NEW: BIOTECHNOLOGY: THE BASICS
July 21-25, 2008, 9:00am-4:00pm, lunch provided.
This course
is designed to introduce teachers to the fundamentals of
biotechnology. The course will begin with a review of DNA structure
and function. From there we will explore how different tools are
used to investigate and analyze DNA. Topics include DNA extraction,
micropipetting, gel electrophoresis, restriction enzyme digestion,
polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and bacterial transformation. In
addition, there will be opportunities to discuss bioethics, develop
your laboratory preparatory skills, and collaborate with other
teachers to integrate biotechnology into your curriculum. If your
knowledge of biotechnology is limited or you want to brush up on
basic biotechnology techniques, this is the course for you!
BTCI
Course Fee: $400. Viterbo University or Edgewood College credits
available for additional fees. Viterbo fees= $270 for 3 graduate
education credits ($90/credit), Viterbo registration and fee payment
is handled the first day of class, July 21. Edgewood cost and

9:00am-4:00pm, lunch provided.
This course
is designed to help teachers bring advanced biotechnology concepts
to the classroom by focusing on gene expression. Topics include:
reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, ligation,
microarrays, and protein purification. Pre-requisites:
Biotechnology: The Basics or a working knowledge of micropipetting,
gel electrophoresis, bacterial transformation, and polymerase chain
reaction. In addition, there will be opportunities to discuss
bioethics and collaborate with other teachers to integrate
biotechnology into your curriculum. If you feel comfortable with
basic biotechnology techniques, but want to learn advanced concepts
from this rapidly developing field, this is the course for you!
