Delaware State University (DSU) will host a Research
Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in Molecular Genetics & Genomics
in Summer 2009. Students will work with research mentors in a 9-week
multidisciplinary summer research program. Students will be provided
stipends, meals, housing, and funds for travel to and from DSU. Using an
established network of faculty from DSU, Delaware Technical and Community
College (DTCC), Wesley College and the Delaware Biotechnology Institute
(DBI), ten students will be trained each summer in state-of-the-art
techniques in molecular biology and genomics. |
Activities will include workshops in lab techniques and
bioinformatics, ethics, and scientific communications skills. Interaction
between students as well as with various levels of researchers in academia,
government, and industry will be fostered. Students will get the opportunity to
work on specific research problems by interaction with the research mentors,
while developing capabilities to work both individually and as part of a team
with fellow students. The REU program will conclude with a Student
Research Symposium where REU students will present posters, and showcase their
summer research to other students, faculty, family, friends, high school
students and teachers.
