Academic Discipline:

Bioscience

Course Coordinator: Jason Tucker, M.S.
Assistant Dean: Leesa Cox, MBA, PTA

4 Credit(s)
This course will focus on Molecular Biology and will examine the advanced instruments and methods of analysis used in the laboratory today. The course will include a comprehensive review of advanced bioscience laboratory techniques utilized in the field today to include indications, process, advantages, disadvantages, analytical protocols, and performing specific laboratory techniques. Students will complete a semester long research project using a model organism which will encompass some of the major molecular biology techniques. Students will then write up results in the form of a scientific publication. UG
