Biotechnology Laboratory

Graduate

This intensive laboratory course will primarily simulate the discovery and rapid characterization of genes and gene products (i.e. proteins). Laboratory experiments will include cutting edge biotechnology techniques and traditional biochemical methodology. Students will be introduced to techniques including nucleic acid isolation and amplification (i.e. PCR), regulation of gene expression, cloning, protein isolation and purification, enzyme functional assays and characterization (2-D electrophoresis, mass spectrometry).
