Interdisciplinary Sciences (99) The education and training of skilled practitioners in the fields of biophotonics is clearly a benefit to society and connects several science disciplines through instrumentation and analysis. Biophotonic applications in their many shapes and forms have a profound influence on modern life science research and it is therefore highly desirable to improve the education of undergraduate students in this vital scientific area. The exceptional scientific breadth of biophotonic research makes it virtually impossible for a single science department to deliver all topics necessary for a well-rounded basic education in this rapidly progressing scientific area. This project is developing an interdisciplinary biophotonics undergraduate laboratory/lecture course (2+1 credit hours) that involves faculty from Kent State's Biology, Chemistry and Physics departments. Course topics include basic principles of fluorescence and microscopy, organic fluorophore synthesis, advanced fluorescence spectroscopy and the use of microscopy in cell biology. The lab course concludes with a student designed project that utilizes high-end biophotonics instrumentation.

跨学科科学（99）生物光子学领域熟练从业人员的教育和培训显然有利于社会，并通过仪器和分析将多个科学学科联系起来。生物光子的应用在其许多形状和形式对现代生命科学研究产生了深远的影响，因此，它是非常可取的，以提高本科生在这一重要的科学领域的教育。生物光子研究的特殊科学广度使得一个单一的科学部门几乎不可能在这个快速发展的科学领域提供全面基础教育所需的所有主题。该项目正在开发一个跨学科的生物光子学本科实验室/讲座课程（2+1学分），涉及来自肯特州立大学的生物，化学和物理系的教师。课程主题包括荧光和显微镜的基本原理，有机荧光团合成，高级荧光光谱学和显微镜在细胞生物学中的应用。实验室课程结束时，学生设计的项目，利用高端生物光子仪器。
