This project improves the sophistication of cellular and molecular components of the curriculum. The department is redesigning a course for majors to introduce them to the major building blocks of living organisms, and to teach them the modern techniques of molecular biology. The purchase of centrifuges, liquid chromatography, paper chromatography, and electrophoresis equipment, photographic equipment, and of a UV/visible spectrophotometer allows the department to introduce new laboratory experiences involving cell fractionation; protein, DNA and RNA separations; quantitative measurement of proteins and nucleic acids; restriction digestion of nucleic acids, and the cloning of restriction fragments. The instruments are also being used in Immunology and Genetics courses and laboratories in Plant Physiology. The college will contribute an amount equal to the award.

这个项目提高了课程中细胞和分子组成的复杂性。该系正在为专业学生重新设计一门课程，向他们介绍生命有机体的主要组成部分，并向他们传授现代分子生物学技术。通过购买离心机、液相色谱仪、纸层析和电泳仪、摄影设备以及UV/可见光分光光度计，该部门可以介绍新的实验室经验，涉及细胞分离；蛋白质、DNA和RNA分离；蛋白质和核酸的定量测量；核酸的限制性消化，以及限制性片段的克隆。这些仪器还被用于免疫学和遗传学课程以及植物生理学实验室。学院将捐赠相当于该奖项的金额。
