A Collaborative Approach to Promote Use of 3D Printing in a Biology Research Laboratory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wong-Welch, Jenny; Cripps, Richard M. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Three dimensional (3D) design and printing are customizable and cost-effective approaches to developing small equipment and other items for use in various interdisciplinary applications. However, many pedagogical approaches to 3D printing focus more on the generation of artifacts than on the involvement of students as creators. Moreover, library…

Bo Ding; Ju Wang; Yaxin Mao; Tian Meng; Yumei Luo; Xiaomei Xu; Zhanqing Lv; Mian Zhou; Qiuying Yang – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Fluorescence-related experimental techniques play an important role in biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology. However, fluorescence-related experiments are rarely included in the laboratory courses of most Chinese universities. This is mainly due to the conflict between large class size (50-60 students in one room) and funding/space…

Mihasan, Marius – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
The structure and function of biomolecules relationship is the hallmark of biochemistry, molecular biology, and life sciences in general. Physical models of macromolecules give students the possibility to manipulate these structures in three dimensions, developing a sense of spatiality and a better understanding of key aspects such as atom size…

Drawing in 3D: Using 3D Printer Pens to Draw Chemical Models
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bernard, Pawel; Mendez, James D. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Development of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has started a new chapter for in-classroom modeling of chemical molecules. The technology provides the opportunity to design and produce various types of personalized models. However, using classical 3D printers is time consuming, and it is hard to involve students in the modeling process…

Howell, Michelle E.; Booth, Christine S.; Sikich, Sharmin M.; Helikar, Tomáš; Roston, Rebecca L.; Couch, Brian A.; Dijk, Karin – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Understanding the relationship between molecular structure and function represents an important goal of undergraduate life sciences. Although evidence suggests that handling physical models supports gains in student understanding of structure-function relationships, such models have not been widely implemented in biochemistry classrooms.…
