Centers & Programs
The mission of the
center is to develop cutting-edge methodologies and approaches for emerging
metabolomic and system biochemical research. This area of research has the
promise of revolutionizing biological research in the21st century for the
ability to resolve biological complexity. Thus, metabolomic development will
find applications in a broad array of pressing societal problems ranging from
human health, biotechnology, to environmental pollution and ecosystem health.
This program is a collaborative effort between the University of Louisville (UofL) and the
Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) that partners mathematics and science
faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students from the College of Arts and
Sciences, mathematics and science educators from the College of Education and
Human Development (CEHD), mathematics and science specialists from JCPS, and
teachers from six Title I elementary schools. In each school there will be a
six-member GEMS team composed of two science teachers, two mathematics teachers,
a science Fellow, and a mathematics Fellow. As the teams implement inquiry-based
instruction each will be supported by two UofL content faculty members and two
pedagogy mentors from CEHD and/or JCPS specialists.
