Workshop to Explore the Value of Applying Molecular Biology Tools in Environmental Engineering

0116929 Oerther该基金资助了一个研讨会，以探索在环境工程中应用分子生物学工具的价值。 该研讨会的目标包括提供四个关键问题的答案：（1）在环境工程领域的初级教师可以通过开发，实施和使用分子生物学工具进行研究来建立成功和可持续的职业生涯吗？(2)生物分子技术的优点和缺点是什么？在环境工程界，技术的发展和标准化应该如何进行？(3)环境工程领域应该如何以及在多大程度上向学生、从业者和监管机构教授分子生物学工具？(4)分子生物学工具所提供的知识的当前和预期的例子是什么，这些知识对该领域的真实的价值是什么？***

0116929 Oerther This grant funds a workshop to explore the value of applying molecular biology tools in environmental engineering. The objectives of the workshop include providing answers to four critical questions: (1) Can junior faculty in the field of environmental engineering build successful and sustainable careers by developing, implementing, and conducting research using molecular biology tools? (2) What are the advantages and disadvantages of biomolecular technologies, and how should technique development and standardization proceed within the environmental engineering community? (3) How and to what degree should the field of environmental engineering teach molecular biology tools to students, practitioners, and regulators? (4) What are current and anticipated examples of knowledge provided by molecular biology tools that were previously unavailable, and what is the real value of this knowledge to the field? ***
