Creating Lifelong Interest in Molecular Biology (CLIMB)

Learning Objectives:

  • To pique an interest in molecular biology using
    topical staging (related to the recent
    pandemic)
  • To learn basic molecular biology techniques in
    a safe and supervised environment
  • To understand how restriction enzymes can be
    used to “diagnose” differences in DNA
    sequences
