Fernando Santos' project was "The Serine Kinase c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase (JNK) Contributes to Oxidant-Induced Insulin Resistance in Rat Skeletal Muscle" The University of Arizona's Undergraduate Biology Research Program (UBRP) is an educational program designed to teach students science by involving them in biologically related research. Students are paid for their time in the lab where they develop an understanding of scientific method and receive a realistic view of biological research. They also acquire the tools necessary to be successful in post-graduate studies in biology should they choose careers related to biology or biomedical research. UBRP demonstrates how the resources of a major research university can be brought to bear on undergraduate education.
