BIOL 105B CUREs: CRISPR Lab II

Builds on BIOL105A. Provides hands-on experimental research in CRISPR-Cas technology and immunology. Students apply molecular mechanisms to learn about engineering immune cells for therapeutic purposes, consider ethical implications, and use CRISPR targeting to investigate gene function. Students conduct their own project, targeting a novel gene to determine role in specific immune responses. This course focuses on experimental lab research using CRISPR as a genetic engineering tool. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 105A and satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements. Enrollment restricted to soph., junior, and senior biology B.S. molecular, cell, and developmental biology, and biochemistry and molecular biology majors. Enrollment by instructor permission. Interested students should add to waitlist. Application required. Inquire with instructor.Prerequisite(s): BIOL 105A and satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements.
