They will work under faculty supervision in laboratories at JMU, 91大神 and BC from May 21 through July 27, 2007. <\/p>\n<p> Students should apply to the program director, Dr. Terrie Rife, assistant professor of biology at JMU. Applicants must have at least one year of college-level chemistry, one year of college-level biology and a grade point average of at least 2.75. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The goal is for each student to develop independence as a researcher by conducting his\/her own research project, gaining skills in the laboratory, being exposed to the primary literature, participating in scientific presentations and discussions,&#8221; Dr. Rife said. <\/p>\n<p> Stephen Cessna, associate professor of chemistry at 91大神, said the project is unique in that the students&#8217; focus will be molecular biology &#8211; what can be done with DNA &#8211; and will &#8220;provide research opportunities for students who aren&#8217;t enrolled at major research universities. <\/p>\n<div class=\"photo right\" style=\"width: 150px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" alt=\"Greta Herin\" src=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/humanresources\/personnel\/images\/gh497.jpg\" \/> Greta Herin <\/div>\n<p> &#8220;It will be mentored research with close faculty-student interaction,&#8221; Dr. Cessna said. In addition to research, there will be frequent opportunities for seminars and guest speakers in cohort settings and social programs &#8211; including a canoe trip &#8211; to help students develop camaraderie with peers and mentors and more deeply appreciate the broad use of molecular biology tools. <\/p>\n<p> The program will conclude with a poster session in which the students present their research findings. Ultimately, the students may be invited to present their research at a regional or national scientific meeting. <\/p>\n<p> Dr. Greta Ann Herrin, assistant professor of biology, will be 91大神&#8217;s faculty participant. <\/p>\n<p> Half of the students will be selected from JMU, 91大神 and BC, with the others coming from other colleges and universities across Virginia and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>91大神 will participate with two other local schools &#8211;
