MBRS PROGRAM

该方案的目标是： 1.促进和鼓励各部门的生物医学研究， 生物科学和化学; a.加强生物学神经科学研究重点领域。阿松医生- Batres（嗅觉组织的分化）将加入其他四个学院 成员（Drs. A.黑剪，M.艾薇R纽柯克和B华盛顿）谁 正在进行神经科学研究。第六人（第六人） 1998年增加）将对尖端生物医学研究产生重大影响 在生物科学系; B.建立微生物生物学的第二个研究重点领域。的 Ganter博士和Ejiofor/约翰逊博士的子项目将构成该项目的核心。 重点领域。在未来四年，各部门将努力 这个小组的规模与神经科学小组相当; C.在化学领域建立生物医学研究重点领域（陈博士， Karim和Lee;以及 D.加强生物学的学术和研究能力， 化学博士学位生物学学位课程。 2.支持解决少数群体两个主要问题的研究 人口-艾滋病和老年人健康问题。 3.促进生物医学研究作为学生可行的职业选择， 为他们提供有意义的研究经验。

The objectives of this program are to: 1. Promote and encourage biomedical research in the departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry; a. Strengthen neuroscience research focus areas in biology. Dr. Asson- Batres (differentiation of olfactory tissue) will join four other faculty members (Drs. A. Blackshear, M. Ivy, R Newkirk, and B. Washington) who have ongoing research in neuroscience. This group (sixth person to be added in 1998) will have great impact on cutting edge biomedical research in the Department of Biological Sciences; b. Establish a second research focus area in microbial biology. The subprojects of Drs. Ganter and Ejiofor/johnson will form the core of this focus area. Over the next four years, departmental efforts will be to make this group comparable in size to the neuroscience group; c. Establish a biomedical research focus area in Chemistry (Drs. Chen, Karim, and Lee; and d. Strengthen the academic and research capabilities in biology and chemistry in anticipation of a Ph.D. degree program in biology. 2. Support research that addresses two major concerns among minority populations--AIDS and health problems of the elderly. 3. Promote biomedical research as a viable career option for students and provide meaningful research experience for them.
