A BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM WITH STUDENT PARTICIPATION

该计划在生物医学研究的总体目标，以提高 学生和教师在这些课程中获得的课程和经验 与卫生领域直接或间接相关的领域。 程序 将通过以下方式实现这些成就：1）提供更好的机会 发起或扩大主要教职员工的研究活动 负责培养生命科学领域的学生， 心理学; 2）丰富的经验和技术诀窍， 学生在健康相关领域; 3）增加的兴趣 学生在健康科学作为一种职业选择，从而增加了 符合条件的少数民族学生参与生物医学， 医疗或相关卫生专业; 4）通过特定的培训 生物医学方法学的本科生和研究生， 在选定的生物医学研究问题中使用仪器;以及5） 最终发表和/或介绍研究成果。 具体而言，该计划的目标将通过生物医学 由参与的教师和学生进行的项目。 项目 包括发育毒理学、水产养殖、生物反馈 神经生物学、物理化学、酶学和酶调节， 寄生虫学 要研究的问题涉及a）描述性的 五氯苯酚在某些无脊椎动物中的毒理学，B）五氯苯酚的生物反馈控制 自主反射，c）与 DNA，d）马蹄蟹中的神经递质研究，e） 免疫组织化学研究，f）电子显微镜研究 鲎的神经系统和阿米巴的细胞壁，g） 艾滋病感染的计算机建模和心理健康考虑， 锥虫病和这种寄生虫的分子生物学，j）影响 对神经肽和其他神经递质的药理作用， （k）生物医学伦理学。

The general objectives of the program in Biomedical Research to enhance offerings to, and experiences gained by the students and faculty in those areas related directly and indirectly to the health fields. The program will enable these accomplishments by: 1) providing better opportunities for initiating or expanding research activities of key faculty members who are responsible for training students in the life sciences and psychology; 2) enriching the experiences and technical know how of students in the health related areas; 3) increasing the interest of students in the health sciences as a career option, thus increasing the pool of eligible minority students for involvement in a Biomedical, Medical, or Allied Health Profession; 4) by specific training of undergraduate and graduate students in biomedical methodology and instrumentation usage in selected biomedical research problems; and 5) to culminate in publication and/or presentation of research findings. Specifically, the aims of the program will be pursued through biomedical projects conducted by participating faculty and students. Projects include developmental toxicology, aquatic mariculture, biofeedback, neurobiology, physical chemistry, enzymology and enzymatic regulation, and parasitology. The problems to be studied involve a) descriptive toxicology of PCP's in selected invertebrates, b) biofeedback control of autonomic reflexes, c) mechanistic toxicology of drugs that complex with DNA, d) neurotransmitter studies in the horseshoe crab, e) immunohistochemical studies, f) electron micrographic studies of the horseshoe crab's nervous system and the cell wall of Acanthamoeba, g) computer modeling and mental health considerations of the AIDS infection, trypanosomiasis and the molecular biology of this parasite, j) the effect of pharmacological agents on neuropeptides and other neurotransmitters, and k) biomedical ethics.
