Molecular Biology Techniques for Introductory and Advanced Courses

9451589 Benner这项拨款的目的是为我们的入门生物学和高级实验室（遗传学，微生物学，免疫学）配备仪器，使学生能够开展分子生物学的高级项目。这种动手的方法是重新设计的新生生物序列的一部分，旨在作为学生进入科学的泵。更传统的生物学实验室方法需要与现代实验相补充。这不仅会吸引更多的学生进入科学领域，而且还会降低进入莱德学院对科学感兴趣的学生的流失率。此外，我们希望通过提供分子生物学技术的实践经验，对未来科学教师的教育产生重大影响。

9451589 Benner The purpose of this grant is to equip our introductory biology and advanced laboratories (Genetics, Microbiology, Immunology) with instrumentation to enable students to carry out advanced projects in molecular biology. This hands-on approach is part of a redesigned freshman biology sequence intended to act as a pump for students into science. The more traditional laboratory approaches to biology need to be complemented with modern experimentation. This will not only attract more students into science, but will also reduce the attrition rate of students who enter Rider College with an interest in science. Additionally, we hope to significant impact the education of our future science teachers by providing hands-on experience in molecular biology techniques.
