Enrichment of Introductory Cellular and Molecular Biology Laboratories

细胞与分子生物学大二阶段的课程侧重于生物学概念的阐释，一般调查技能的实践，以及该领域特定技术技能的发展。通过强调探究和实验的实践经验，使学生接触到更多种类的调查技术，从而加强了这些目标。通过购买带有视频组件的离心机、液相色谱和凝胶电泳系统、分光光度计和荧光/相显微镜，学生可以分离、纯化和表征细胞器及其组成蛋白和核酸。这将极大地提高学生在这一课程领域进一步学习的兴趣。学院将提供等额的奖金。

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.
