Future investigators in basia cell biology and in the health professions will require more extensive training in molecular biology than they have received in the past. Many Biology and Microbiology graduates could benefit from training in contemporary methodologies used in research or diagnostic settings. To satisfy this need, the Division of Biology has developed three capstone laboratory courses in Virology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics and has established a modern, core facility for instruction of advanced juniors and seniors in these molecular disciplines. The objectives of this program are to expand the range of material covered in the laboratory curriculum and to increase the capacity of the core facility. Cell transfer hoods and inverted and fluorescence microscopes enable Virology and Immunology students to perform new exercises efficiently in these laboratory courses. A scintillation counter permits students in the laboratory to use radioisotopes in a safe and efficient manner. Finally, new computers enable students in Molecular Genetics to perform analysis of DNA sequences, taking this class beyond the confines of a techniques course.

与过去相比，未来巴西亚细胞生物学和卫生专业的研究人员将需要更广泛的分子生物学培训。许多生物学和微生物学毕业生可以从研究或诊断环境中使用的现代方法培训中受益。为了满足这一需求，生物系开发了病毒学、免疫学和分子遗传学三门顶尖实验室课程，并建立了一个现代化的核心设施，用于指导这些分子学科的高级大三和大四学生。该计划的目标是扩大实验室课程中涵盖的材料范围，并增加核心设施的能力。细胞转移罩和倒置和荧光显微镜使病毒学和免疫学的学生能够在这些实验室课程中有效地进行新的练习。闪烁计数器允许学生在实验室以安全和有效的方式使用放射性同位素。最后，新的计算机使分子遗传学的学生能够进行DNA序列分析，使这门课超越了技术课程的限制。
