Why SCI? Find out this summer at Hudson Valley Community College!
Hudson Valley is offering a hands-on lab workshop for high school science teachers. Get a jump on next year’s curriculum, share best practices with other teachers, earn professional development credits so you can bring lab experiences in biotechnology and biomanufacturing to your students.
Biotechnology Workshop for AP Biology, Advanced/Second Year/Honors/IB Biology and Forensics Teachers
Tuesday, Aug. 15 – Wednesday, Aug. 16
10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Science Center, room 222
Bacterial Transformation
Using Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) to transform bacteria, participants will actually observe gene expression in real time, and then purify it using simple chromatography. Genetic transformation is used in agriculture, environmental bioremediation, as well as gene therapy in medicine.
Immunology
Participants will use ELISA (which stands for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), a powerful antibody-based test used to diagnose diseases, track pathogenic agents, identify genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and trace food allergens and molecular markers of pregnancy and drug use. It has revolutionized medicine, biotechnology, and research.
