A Joint Computational/Experimental Biomedical Summer Research Program for Undergr

描述（由申请人提供）：一个独特的为期十周的计划，每年夏天为10名学生提出了五年。这项研究经验的新方面是建立了成功的联合计算和实验NIH支持的项目在迪克讷。夏季研究计划将包括一个计算研讨会，学生将接受培训，使用最先进的软件和硬件来解决生物医学问题。剩下的九个星期将发现学生在实验研究实验室工作的研究项目，结合计算。例如，一个学生将在药物化学家的实验室工作，合成新的化合物，这些化合物是基于他们进行的对接计算而提出的。由于所有的暑期研究项目都将有理论和实验部分，学生将有望与实验和理论导师一起发展他们的学生与教授的沟通技巧。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A unique ten-week program is proposed for 10 students per summer for five years. The novel aspect of this research experience is to build off the successful joint computational and experimental NIH supported projects at Duquesne. The summer research program will be comprised of a computational workshop in which the students will be trained to use state-of-the- art software and hardware to solve biomedical problems. The remaining nine weeks will find the students in an experimental research laboratory working on a research project that incorporates computations. For example a student will be working in a medicinal chemists laboratory synthesizing new compounds that have been suggested based on docking calculations they had performed. Since all summer research projects will have theoretical and experimental components, the students will be expected to develop their student-professor communication skills with both the experimental and theoretical mentors.
