Summer 2026 Research Series • Biotechnology—Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis

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.

Dates: 7/6/26–7/16/26 • Monday to Thursday • 5:30pm–8:00pm

Discount: We will offer a 20% discount to any student who participates in multiple paid Early Research Opportunities. Please let us know the name of the course and the dates you will be attending.

This is open to high school students who have taken a year of Biology and current college students.
