Implementing a modern multi-omics approach in experimental molecular genetics project lab (7.15)

We will implement a modern multi-omics approach in experimental molecular genetics project lab (7.15). Funds received from the Alumni Class Funds will help transform the way experimental genetics is taught in undergraduate project lab. The students will carry out open-ended independent research projects to investigate genetic pathways in the model worm C. elegans that interact with various drug molecules used in the clinics. The funds will support several state-of-the-art multi-omics analyses that allow students to apply frontier methodologies in studying their own projects. We anticipate the implementation of this innovative approach will significantly enhance students’ learning of modern experimental approaches and engagement in biomedical sciences.
