Graduate Science Course Work

  • BEC 563 - Fermentation of Recombinant Microorganisms

    • Upon completion of this course, I gained the skills to perform small-scale fermentations using recombinant microorganisms and develop a comprehensive understanding of process optimization techniques. With a focus on protein production, I explored the factors influencing gene expression and recombinant protein yield.

  • MB 714 - Microbial Metabolic Regulation

    • An integrative perspective on bacterial physiology and metabolism through analysis of metabolic regulatory functions.

  • BIT 510 - Core Technologies in Molecular and Cellular Biology

    • Basic technologies of recombinant DNA procedures, gene expression, isolation and identification of nucleic acids and proteins.

  • MB 585 - Industry Case Studies in Microbial Biotechnology

    • Project-based course directly working with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Students work in teams on a company-specific project. Written and oral communication skills as well as teamwork, flexibility, and ambiguity management are emphasized.
