A Laboratory Curriculum for Gene Chip Technology

该奖项为洛杉矶的加州大学提供资金，詹姆斯C。廖博士获“基因芯片技术实验室课程”奖，为期三年。“将开发一个新的基因芯片技术实验室课程。 本课程的目的是教育学生在生物技术的这一前沿领域。 基因芯片技术将微加工技术与生物分子识别技术相结合，已经开始对生命科学和生物医学产业的研究和应用产生革命性的影响。 这一新兴领域吸引了工程人才和生物知识。 工程师在生命科学研究和相关产业中发挥着前所未有的重要作用。 本课程主要介绍基因芯片制作的基本原理及基因芯片数据的处理。 学生将应用该技术研究大肠杆菌的基因表达谱，大肠杆菌是一种对生物技术和生物医学都很重要的微生物。 结果将作为数据库通过互联网公布。 课程将采用多媒体和网络教学。 教学开发方面的专业知识将用于课程开发和评估。

This award provides funding to the University of California at Los Angeles, Dr. James C. Liao, Principal Investigator, for a three year Combined Research-Curriculum Development award entitled, "A Laboratory Curriculum for Gene Chip Technology." A novel laboratory course for gene chip technology will be developed. The purpose of this course is to educate students in this cutting-edge area of biotechnology. Gene chip technology combines microfabrication processes with biomolecular recognition, and has begun to revolutionize research and application of life sciences and the biomedical industry. This emerging field draws on engineering talents as well as biological knowledge. Engineers have an unprecedented, significant role to play in life science research and related industry. The objective of this course is to impart the basic principles of gene chip fabrication and the processing of gene chip data. Students will apply the technology to investigate the gene expression profiles of E coli, a microorganism of importance to both biotechnology and biomedicine. Results will be published as a database via the Internet. Multi-media and web-based instruction will be used in the course. Expertise in instructional development will be used for course development and evaluation.
