Summer 2008Option #2The faculty listed below have indicated a willingness to mentor undergraduate research projects during this upcoming summer. Separate lists are provided for faculty to support students and for students who would need to provide their own support, or do research on a volunteer basis. If you are interested in contacting a particular faculty member about their research, please contact them directly (email or web) after viewing their website.The following faculty members have indicated that they can provide mentoring and financial support for a summer undergraduate project in their lab: David P. Ballou, Ph.D. Mechanisms of biological redox reactions and reactions with oxygen, especially metalloproteins and flavoproteins; physical and chemical studies, including rapid reaction techniques and instrumentation development. Biological Chemistry. Biophysics. Kentaro Nabeshima, Ph.D. Mechanisms of the chromosome dynamics in meiosis with the primary focus on the establishment of the association between homologous chromosomes. Cell and Developmental Biology. Lab: http://www.med.umich.edu/cdb/sub_pages/People/nabeshima.html Elizabeth M. Petty, MD Molecular genetics of solid tumor development; translation of molecular genetic discoveries to clinical applications; medical ethics. Cellular & Molecular Biology. Human Genetics. Stephen W. Ragsdale, Ph.D. We are studying the microbial metabolism of one-carbon compounds (CO, CO 2 , methane) and xenobiotics (e.g., PCBs); oxygen sensing in the human carotid body; and the roles of metal ions in biology, including the mechanisms of nickel, B 12 , heme, and iron-sulfur enzymes. We use transient and steady-state kinetics, spectroscopy, and molecular biology to uncover mechanistic information. Biological Chemistry. Chemical Biology. |
