Environmental Toxicology

超出所提供的空间。环境毒理学少数民族暑期研究经验的主要目标是为五名学生提供积极参与正在进行的研究项目的机会。学生将有“动手”的责任，在研究项目中，在9周的时间内可以得到合理的结论，并将花费85%的时间在实验室。环境毒理学的研究机会在异种生物的代谢和运输、卤代烃的毒性机制、氧化应激诱导毒性机制、DNA修复和诱变、神经毒理学和免疫毒理学等专业领域提供。学生将与毒理学研究生中心的核心和联合学院的教师一起工作，他们也是T32环境毒理学NIEHS培训补助金的培训资助教师（总共30名教师）。学生将从波多黎各大学（UPR）招募，作为普遍定期审议学生项目的延续，该项目由肯塔基大学（英国）和普遍定期审议在过去三个夏天共同赞助。我们将继续与普遍定期审议医学校区环境与毒理学研究中心主任Braulio Jimenez博士合作，确定和招募暑期项目的学生。申请人将被要求提供他们的学生成绩单，并将由Jimenez博士面试；最好的候选人将提交他们的成绩单，一篇描述他们的研究兴趣和他们希望在毒理学工作的原因的文章，以及一封推荐信。Vore博士和另外三名培训资助委员会成员将审查候选人，并选出前五名。该小组还将申请人的兴趣与那些能够在任何给定的夏季与学生一起工作的教师相匹配。Vore博士将在项目期间和结束时密切监测学生和导师的满意度。学生们将参加一系列研讨会，讨论他们的研究，并听取有关动物和伦理在研究中的使用以及如何为研究生院做准备的演讲。最后，学生将对他们的研究成果进行15分钟的演讲和讨论。网站性能 ======================================== 节结束 ===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. The primary objective of the Minority Summer Research Experience in Environmental Toxicology is to provide five students with an opportunity to participate actively in an ongoing research project. Students will have "hands- on" responsibilities in research projects in which reasonable conclusions can be obtained in a 9-week period, and will spend 85% of their time in the laboratory. Research opportunities in Environmental Toxicology are available in the specialty areas of metabolism and transport of xenobiotics, mechanisms of toxicity of halogenated hydrocarbons, mechanisms of oxidative stress-induced toxicity, DNA repair and mutagenesis, neurotoxicology and immunotoxicology. Students will work with faculty who are Core and Joint Faculty in the Graduate Center for Toxicology who are also Training Grant Faculty on the T32 Environmental Toxicology NIEHS Training Grant (a total of 30 faculty). Students will be recruited from the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) as the continuation of a program for students from UPR which has been cosponsored by the University of Kentucky (UK) and UPR for the last three summers. We will continue to work with Dr. Braulio Jimenez, the Director of the Center for Environmental and Toxicological Research at the Medical Sciences Campus of UPR to identify and recruit students for the summer program. Applicants will be asked to provide their student transcripts and will be interviewed by Dr. Jimenez; the best candidates will send their transcripts, an essay describing their research interests and why they wish to work in Toxicology, and one letter of recommendation. Dr. Vore and 3 additional members of the Training Grant Faculty will review the candidates, and select the top five. This group will also match the interests of the applicants with those faculty who are able to work with the students in any given summer. Dr. Vore will closely monitor the satisfaction of the students and mentors during and at the end of the program. Students will attend a seminar series in which they discuss their research, and hear presentations on the use of animals and ethics in research, and how to prepare for Graduate School. Finally, students will make a 15 minute presentation and discussion of their research results.
