PHT 437 - Pharmaceutical Biotechnology II

This course is designed to provide students with an opportunity to learn many cutting-edge molecular biology methods from the previous theoretical PHT 426 biotechnology course.  Students will learn practical skills in planning, executing, analyzing, and troubleshooting research protocols.  The goal of this intensive laboratory is to expose students to various techniques in biotechnology as well as to prepare them for independence in research settings.  With such an immersion in the laboratory, students will learn not only a comprehensive array of techniques but also the real-life issues that are frequently missing from theoretical courses.  This course is designed as an elective course for students who do are interested in gaining research experience in biotechnology.
