    General Quantitative Microscopy and Experimental Design

    Semester: 

    Fall

    Offered: 

    2019

    Light Microscopy is currently a widespread tool for scientific discovery. Advances in this field including the development of brighter and better dyes and fluorescent proteins and techniques that go beyond the optical resolution limit have shaped the way scientist do science. Furthermore, the inherent quantitative nature of light microscopy makes it a powerful tool to solve biological problems in both live and fixed samples and really goes beyond a pretty picture.

    Analyzing Genomic Research Data: Keeping the patient in mind

    Semester: 

    Summer

    Offered: 

    2020

    As researchers, it is important to keep in mind the clinical relevance of our work. In these sessions, participants will work together in small groups to analyze genomic research data utilizing publicly available online tools. This nanocourse will give participants a sense of how research is linked with the clinical aspect and how researchers can incoporate patient data into their own research. Throughout the sessions, participants will also learn about research and clinical careers that they may be interested in pursuing.

    Lab Trek: Navigating the Final Frontier of Safety and Regulations

    Semester: 

    Spring

    Offered: 

    2023
    Exhaustive human, animal and environmental safety protocols are baked into our training as scientists, though safety culture remains tenuous in many academic spaces. Furthermore, with the rapid evolution and expansion of novel scientific techniques, entities and therapies, the frontiers of safety and regulation must evolve apace. This nanocourse aims to train and empower future scientists and leaders (in both academia and industry) to be critical about the...
