Overview of research project
WELCOME EVERYONE
This course aims to introduce you to the basic biochemistry laboratory techniques employed in biomedical research. To do this you will be immersed in a directed research project. Throughout the year you will work to characterize a very well-known drug target. In the first half of the course, you will work to clone your drug target gene into an expression plasmid. In the second half of the course, you will work on expressing, purifying, and characterizing the protein product of your gene of interest.
