Molecular biology - How cells communicate through membrane receptors. Students will learn: (i) how to construct a receptor DNA into a expression vector; (ii) how to transform a receptor DNA construct to a bacterial cell-line to amplify it; (iii) how to purify a receptor DNA construct from bacterial cells; and (iv) how to transfect a mammalian cell-line with a receptor DNA construct. |

Analytical and synthetic chemistry - This summer students will investigate: (i) advanced lab techniques related to the extraction, identification, and chemical modification of chemical substances obtained from natural sources (e.g. algae, wood, paper). Some aspects of glyceride fatty acid transesterification and of cell wall rupture in single cell algae will be addressed; (ii) how to make biodiesel fuel and alcohol from plant material; and (iii) how to identify compounds using modern spectroscopic equipment.
