Biochemistry 455 Fall 2009 Techniques in Biochemistry & Biotechnology Instructor: Gail Grabner ([email protected]) Topics: Protein purification, Dipeptide sequence analysis, Molecular cloning, ELISA, Lipid analysis Student comments: “I took a lot out of this class; almost nothing was repetitive of anything I had learned in any other lab.” “I feel that my lab skills improved after taking BIOC 455. I’ve gained more experience and learned a lot of techniques and assays.” “The techniques used here are genuinely applicable, particularly for students already doing research & considering graduate school.” “Things I learned in BIOC 455 will most definitely help me when I enter the workforce.” Techniques in Biochemistry & Biotechnology : BIOC 455 CREDITS: 4 hours WHEN: M, W Lecture: 1:00-1:50; Lab: 2:00-4:50 WHERE: Lab in 218 Noyes Lab INSTRUCTOR: Gail K.
