Molecular Biology Summer Camp

Week 1: July 17 - 20 | 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

Week 2: July 24 - 27 | 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

What are some basic molecular biology techniques used in a lab?

In this 4-day summer camp, students will be led through a series of experiments that illustrate the principles and hands-on technique to do just that. Students will learn good laboratory techniques, using a pipette to handle small volumes, performing DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, restriction digest, PCR, and protein analysis.

Day 1: Pipette practice, DNA extraction
Day 2: Performing gel electrophoresis from start to finish
Day 3: Protein analysis, invited faculty to speak on molecular biology
Day 4: PCR analysis of biological samples

Note: Lunch is not provided but students will have access to Biola's cafeteria if they'd like to buy lunch there.

Fee: $225.00
