Summer science program attracts non-KU students
By Matthew Friedrichs Kansas editor
Research opportunity offers valuable experience, exposure
Angle Anderson is studying flagella — the limbs on cells.
The senior from Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Mich., is working in a lab for Bill Dentler, professor of molecular biosciences.
Anderson and a select group of undergraduates from other universities and colleges are receiving stipends and room and board while conducting research in the chemistry, molecular biosciences and pharmaceutical chemistry departments at the University of Kansas this summer.
The KU departments involved send brochures about their programs to interested students and faculty at other universities hoping to attract academically talented undergraduates seeking lab experience.
The experience is giving Anderson an opportunity to evaluate her graduate school and career plans.
"The research experience for undergraduates is designed to attract people to careers in science," said Peter Gegenheimer, associate professor of molecular biosciences.
The temporary research assistants are paid with National Science Foundation grants and departmental funds.
As she carefully prepared samples to be scanned in an electron microscope, she commented on what she had learned.
"Here, compared to my home college, there's more pressure to get results," she said.
The flagella she's studying have been broken into smaller pieces in a chemical solution. She touches samples of flagella from algae cells to tiny droplets of water and to droplets of a luminescent yellow dye. The samples are then placed on a copper grid.
When she examines them under the microscope, she observes whether protein in the flagella has been regenerated during the life of the cell.
Her project is a small piece of a much larger examination of the genes that tell limbs — arms and legs — how long they're supposed to grow and when to stop growing.
She said her future plans included graduate school and a job in the biotechnology industry.
Those are the types of decisions that summer
Siahana coordinates his department's summer program for students from other campuses. He said that some past students had used the experience to decide not attend graduate school.
research should help undergraduate students make, said Teruna Siahaan, associate professor of pharmaceutical chemistry.

Others, including four last year, decide to apply to the University.
Gegenheimer said that the program was not explicitly viewed as a recruitment for the University, but that the exposure had been invaluable.
Anderson and her fellow undergraduate researchers are staying at Templin hall for the summer.
They will finish in July and present their results to one another during a poster session.
