项目摘要

The Colorado State University Molecular Biosciences REU Site will provide a research program for undergraduates during the summer from 2009 through 2011. Ten students will be selected to participate in a 10-week program that exposes undergraduates to the broad range of research areas and approaches that constitute the modern discipline of biochemistry and molecular biology. Students will work with mentors from five departments. Students will be involved in their own research project where they learn how to formulate and test hypotheses, design and execute experiments, analyze results in the context of the hypothesis, and use state-of-the-art techniques and instrumentation. Interactions with faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professional research staff provide a mechanism for learning about the latest advances in biochemistry and molecular biology. Students receive a stipend, free housing in a university residence hall or apartment building, a meal allowance, and an allowance to defray travel to/from the site. At the end of the program, students present their research results orally and through a poster, and produce a final report in manuscript form. In addition to research, students are engaged in social activities such as white water rafting and hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. Field trips to nearby government labs and biotech companies as well as workshops on GRE preparation and scientific careers are also planned. Students with limited opportunities for research and those from groups under-represented in science are especially encouraged to apply. For further information, students may visit http://www.bmb.colostate.edu/reu.cfm, or contact Marti Stokes at 970-491-5602 or reubiochem@colostate.edu, or the Program Director, Paul Laybourn, at 970-491-5100 or Paul.Laybourn@colostate.edu.

科罗拉多州立大学分子生物科学 REU 站点将于 2009 年至 2011 年夏季为本科生提供一个研究项目。将选择 10 名学生参加为期 10 周的项目，让本科生接触广泛的研究领域和方法，这些领域和方法构成了生物化学和分子生物学的现代学科。学生将与来自五个系的导师一起工作。学生将参与自己的研究项目，学习如何制定和测试假设、设计和执行实验、在假设的背景下分析结果以及使用最先进的技术和仪器。与教师、研究生、博士后和专业研究人员的互动提供了一种了解生物化学和分子生物学最新进展的机制。学生可以获得津贴、大学宿舍或公寓楼的免费住宿、膳食津贴以及往返学校的交通津贴。在课程结束时，学生口头和通过海报展示他们的研究成果，并以手稿形式提交最终报告。除了研究之外，学生还参加社交活动，例如在落基山国家公园漂流和徒步旅行。还计划对附近的政府实验室和生物技术公司进行实地考察，并举办有关 GRE 准备和科学职业的研讨会。特别鼓励研究机会有限的学生和来自科学领域代表性不足的群体的学生申请。如需了解更多信息，学生可以访问 http://www.bmb.colostate.edu/reu.cfm，或联系 Marti Stokes，电话 970-491-5602 或 reubiochem@colostate.edu，或项目总监 Paul Laybourn，电话 970 -491-5100 或 Paul.Laybourn@colostate.edu。
