Limited to 10 participants.
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Prereq: None; interest in synthetic biology a plus.
Ever wonder if you could re-program cells to do whatever you wanted? With synthetic biology, the possibilities are endless! Synthetic biology provides a unique opportunity to combine knowledge from electrical engineering, biological engineering, chemical engineering, and biology. This hands-on class will take you through the process of constructing DNA circuits, and by the end of IAP, you will create a bioluminescent bacterial lamp! Optional special workshops will also be held for those interested in more advanced topics, such as computational modeling.
Lab space is limited to 10. Lecture is open to all.
NOTE: You must sign up through the website to be in the class.
