Have you ever wondered what goes in to creating a Genetically Modified
Organism(GMO)?
Learn essential concepts and skills used in biotech labs in this fast paced
hands on workshop. We’ll cover the nature of DNA, and the discoveries and
breakthroughs that made modifying life forms just another day at the lab.
You’ll learn to isolate DNA, cut it with restriction enzymes, transform
bacterial cells, perform gel electrophoresis and PCR your own DNA. We’ll
also cover new developments in the field, such as synthetic biology and
personal genomic data.
This course is geared towards folks with no prior lab experience.
