3 credits · Biochemistry and Molecular Biology · Penn State

In BMB 490 , students will form a collaborative team to explore a research topic in cell and molecular biology. Students will learn about experimental design, laboratory techniques, data analysis, and interpretation of data. By the end of the fall semester, students will have conducted and analyzed 2-3 experiments and gained background knowledge and hands-on experience in various techniques in cell and molecular biology. BMB 490 students may choose to continue their research in BMB 491 , allowing students to complete a fast-tracked start-to-finish research project that goes from designing experiments all the way through to writing up and presenting findings.
