The Summer Science Program (SSP): Cell Biology
Participants in the Summer Science Program in Cell Biology will use CRISPR gene editing to study cancer-relevant genes in our model system, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker’s yeast). After learning the basics of molecular biology and CRISPR gene editing, participants will identify cell cycle genes that could impact cell replication in all eukaryotes (including humans) and inhibit their expression using CRISPR-based gene editing. Through this process, participants will gain hands-on experience with cell culture, molecular biology, genetics, and bioinformatics. They will use these skills to generate mutants, characterize phenotypes, and (eventually) make broader connections to human health.
The Summer Science Program (SSP): Biochemistry
Participants in the Summer Science Program in Biochemistry conduct modern biochemical research to understand the structural and chemical properties of enzymes, utilizing this information to design a molecule that could inhibit enzyme activity and prevent fungal infection of crops.
The Summer Science Program (SSP): Bacterial Genomics
Participants in the Summer Science Program in Bacterial Genomics study the evolution of stress resistance in a non-pathogenic bacterium. By introducing ever increasing amounts of stressors, the population is forced to evolve or perish – and we can study that evolution by analyzing their DNA and how it changed from the ancestral strain. Through this process, participants gain hands-on experience with the microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics that they’ll need to go from the output’s seemingly random ATGCs to annotated genomes and eventually to identify putative mutations that gave rise to that bacteria’s stressor resistance.
