>UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH IN MOLECULAR BIOSCIENCES
>http://www.bmb.colostate.edu
>COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
>SUMMER 2004 [JUNE 1ST THROUGH AUGUST 6TH]
>
>PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
>The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Colorado State
>University, with financial support from the National Science foundation,
>offers qualified undergraduates an opportunity to pursue independent research
>projects in biochemistry and molecular biology. Student research projects
>include analyses of gene expression, chromatin structure/function,
>characterization and manipulation of proteins, molecular architecture of the
>cell, molecular biology of tumor viruses, molecular bases for differentiation
>of neurons, molecular mechanisms of ion channels in heart muscle contraction,
>protein folding and structure/function, and developmental mechanisms. A
>capsule description of these and other projects is attached. For a more
>complete description, visit our Web site (http://www.bmb.colostate.edu). On
>our Web site, click Undergraduate on the left side menu bar and then click the
>REU program link on that page. Alternatively, you can click on the pull down
>menu at the top center under "apply" and go directly to the REU page. Students
>will be involved in exciting and interesting projects at the very edge of our
>current knowledge in these areas. They will learn how to formulate and test
>hypotheses, how to problem-solve and
>troubleshoot, and how to use state-of-the-
>art techniques and instrumentation including NMR and Xray crystallography. A
>significant number of participants in this program have published the results
>of their projects in scientific journals. The ten-week summer program places
>the student with a faculty mentor in whose lab the student's research project
>will be pursued. The student participates fully in the life of the mentor's
>lab. In addition, there are informal meetings of all program participants to
>exchange information on the research being done and to discuss areas of
>biochemistry/molecular biology that are of particular interest and excitement.
>There are also weekly meetings at which various scientists describe the latest
>advances in their own research or career opportunities in biomedical or
>biotechnology fields. Informal evening or weekend social, recreational, and
>cultural events with program participants and faculty provide for
>relaxation. The summer experience is capped by a mini-symposium at which
>program participants present a poster/report on their project and receive
>certificates of completion for the program. Participants are also encouraged
>to apply for the International Internship, usually conducted in the following
>summer (see enclosed information; an application will be made available to
>those chosen for the REU Program).
>
>STIPENDS, TRAVEL AND LIVING ALLOWANCE
>Students receive a stipend of $3200 for the ten-week summer program. In
>addition, the program provides double-occupancy modern dormitory
>accommodations, a full meals plan, and a travel allowance of up to $350. The
>costs of some optional planned recreational activities [e.g. whitewater
>rafting] are borne by the student.
>
>REQUIREMENTS FOR AND METHOD OF APPLICATION
