Experimental Molecular Biology

MOL320 is a spring semester course offered to sophomores intending to concentrate in MOL and plan to study abroad, or have taken/are concurrently taking MOL348 and want an early introduction to research methods & laboratory experience. The purpose of MOL320 is to prepare you to be a contributing member of a research lab and to foster creative, critical thinking and effective communication skills. While completing original research, you will employ techniques used by both molecular biologists and developmental geneticists. You will explore scientific literature to understand prior research and will generate a final research paper on your work.
