RES FACIL CONST: PROTEIN STRUCTURE, ARTIFICIAL ENDONUCLEASE, DRUG DESIGN

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求支持位于UI BSB四楼的生物化学系的不符合标准的研究实验室空间的重大翻新。分子生物物理学（PMB）的长期目标是促进分子生物物理学领域的基础生物医学研究，并加强对该学科和相关研究领域的研究生和博士后研究员的培训。PMB的具体目标是：1）在BSB的四楼为新的和建立的教师调查人员提供最先进的研究实验室，他们将参加PMB; 2）通过靠近他们的实验室，促进教师调查人员及其研究小组，包括研究生，博士后研究员和本科生之间的科学互动; 3）为研究互动和合作提供机会，既装修空间的占用者和来自其他部门的参与者在PMB;和4）开发一个研究环境，促进新的初级教师和少数民族科学家的指导由PMB的优秀高级教师。这个改造项目的总体目标是创造一个优秀的，互动的研究环境，在分子生物物理学的程序，提高研究生产力和职业发展的所有参与者在PMB。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support for major renovation of sub-standard research laboratory space in the Department of Biochemistry located on the fourth floor of the BSB at the UI. The long-term goals of this Program in Molecular Biophysics (PMB) are to facilitate basic biomedical research in the area of molecular biophysics and to enhance the training of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in this subject and related research areas. The specific goals of the PMB are: 1) to generate state-of-the-art research laboratories on the fourth floor of the BSB for new and established faculty investigators who will participate in the PMB; 2) to facilitate scientific interactions among faculty investigators and their research groups, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and undergraduates, by the close proximity of their laboratories; 3) to provide opportunities for research interactions and collaborations among both the occupants of the renovated space and the participants in the PMB from other departments; and 4) to develop a research environment that fosters the mentoring of new junior faculty members and minority scientists by outstanding senior faculty of the PMB. The overall objective of this renovation project is to create an excellent, interactive research environment for a program in molecular biophysics that enhances the research productivity and career development of all of the participants in the PMB.
