveness of tomorrow's life science workforce by augmenting the number of undergraduates trained in essential techniques in proteomics and functional genomics, 3) increase numbers of members of underrepresented groups pursuing careers in advanced biological research, and 4) foster development of diverse, collegial research communities of aspiring scientists. Interested students should visit http://reu.uwosh.edu, or contact Dr. Todd Sandrin (920-424-1104 or sandrin@uwosh.edu).
