Advanced Research: Synthetic Biology
BIOL-UA 957
Students will contribute to the collaborative and international research project Sc2.0, specifically working with members of the Boeke laboratory from NYU Langone. The goal of the Sc2.0 project is to build the first synthetic eukaryotic organism using a “bottom up” approach, marking a groundbreaking achievement in the field of synthetic biology. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, also known as the budding yeast, is the well-established model organism used in this project. Students will gain hands-on research experience in microbiology, cellular biology, and genetics while working with the budding yeast in this course.
