Furthering the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, discovering how to preserve blood, laying the mathematical foundations for the theory of genetic evolution—the University of Chicago Biological Sciences Division is a leader in these and many other areas of research. This summer, learn the techniques used in leading-edge biological research in lab facilities at a premier research university.

进一步促进癌症的诊断和治疗，发现如何保存血液，为基因进化理论奠定数学基础——芝加哥大学生物科学部是这些研究领域和许多其他研究领域的领导者。今年夏天，在一所顶级研究型大学的先进的实验室设施中学习生物吧！

On a space-available basis, students who excel in the program are invited back the following year to work in the lab of a University of Chicago research scientist.

在这个项目中表现优秀的学生还有机会在下一年里被邀请返回芝加哥大学的实验室工作。

项目介绍

【项目名称】:RESEARCH IN THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES (RIBS)

【主办机构】:芝加哥大学

【项目时间】:2018年6月18日-7月13日（四周）

【适合年级】:当前10-11年级

【课程介绍】:

This four-week intensive training program is designed to expose students to a broad range of molecular, microbiological, and cell biological techniques currently used in research laboratories. Students are immersed in the research experience, giving them a taste of "life at the bench". Using a project-based approach, the course progresses from a survey of basic lab techniques to the application of current molecular techniques in developmental biology and microbiology. Most of a typical RIBS day is spent in lab.

这个为期四周的强化培训项目旨在让学生接触目前在生物实验室中使用的各种分子生物学，微生物和细胞生物学技术。 学生们沉浸在生物科研中，让他们体验“坐在板凳上的生活”。 该课程采用基于项目的教学方法，从对基本的生物实验技术的调查到目前的分子生物学技术在发育生物学和微生物学中的应用。 典型的RIBS日的大部分时间都花在实验室中。

学生评论

“I liked being able to apply knowledge -- just the act of doing lab work and carrying out experiments based on things we just learned made everything make much more sense, and vice versa, when we carried out experiments and then learned how it worked and what its purpose was. That was cool.”

Jennifer W., University of Chicago Lab Schools, Chicago, IL

“It’s a rare opportunity for high school students to be able to choose the topic they want to research and design the experiment as well.”

Jahyung L., Mercersburg Academy, Mercersburg, Pennsylvania
