Flow Cytometry at Ursinus College

在过去的五年中，该系的生物课程现代化和加强，并引进了许多新设备，流式细胞术的引入可以进一步加强学生的教育。一种新的台式流式细胞仪被引入到非专业生物学课程、专业入门课程、六门高年级实验课程以及学生研究项目中。因此，许多学生可以从这种迅速发展的新技术中受益，这将大大加强他们进入研究生院、医学院或工业界的准备。这种复杂的仪器可以作为课程设计的焦点元素，为从入门到高级的学生提供垂直整合的现代生物工具的实践经验。学院将提供等额的奖金。

In a department that has, over the past five years, modernized and enhanced its biology curriculum and introduced much new equipment, the introduction of flow cytometry can further enhance the students' education. A new benchtop flow cytometer is being introduced in the non-majors biology course, the introductory sequence for majors, and in six upper division laboratory courses, as well as student research projects. Thus, many students can benefit from this new and rapidly expanding technology, which will greatly enhance their preparation for graduate school, medical school, or industry. This sophisticated instrument can serve as a focal element in a curriculum designed to offer introductory through advanced students a progression of vertically-integrated, hands-on experiences with modern biological tools. The college will contribute an amount equal to the award.
