Introduction
Biotechnology uses living organisms (bacteria, yeast, plants, animals) to develop and produce different products. Students will acquire knowledge on DNA cloning, nucleic acids analysis, gene modification and gene editing of plants and animals, industrial microbiology, stem cells, model organisms and the principles of vaccine development. In addition, students will explore the ethical implications surrounding biotechnology. In the laboratory, students will learn how to perform horizontal gene transfer, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), restriction digests and genotyping.
