Biotechnology Workshop: Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement

生物技术以重组DNA技术、微生物学、生物化学、细胞生物学和免疫学为基础，在过去的15年里取得了重大进展。该项目将为两年制和四年制大学的教职员工举办一个生物技术研讨会。研讨会计划是以乔治敦大学开发的模式(早先用于高中教师)为基础的，卡尼修斯学院、旧金山大学和西雅图大学也使用了这种模式。研讨会将包括关于分子生物学的理论背景和新知识的讲座，重点是基因克隆、免疫学和生物化学。实验室实验将包括核酸提取、电泳、限制性内切酶、DNA分析、测绘和基因测序。

Biotechnology, based on recombinant DNA technology, microbiology, biochemistry, cell biology and immunology, has achieved major advances over the past fifteen years. This project will run a workshop in biotechnology for faculty from two- and four-year colleges. The workshop plan is based on a model (used earlier for high school teachers), developed at Georgetown and also used at Canisius College, the University of San Francisco, and Seattle University. The workshop will incorporate lectures on the theoretical background and new knowledge in molecular biology, emphasizing gene cloning, immunology, and biochemistry. Laboratory experiments will cover nucleic acid extractions, electrophoresis, restriction endonuclease, DNA analysis, mapping, and gene sequencing.
