现实世界技能的行动.....

Biotech Research (BTEC210G) is offered in the 秋天 semester and provides an exposure to a variety of skills utlilized by researchers.

Last week, students learned how to use RNAi to inactivate 2 different genes in C. elegans, a microscopic worm found in soil. 在实验室里, they placed the worms onto plates with bacteria containing DNA, 激活RNAi通路. 48 hours later, they examined the worms to observe the resulting characteristics.

This technique is used to determine the role of genes in organisms and is even used in treating medical conditions such as polyneuropathy manifestations of hATTR amyloidosis. The students also participate in a semester-long research project focusing on discovering novel antibiotics through the global Tiny Earth program.

Can't wait to hear what they are up to this week! Find out more about the Biotechnology program at http://1n2x.itnasa.net/program/biotechnology-4/

Stop by the NH Department of Transportation table today to hear about their Driving Towards Zero program. Get the facts on what they are doing (and we all can do) to make the road safer.
