Maine Idea Network of Biomedical 研究 Excellence
的 Maine Idea Network of Biomedical 研究 Excellence (INBRE) strengthens Maine’s capacity to conduct competitive biomedical research. It is a collaborative network of Maine educational and research institutions led by the MDI Biological Laboratory and sponsored by the National Institute of General Medical 科学s (NIGMS) of the National Institutes of 健康 (NIH).
缅因州INBRE members also include Bates College, 鲍登学院, 科尔比学院, College of the Atlantic, 的 Jackson Laboratory, Southern Maine Community College, the University of Maine, the Universities of Maine at Farmington, 肯特堡, Machias, 和普雷斯克岛, and the University of New England.
缅因州INBRE focuses on the following three areas:
- Creating a technically skilled workforce in Maine through biomedical research training for undergraduates.
- Providing research support to young faculty to increase their competitiveness for federal (NIH) biomedical research grants.
- Improving the research infrastructure available to INBRE institutions through a collaborative network of core facilities with state-of-the-art equipment.
Summer 研究 Fellowship program
的 INBRE Summer 研究 Fellowship (SURF) program provides undergraduate students with a mentored, hands-on biomedical research experience at one of the participating network institutions. Working in the laboratory of an investigator on an independent project designed by the you and your mentor, you can develop laboratory techniques in molecular biology, 生理学, and bioinformatics. Projects focus on a research question in functional genomics and use a variety of comparative models such as such as zebrafish, 果蝇, 美西螈, 和C. 线虫. 的 summer research experience culminates in a student symposium at the MDI Biological Laboratory where your present your research results to peers and faculty from around the state.
