In this hands-on laboratory course students are introduced to the scientific method, key biotechnology methodologies, and data analysis through their participation in an ongoing molecular research project(s) conducted by the Biotechnology Program called the “Grand Project.” The research and training emphasis will be on gene structure and function and the analysis of gene expression using the electrophoresis-based methodologies: Western-, Northern-, and Southern-blot hybridization analysis. Students will also be introduced to mammalian cell culture and the selection of cell lines to meet research purposes. In addition, this course will place considerable emphasis on the teaching of bio ethics. 3 Credits Corequisites: CH 110  and BI 110
