This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Rowan University funds student development and the advancement of interdisciplinary biomedical engineering and science research focusing on biomedical materials, devices, therapeutics, and emerging frontiers. The Site will provide opportunities for ten, diverse undergraduate participants each summer to conduct novel, cutting-edge research under the direction of faculty mentors from three colleges - the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering, the College of Science and Mathematics, and Rowan's Cooper School of Medicine - and eight academic departments, with the Department of Biomedical Engineering as the lead. Students will participate as a group in weekly seminars and workshops that provide comprehensive professional development and allow cross-cultivation of the individual research experience. This REU Site will advance the field and prepare students for future advanced careers in engineering and science relevant to medicine and healthcare and provide a holistic experience for development of strong research skills. Enhancing or improving quality of life and health benefits society and is a cross-cutting theme in the National Academy of Engineering's Grand Challenges for Engineering in the 21st Century.The goal of this REU Site is to provide undergraduates an exciting research experience that will prepare and motivate them for further education and careers in science and engineering as well as advance and support novel biomedical engineering and science research. The REU Site cohort will be a diverse group of undergraduate participants from four-year institutions and community colleges that have limited opportunity to engage in research activities. This REU site will be beneficial to the students' appreciation of interconnected and multi-disciplinary topics within the fields of science and engineering, understanding of related concepts between inter-related disciplines, presentation and problem solving skills, appreciation for life-long learning, and desire to pursue advanced studies and careers in science and engineering. Research projects will advance the field and be interdisciplinary in nature and will include biomaterials and tissue engineering, micro/nano systems and device development, regenerative medicine, biomolecule detection, medication development and evaluation, nanoparticle synthesis and development, and personalized medicine. Undergraduate and graduate student mentors from Rowan University will participate in the program and provide peer contacts.

罗文大学本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站资助学生发展以及跨学科生物医学工程和科学研究的进步，重点关注生物医学材料、设备、治疗和新兴前沿。该网站每年夏天将为十名不同的本科生参与者提供机会，在亨利·M·罗文工程学院、科学与数学学院和罗文库珀学院这三所学院的教师导师的指导下进行新颖的前沿研究医学院——及八个学部，以生物医学工程系为主导。学生将作为一个小组参加每周一次的研讨会和讲习班，这些研讨会和讲习班提供全面的专业发展并允许个人研究经验的交叉培养。该 REU 基地将推动该领域的发展，为学生未来在医学和医疗保健相关的工程和科学领域的高级职业做好准备，并为发展强大的研究技能提供全面的经验。提高或改善生活质量和健康有益于社会，是美国国家工程院 21 世纪工程重大挑战中的一个跨领域主题。该 REU 站点的目标是为本科生提供令人兴奋的研究体验，为他们做好准备并开展研究工作。激励他们在科学和工程领域继续接受教育和从事职业，并推进和支持新型生物医学工程和科学研究。 REU 站点群体将是来自四年制院校和社区学院的多元化本科生参与者，他们参与研究活动的机会有限。该 REU 网站将有利于学生欣赏科学和工程领域内相互关联和多学科的主题，理解相互关联的学科之间的相关概念，表达和解决问题的技能，欣赏终身学习，以及渴望在科学和工程领域继续深造和从事职业。研究项目将推动该领域的发展，本质上是跨学科的，包括生物材料和组织工程、微/纳米系统和设备开发、再生医学、生物分子检测、药物开发和评估、纳米颗粒合成和开发以及个性化医疗。罗文大学的本科生和研究生导师将参与该计划并提供同行联系。
