Focus:
The Biotechnology and Life Sciences Laboratory provides a unique technology experience. The program offers a biotechnology training and research program designed to transform traditional secondary molecular and cellular biology studies into an application program that helps students experience the power of current research tools associated with DNA technologies. The laboratory’s primary mission is to provide a laboratory research-based program that allows students to experience activities in bacterial transformation, protein purification, antigen-antibody interaction, and DNA sequencing. Research projects often involve leading-edge technologies including assay techniques, rtPCR, Western blotting, electrophoresis, and mammalian tissue culture.
