Andrew Phillips; Anusha Srinivas; Ilina Prentoska; Margaret O'Dea; Matthew Kustrup; Sarah Hurley; Savannah Bruno; Vy Nguyen; Pin-Kuang Lai – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Teaching chemistry and biology students about biologics design remains challenging despite its increasing importance in pharmaceutical development. Monoclonal antibodies, commonly called mAbs, are the most popular biologics. They have been developed into drugs to treat various diseases in the past decades. Multiple challenges exist for designing…

Trofimova, Ellina; Asgharzadeh Kangachar, Shahla; Weynberg, Karen D.; Willows, Robert D.; Jaschke, Paul R. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
With the global increase of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, there is an urgent need for new methods of tackling the issue. Genomic analysis of bacterial strains can help to understand their virulence and antibiotic resistance profile. Bioinformatic skills are in great demand across the biological sciences. We designed…

Nannas, Natalie J. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2021
CRISPR-Cas9 is revolutionizing how we conduct scientific research, treat disease, and develop new crops. The widespread impact of this genome-editing technology makes it critical for undergraduate students to understand and engage with this new tool. In this article, we describe a multi-week lab module that teaches undergraduates how to design…

Katsaros, Nikolaos A.; Stasinakis, Panagiotis K. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
In this article, we present the simulation software called Aipotu and we propose a way to use it in order to promote Evolution Learning and Teaching. Through activities, included in a worksheet, students gradually gain new knowledge not only on evolution and its genetic base but on the concept of simulation and scientific modeling as well. Aipotu…

Kraemer, Sara; Thorn, Christopher A. – Wisconsin Center for Education Research (NJ1), 2010
The purpose of this exploratory study was to identify and describe some of the dimensions of scientific collaborations using high throughput computing (HTC) through the lens of a virtual team performance framework. A secondary purpose was to assess the viability of using a virtual team performance framework to study scientific collaborations using…

Bernd, Karen – Cell Biology Education, 2003
What better way to clarify a topic and allow it to come alive than to provide students with a way to actually see it? Images, diagrams, and flowcharts can draw students in. In this article, the author reviews "Roche Genetics: Education Program" CD-ROM version 4.0. The program is organized using a theme park analogy. An information booth leads to a…

Reiss, Rebecca; Jameson, David – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1984
Describes a series of computer programs that use simulation and gaming techniques to present the basic principles of the central dogma of molecular genetics, mutation, and the genetic code. A history of discoveries in molecular biology is presented and the evolution of these computer assisted instructional programs is described. (MBR)

Porter, Sandra G.; Day, Joseph; McCarty, Richard E.; Shearn, Allen; Shingles, Richard; Fletcher, Linnea; Murphy, Stephanie; Pearlman, Rebecca – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2007
Researchers in the field of bioinformatics have developed a number of analytical programs and databases that are increasingly important for advancing biological research. Because bioinformatics programs are used to analyze, visualize, and/or compare biological data, it is likely that the use of these programs will have a positive impact on biology…
