Enrichment of Introductory Cellular and Molecular Biology Laboratories

细胞和分子生物学的二年级课程侧重于生物学概念的阐明，一般调查技能的实践，以及该领域特定技术技能的发展。这些目标是通过让学生通过实践经验接触到更多种类的调查技术来加强的，强调询问和实验。通过购买离心机、高效液相色谱和凝胶电泳系统、分光光度计和带有视频组件的荧光/相显微镜，学生可以分离、纯化和表征细胞器及其组成的蛋白质和核酸。这应该会大大提高学生在这一课程领域继续学习的兴趣。学院将捐赠相当于该奖项的金额。

The sophomore level course in Cellular and Molecular Biology focuses on the elucidation of biological concepts, the practise of general investigative skills, and the development of technical skills specific to this area. These objectives are enhanced by exposing the students to a greater variety of investigative techniques through hands-on experience emphasizing inquiry and experimentation. Through the purchase of centrfuges, liquid chromatography and gel electrophoresis systems, spectrophotometers, and fluorescence/phase microscopes with video components, students can isolate, purify, and characterize cellular organelles and their constituent proteins and nucleic acids. This should greatly enhance the interest of the students in further study in this curricular area. The college will contribute an amount equal to the award.
