 A Letter from the Chancellor 
May 18, 2013
Dear Colleagues and Guests,
Welcome to the 20th annual University of California, Irvine Undergraduate Research
Symposium, a day dedicated to the students who have chosen to broaden their
education by conducting faculty-mentored research projects and creative activities.
Today’s theme, “Undergraduate Research: Passion and Values,” highlights the
dedication and integrity that are critical elements of the research process. Making
these elements a part of the undergraduate experience is one of the foundations of
the educational culture at UC Irvine.
I invite you to spend the day experiencing for yourself the undergraduate research
being shared with us today. The research projects and creative activities that
students are presenting demonstrate the breadth of subjects being explored throughout the campus, while the depth
of the students’ research is shown in their presentations’ precision and profound conclusions. To the students who
have pursued their research passions throughout their projects I offer my congratulations for a job well done; I
know that the skills and values they have learned will serve them well as they pursue their future goals. I also offer
my sincere appreciation to the faculty mentors who have shepherded them through their projects; their dedication to
the next generation of leaders, innovators and scholars is apparent in their students’ successes.
Finally, I offer my profound thanks to the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program team for organizing this
symposium and for its continuing efforts to foster undergraduate research at UC Irvine. This year marks the
publication of Volume XV of The UCI Undergraduate Research Journal, a sampling of the most outstanding
undergraduate research projects presented at last year’s symposium. UC Irvine’s commitment to undergraduate
research is a national model for how a research university can effectively enhance its undergraduates’ educational
experience.
To further celebrate UC Irvine’s commitment to research, it is my distinct pleasure to sponsor the Chancellor’s
Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research. This award—a 17-year tradition—recognizes the dedication and
contributions of one student and faculty member from each school. Along with the entire UC Irvine community, I
offer my congratulations to this year’s talented recipients. Congratulations also to all the dedicated students and
faculty mentors who are participating in the 2013 UC Irvine Undergraduate Research Symposium.
Thank you for joining us at today’s symposium as we celebrate the passion and accomplishments of our
undergraduate researchers. I hope you find your day to be exciting and inspiring.
Sincerely,
Michael V. Drake, M.D.
Chancellor

 A Welcome from Underg raduate Education 
May 18, 2013
Dear UC Irvine Community Members and Guests:
Welcome to the 20th annual UC Irvine Undergraduate Research Symposium. This event celebrates the hard work
and dedication of today’s presenters in carrying out faculty-mentored research projects and creative activities. This
year’s theme, “Undergraduate Research: Passion and Values,” highlights the drive that has propelled these students
to pursue their work and the personal qualities nurtured and developed by their mentors through their research
journeys.
The scale of today’s event—with almost 600 projects, presented by close to 950 students, mentored by just under
400 faculty—provides you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the research culture that is such an important part
of an undergraduate education at UC Irvine. Whether you devote yourself to examining multiple facets of a single
field or exploring a range of topics, you are sure to be excited by the quality of these students’ accomplishments.
A host of contributors helped make this day possible. We especially thank the faculty mentors, whose passion for
their own work serves as an inspiration for our students. We are enormously grateful, as well, to the many volunteers
who have worked hard to ensure the Symposium’s success.
The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) in the Division of Undergraduate Education assists
UC Irvine’s students by facilitating and recognizing their involvement in faculty-mentored undergraduate research
and creative activities. As the organizer of today’s symposium, UROP has provided research assistance and funding
to many of today’s presenters. UROP programs also include advising undergraduate students about on- and offcampus research opportunities, and publishing The UCI Undergraduate Research Journal, an annual
multidisciplinary publication. In addition, the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) provides students
with the opportunity to immerse themselves into a research project or creative activity under the guidance of UC
Irvine faculty members. UROP has also collaborated with other units on campus to sponsor undergraduate research
programs emphasizing multidisciplinary design, as well as research in biophotonics, health promotion and disease
prevention, information technology, cardiovascular research, chemistry, and micro/nano technologies. This year,
UROP has further expanded its offerings with the launching of the International Summer Undergraduate Research
Fellowship (I-SURF), which encourages international students to come to the United States to conduct summer
research under the guidance of UC Irvine faculty mentors.
Thank you for joining us for today. We hope you are inspired by the efforts and accomplishments of the student
presenters and celebrate with us their research excellence.
Sincerely,
Sharon V. Salinger
Dean, Division of Undergraduate Education

 Keynote Speaker 
Bruce Blumberg, Ph.D.
Professor of Developmental & Cell Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and
Biomedical Engineering
Bruce Blumberg received the Ph.D. from UCLA in 1987 where he studied the
molecular biology and biochemistry of basement membranes. His postdoctoral
training was in the molecular embryology of vertebrate development with Eddy De
Robertis at UCLA from 1988–1992. Dr. Blumberg trained in molecular endocrinology
as a Staff Scientist at the Salk Institute with Ron Evans in 1992, where he led the
effort to identify new hormones that act through so-called orphan nuclear receptors.
He joined the faculty at UC Irvine in 1998, where he is currently Professor of
Developmental and Cell Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Biomedical
Engineering at UC Irvine.
Dr. Blumberg’s research focuses on the role of nuclear hormone receptors in development, physiology and disease.
Particular interests concern the early patterning of the vertebrate nervous system, and the links between exposure to
environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals and the development of cancer and obesity. He proposed the
obesogen hypothesis, which holds that exposure to chemical obesogens can reprogram metabolism to favor the
storage of excess fat, despite normal diet and exercise, and has recently shown that prenatal exposure to such
obesogens can have permanent effects on the exposed individuals, their children and grandchildren. Dr. Blumberg
was appointed as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2012.
Dr. Blumberg is passionate about involving undergraduates directly in his research. In his 14 years at UC Irvine, 57
undergraduate students have trained in his laboratory of whom 15 were underrepresented minorities and 49 were
female. Twenty-four of these undergraduates have been supported by UROP-sponsored programs, 15 have been
awarded “Excellence in Research” by the School of Biological Sciences, 16 have gone on to co-author papers in high
impact scholarly journals, and three have published in The UCI Undergraduate Research Journal.

Advanced Field Study
Doheny Beach A, 8:30 AM
The Advanced Field Study (AFS) course sequence in the School of Social Ecology offers a small number of undergraduate
students an in-depth, three-quarter field study experience focused on civic and community engagement. Students work
together with a local community, government, or business organization to prepare a professional research client report which
helps the organization better understand the social or community problems it hopes to address, helps inform the organization’s
strategic goals, and/or helps enhance the organization’s operations or services. Students draw upon academic training, local
insights of people living and working in the community, personal reflections, and in-class discussions to guide these problemsolving efforts and other civic education experiences. AFS embodies the School of Social Ecology’s commitment to engaged
scholarship, developing interdisciplinary approaches to social problems, and improving and making positive and lasting
contributions to the communities we serve.
Each student in the 2012–2013 inaugural class of AFS worked through the year with public sector and non-profit organizations
in the City of Santa Ana, California, a largely low-income and Hispanic community. Students gained comparative perspectives
about the range of challenges and opportunities in this community through class exercises and discussions of their field study
experiences and research project.
