Description:
Molecular cloning of a gene into a plasmid vector, followed by expression and purification of the encoded protein using modern chromatography techniques. Downstream analysis and experimentation is then conducted on the purified protein. Six hours of laboratory weekly. Course will be offered every year (Spring).
