Significant changes in two laboratory courses, Experimental Laboratory in Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Scanning Electron Microscopy, are being implemented by introducing new laboratory exercises which emphasize problem-solving using a variety of techniques. In the molecular course, student carry out projects involving separation and characterization of sub-cellular components. Students have significant responsibility for the design of the experiments and are expected to evaluate the advantages and limitations of the experimental approaches and techniques used. Electrophoresis systems and an ultracentrifuge provide students with the ability to isolate and analyze organelles, proteins and DNA. In the scanning electron microscopy course, a critical point dryer allows students to prepare biological specimens. This project enhances the opportunities available to young women with the aim of encouraging them to pursue graduate education and careers in research. The college will contribute an amount equal to the award.

分子和细胞生物学实验实验室和扫描电子显微镜这两门实验课程正在进行重大改革，引入新的实验室练习，强调使用各种技术解决问题。在分子课程中，学生将进行涉及亚细胞成分分离和表征的项目。学生对实验的设计负有重大责任，并应评估所使用的实验方法和技术的优点和局限性。电泳系统和超离心机为学生提供分离和分析细胞器、蛋白质和DNA的能力。在扫描电子显微镜课程中，一个临界点干燥机允许学生准备生物标本。这个项目增加了年轻妇女的机会，目的是鼓励她们接受研究生教育和从事研究工作。学院将提供等额的奖金。
