About this research opportunity
This is a one-credit course (BIO 495) that will provide Undergraduate Online Students the opportunity to participate in rigorous molecular biology research. At the end of this project, students will gain experience in molecular laboratory techniques like PCR and Primer design, agarose gel electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE gel and Immunoblotting. They will experience the scientific rigor from implementing the scientific method of generating a hypothesis, designing experiments and collecting data, critically evaluating data and drawing conclusions to either support or reject the hypothesis. They will learn how to effectively communicate scientific data in the form of presentations. This is a hybrid experience where students will attend a 5-day research immersion on Tempe Campus. Two different research immersion weeks are provided:
Summer A, 2024 (June 10-14); Summer B, 2024 (July 15-19)
This class is for CLAS majors (junior and senior standing) registered in the ASU Online program. The should have taken BIO 340, CHM 101 or any basic chemistry course. MMR vaccine is required for this course, and students must register for 1-credit BIO 495 course in summer A and/or B.
