This hybrid course provides hands-on training industry-standard knowledge and skills in bacterial cloning, genomic and plasmid DNA isolation, PCR, restriction digest, and gel electrophoresis as well as experimental design and execution. Students will learn classic techniques as well as cutting-edge technologies to edit cellular genome.
Prerequisite Molecular Biology 1
This hybrid course consists of a weekly asynchronous module that prepares students for the in-person laboratory activities. Students will acquire and demonstrate knowledge and skills in PCR, gel electrophoresis, protein purification, quantification, experimental design, and execution.
Prerequisite Molecular Biology 1
Students will learn cell culture and molecular biology techniques that are performed in research and development immuno-oncology laboratories. This experience will offer the next step in training by providing meaningful skill development in a hands-on research project.
Our mission is to develop the next generation of life science talent through education and workforce development programming, focused on engaging high school and college students with a deep interest in STEM careers. ULP’s STEM scholarships ensure students are ready for a biotech career through mentorship opportunities and hands-on laboratory experiences that refine research skills.
All students will be considered for need-based scholarships at the time of application.
This 8-week internship equips students with vital workplace skills in a biotech setting. Students will learn laboratory operations, effective communication, and engage with multidisciplinary scientists. Students will have the opportunity to earn a UCI digital credential in the Fundamentals of Cell Culture.
