Molecular Cloning (in-person!)
Students will engage in theoretical and hands-on experiences addressing core practices in biotechnology. In particular, students will gain proficiency in terms of Students will demonstrate proficiency in the use of PCR technology. Students will also demonstrate an understanding of how molecular cloning is used in synthetic biology and will gain novice proficiency in molecular cloning techniques (as defined by the NIH competencies proficiency scale).
1st week: Students will demonstrate proficiency in the use of PCR technology.
2nd week: Students will demonstrate an understanding of how molecular cloning is used in synthetic biology and will gain novice proficiency in molecular cloning techniques (as defined by the NIH competencies proficiency scale).
All led by Professor Megan DeLivron at Gateway Community College!
