MBRS PROGRAM

该计划的目标是： 1.促进和鼓励以下部门的生物医学研究 生物科学和化学； 加强生物学中的神经科学研究重点领域。阿森博士- 巴特雷斯(嗅觉组织分化)将加入其他四个教职 成员(A·布莱克谢尔博士、M·艾维博士、R·纽柯克博士和B·华盛顿博士) 有正在进行的神经科学研究。这组人(第六人 1998年增加)将对尖端生物医学研究产生重大影响 生物科学系； B.建立微生物生物学的第二个研究重点领域。这个 Ganter博士和Ejiofor/Johnson博士的子项目将构成该项目的核心 焦点区域。在未来四年，部门将致力于 这一组的规模与神经科学组相当； C.在化学领域建立生物医学研究重点领域(陈博士， 卡里姆和李；以及 D.加强生物学和生物科学方面的学术和研究能力 生物博士学位课程中的化学专业。 2.支持解决少数群体两大关切问题的研究 人口--艾滋病和老年人的健康问题。 3.推动生物医学研究成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.
