REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Biology: Cellular Stress PhysiologyThe Pepperdine University summer undergraduate research program facilitates the professional maturation of a minimum of 8 undergraduate students annually as biological scientists by immersing them in an interactive, 11-week session of original research activities, thematically-linked via cellular stress physiology. Students design and pursue projects utilizing a wide range of cellular and organismal systems, e.g., yeast, mammalian cells in tissue culture, amphibian epidermal tissue, and xylem vessel elements in higher plants. Faculty-mentors in plant physiological ecology, cellular biology, molecular biology, developmental biology, or neurobiology provide support, supervision, and training, as well as facilitate community outreach. Visiting scientists hold research seminars and critique student projects. Past participants in the summer program provide peer mentoring and modeling. The formal program concludes each year with a written paper, student research symposium, student poster session, and celebratory banquet. Follow-up activities include the opportunity to mentor middle school students enrolled in a campus-based Science Camp, professional presentations, and submission of research results for publication. Broader impact: Student recruitment by the Pepperdine University summer undergraduate research program emphasizes minority applicants, community college students from greater Los Angeles, and other colleges with limited research opportunities. Project findings are disseminated widely to schoolchildren at an open house, to university administration and parents at a poster session, and to local parkland managers and research scientists at a final student-led symposium. Students communicate their findings at regional, national and international conferences.

REU 网站：生物学本科生研究：细胞应激生理学佩珀代因大学暑期本科生研究计划每年至少让 8 名本科生作为生物科学家，让他们沉浸在为期 11 周的互动式原创研究活动中，以促进他们的专业成熟，主题为：通过细胞应激生理学联系起来。学生设计和开展利用广泛的细胞和有机系统的项目，例如酵母、组织培养中的哺乳动物细胞、两栖动物表皮组织和高等植物中的木质部导管元件。植物生理生态学、细胞生物学、分子生物学、发育生物学或神经生物学领域的教师导师提供支持、监督和培训，并促进社区外展。访问科学家举办研究研讨会并对学生项目进行评论。暑期项目的过去参与者提供同伴指导和建模。正式项目每年以书面论文、学生研究研讨会、学生海报会议和庆祝宴会结束。后续活动包括有机会指导参加校园科学营的中学生、专业演讲以及提交研究成果以供出版。更广泛的影响：佩珀代因大学夏季本科生研究项目的招生重点是少数族裔申请者、来自大洛杉矶地区的社区学院学生以及其他研究机会有限的学院。 项目研究结果在开放日向学童广泛传播，在海报会议上向大学管理人员和家长广泛传播，在学生主导的最终研讨会上向当地公园管理者和研究科学家广泛传播。 学生在地区、国家和国际会议上交流他们的发现。
