BME494 Introduction Synthetic Biology, Unit 2: How to Engineer Life, Techniques and Protocols
Learning Objectives: Students should leave this unit equipped with a theoretical understanding of the typical lab techniques used in synthetic biology projects. Students will understand how laboratories carry out their work: from basic design and DNA construct assembly to data collection. Emphasis will be on good lab/experimental controls and the collection of statistically valid measurements. Students will also understand how commonly used lab devices function and explore the recent efforts to simplify and lower in cost.
