This project focuses on the development of laboratory course in fundamental methods and concepts of experimental biochemistry for first-year undergraduate students at MIT. The proposed 6-unit course would meet during Fall and Spring semesters and be centered around small student groups working in the laboratory and having discussions with faculty and instructional staff. We anticipate that the development of such a course will facilitate first-year interactions between students and faculty, provide a “hands-on” experience to complement courses in the GIR science core, and serve as a solid foundation from which to pursue UROPs at MIT.
