Energy Reduction Measures in Response to Extreme Heat

Due to the extreme heat and the need to reduce energy usage on campus, classes may be moved to different buildings. Affected instructors and students will be notified directly. Students should check their emails regarding classroom notifications. Office staff are mostly remote from 4:00pm to 5:30pm on 6/24 and 6/25.

Summer 2024 Research Series: Biotechnology—Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis

This program is a new, cutting-edge research opportunity in Biotechnology for participants to explore development of tools and current methods to manipulate DNA at the molecular level. Students will experience hands-on cutting of short stretches of DNA and connecting it to a large DNA molecule—a process that is referred to as molecular cloning or gene cloning. Students can subsequently examine, study and analyze, the resulting recombinant DNA fragments. Gene cloning is widely used in biopharmaceuticals for creation of human proteins, such as insulin synthesis; in gene therapy, and for gene analysis.
