Improvement of Undergraduate Laboratory Experience in Molecular Biology

一门新的分子和细胞生物学实验课程正在 开发，其中学生使用的一些主要技术采用 在现代生物学中。实验练习介绍了 生物学研究的背景，而不是孤立的 示威购买的设备包括紫外-可见光 卧式和立式色谱仪 凝胶装置、超离心转子和DNA测序装置。 这些项目的使用为学生提供了有用的技能，并教会他们 相关技术在生物学研究中的重要性。这 项目应对质量产生重大影响， 毕业生，使他们更好地准备研究生院，医疗 学校，或在研究实验室或生物技术工作 企业大学将提供与奖金相等的金额。

A new laboratory course in Molecular and Cellular Biology is being developed, in which students use some of the major techniques employed in modern biology. The laboratory exercises present the techniques in the context of biological investigation, rather than as isolated demonstrations. The equipment purchased includes UV-Vis spectrophotometers, chromatographic equipment, horizontal and vertical gel apparatus, ultracentrifuge rotors, and DNA sequencing apparatus. Use of these items gives students useful skills and teaches them the importance of the associated techniques in biological research. This project should have a significant impact on the quality of the graduates, making them better prepared for graduate school, medical school, or employment in research laboratories or biotechnology companies. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.
