Course Information
Description
A laboratory course that immerses students in a dynamic project-based research environment. Participate in experimental projects directly linked with ongoing faculty research. Students select a project from the following research tracks: neurobiology, microbial sciences, cell biology, and synthetic biology. New projects, including some in other research fields, are offered every term. In a highly collaborative atmosphere, students form a fully-functional and diverse research group based on the sharing of ideas and progress reports between projects. The spring microbiology project is part of the "genomes to Biomes" series.
Course Notes
Location of the first meeting will be announced on the course website. Open to freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, regardless of concentration, and suitable for students either with or without extensive laboratory experience. The course may only be repeated once and the second enrollment must be approved by the instructor. Students cannot take MCB 100 and LS 100 at the same time.
Recommended Prep
Students interested in a neurobiology project will need NEURO 80 or permission of the instructor.
