  2. Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Tropical Medicine, The George Washington University • Departmentof Molecular Biology, Lomonosov Moscow State University

  3. GWU MSU

  4. Strengths and Weaknesses of Biology Education at GWU and MSU MSU StrengthsWeaknesses A 5-year program Lack of sufficient with early instruction on data specialization; presentation, detailed and manuscript and elaborate lecture grant preparation and laboratory courses; focus on basic principles of experimental approaches GWU StrengthsWeaknesses Comprehensive Insufficient emphasis lecture courses: on teaching students cell and molecular how to solve technical biology; suborga- problems in nismal and experimental work organismal biology; ecology and evolution

  5. Goals of the Program • To providestudents and facultyat MSU and GWUwith an opportunity to visit the partner institution to improve language skills, learn about educational and research approaches, participate in seminars and research activities • To develop a method to reduce identified deficiencies in biotechnology education and preparation of students as independent researchers in US and Russian universities • To test this method on a limited number of GWU and MSU students participating in this Program

  6. Activities in 2009-2010 • Three MSU undergraduate students visited GWU • 2. Dr. Bukrinsky visited MSU: meeting students, describing the program and opportunities • 3. Drs. Bukrinsky and Silver to participate in the Program Directors Meeting at in Moscow (June 2010). • 4.
