Instrumentation to Enhance the Cell Culture Component of a New Course in Molecular and Cellular Techniques

本科生将有机会在分子和细胞技术的新课程中扩展他们在重要实验室方法方面的专业知识。这门课程包括实际操作的方法。在本课程的真核细胞培养部分，学生将学习广泛使用的方法，包括植物和动物细胞的繁殖，枚举，筛选和遗传操作。新的层流罩、组织培养相显微镜、孵化器和低温冷冻室将使课堂参与者能够单独练习并更广泛地应用大量这些方法。这种加强的技术培训将使他们能够更有效地为研究事业和研究生院做准备。学校将提供50%的配套资金。

Undergraduates will have an opportunity to expand their expertise in important laboratory methodologies in a new course in Molecular and Cellular Techniques. The course involves a practical hands-on approach. In the eukaryotic cell culture component of the course, students learn widely-used methods involved in the propagation, enumeration, screening, and genetic manipulation of plant and animal cells. New laminar flow hoods, tissue culture phase microscopes, incubators, and a low temperature freezer will enable class participants to individually practice and apply a larger number of these methods more extensively. This enhanced technical training will allow them to prepare more effectively for research careers and graduate school. The university will provide 50% matching funds.
