Courses Offered
Microscopy is an ever-changing field of study with new technological advancements occurring regularly. This course takes a deep dive into some of the new and upcoming biotechnology that is not housed in the Instrumentation Resource Facility. Content varies by year. Class may be repeated a maximum of two times.
Histology to confocal microscopy. Through the combination of lecture and laboratory learning, students will leave this class understanding the scientific principles underlying the techniques as well as hands-on training for sample preparation, histology, confocal microscopy, and image analysis.
Molecular methods. Students will be introduced to and trained in molecular techniques that could be utilized in a proteomics or genomics laboratory, including cell culture, RNA isolation and quantification, cDNA synthesis, PCR (quantitative, real-time, and endpoint), in situ hybridization, and molecular cloning.
Electron microscopy. Through the combination of lecture and laboratory learning, students will leave this class understanding the scientific principles underlying the techniques as well as hands-on training for transmission electron and scanning electron microscopy sample preparation and imaging.
Advanced molecular methods. Students will be introduced to and trained in advanced molecular techniques that could be utilized in a proteomics or genomics laboratory, including SDS PAGE, Western blot, ELISA, and Flow Cytometry.
Applied Biotech Club
The Applied Biotech Club (ABC) aims to educate students on new and existing biotechnology both in the IRF and abroad while also creating a safe environment for researchers to network, collaborate, and share ideas for new research questions and biotechnological techniques
