Program Description Our Biotechnology - Advanced program prepares you with the scientific principles, techniques and skills required in industrial microbiology and chemistry. In this applied science program, you'll also study biotechnology applications, biochemistry, microbial genetics and clinical and environmental microbiology.
In Biotechnology - Advanced courses, you will learn to: Isolate, enumerate and identify microorganisms from many types of samples. Accurately calibrate and use instruments such as pH and BOD meters, gas chromatographs, spectrophotometers, HPLCs, centrifuges, PCR thermocyclers and gel electrophoresis equipment. Prepare media and reagents to culture pathogenic microbes. Design and perform advanced microbiology and microbial genetics experiments. Isolate DNA and perform gel electrophoresis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on samples.
