<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Dr. Samantha Orchard, worked in the Biotechnology industry for 8 years before joining the University of Arizona in 2018. In this laboratory course, you will learn how
to prepare and manipulate DNA, use PCR to amplify and modify genes, clone genes, transform DNA into bacteria and yeast cells, grow microorganisms in culture, analyze DNA sequence data, and monitor protein expression via protein gels, among other techniques.
The course will provide students with a strong foundation in laboratory science providing skills that may be applied in diverse fields of biological research. Enrollment is limited to 12 students to optimize interaction with the instructor and provide targeted
mentoring.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
