Training and Experimentation in Computational Biology (TECBio)

美国匹兹堡大学获得本科生研究经验奖（REU），在2013-2016年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。这个计算生物学训练和实验（TECBio） REU项目的总体主题是“生物发现的多尺度建模、模拟和系统级分析”。TECBio的学生可以期待一个具有挑战性和充实的研究经验，这将为他们在研究生院的成功职业生涯做好准备。我们鼓励来自生活、物理、计算机科学和工程等各个方面的大三学生和大四学生，特别是来自小型学校和/或代表性不足背景的学生申请。TECBio的学生将从38位不同的研究导师中进行选择，他们的工作领域包括生物信息学，生物图像分析，计算药物发现，计算结构生物学和系统生物学。除了进行尖端研究外，TECBio的学生还将参加每周的期刊俱乐部，参加专门为该计划组织的研究和职业研讨会，参加指导他们负责任的研究行为的道德论坛，在匹兹堡范围内的年度研究研讨会上展示他们的工作，参观研究设施，如匹兹堡超级计算中心，体验美国最宜居城市匹兹堡的各种社会和文化活动。TECBio的学生也将在加强TECBio项目方面发挥积极作用，并将有几个机会，包括bio资助的REU pi可用的通用评估工具，以提供他们的反馈。项目完成后，TECBio的校友将继续接受项目主管和导师的指导，他们将与学生保持联系，帮助他们在刚开始的职业生涯中取得成功。更多信息可在www.tecbioreu.pitt.edu上找到，或联系PI （Joseph C.

A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to The University of Pittsburgh to provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 students, during the summers of 2013-2016. This Training and Experimentation in Computational Biology (TECBio) REU program has the overarching theme of "multiscale modeling, simulation, and systems-level analyses for biological discovery". TECBio students can expect a challenging and fulfilling research experience that will prepare them for a successful career in graduate school. Rising Juniors and Seniors from all facets of the life, physical, and computer sciences and engineering, and particularly those students from small school and/or underrepresented backgrounds, are encouraged to apply. TECBio students will select from a pool of 38 diverse research mentors, whose work cover areas that include bioinformatics, bioimage analysis, computational drug discovery, computational structural biology, and systems biology. In addition to performing cutting-edge research, TECBio students will participate in a weekly journal club, attend research and career seminars organized specifically for the program, take part in an ethics forum that will instruct them in the responsible conduct of research, present their work at a Pittsburgh-wide annual research symposium, tour research facilities such as the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, and experience the various social and cultural activities available in Pittsburgh - America's most livable city. TECBio students will also play an active role in enhancing the TECBio program and will have several opportunities, including the common assessment tool available to BIO-funded REU PIs to give their feedback. Following the completion of the program, TECBio alumni will receive continued mentoring by the program directors and mentors, who will maintain contact with students to help them establish and maintain success in their nascent careers.

Ayoob at jayoob@pitt.edu) or the co-PI (Dr. Chakra Chennubhotla at chakracs@pitt.edu).The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
