<p class="MsoNormal">Program Description<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This <a href="http://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/">National Science Foundation </a>sponsored 10-week program provides advanced training in the manipulation and analysis of proteins for undergraduate students. It facilitates deep understanding
of experimental laboratory research, insights into protein biochemistry and contemplation of the broader context of research. A wide range of student research projects mentored by faculty in the Department of Biochemistry is available. Examples include the
experimental analysis of enzyme mechanisms, post-translational protein modifications, proteomics, and protein-nucleic acid interactions studied in the biological context of cell cycle control, chromatin regulation and renewable energy research.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Problem-based modules presented during the first three days of the program introduce key concepts in protein biochemistry and experimental design. After this brief orientation, the program emphasizes full-time research supplemented with
weekly sessions on ethical conduct in research, professional communication, and the graduate school application process. At the end of the program students will present their results at a departmental symposium and a university-wide poster session.<o:p></o:p></p>
