Biology Lab

The Human Biology Laboratory examines the biological and behavioral characteristics of human populations from a biocultural and evolutionary perspective. We take an integrative, comparative approach to studies of human biology and health. Many of our projects focus on what shapes human biology, behavior and health from the cellular to societal levels. We use a diverse set of methods including study of the gut microbiome, biomarkers of immune function and inflammation, cardiovascular and metabolic risk, and psychosocial stress. Our lab strengths are in biomarker collection and laboratory analysis, nutrition, anthropometry, statistical modeling, and ethnographic assessment of behavior and lifestyle.

The CTSB lab is led by Prof. Mustafa Khammash. Our group is comprised of engineers, mathematicians, computational scientists, physicists, and biologists working at the interface of systems biology, synthetic biology, and control theory. We run an experimental lab equipped for biosafety level I microbiology and molecular biology work, with access to the department's Single Cell Facility, Quantitative Genomics Facility, and the Laboratory Automation Facility.

We work at the intersection of developmental biology, computer science, and cognitive science. Our goal is to understand degrees of intelligence at multiple scales of biological, artificial, and hybrid systems; we use these insights to develop interventions in regenerative medicine.

Students at Arizona State University are learning biology in a unique virtual reality experience, hurtling through space to interact with creatures in an intergalactic wildlife sanctuary the size of a small city and to solve the mystery of why the creatures are dying.

The wildlife sanctuary story became a starting point for narratives written specifically for the biology courses by Michael Angilletta, President's Professor in the School of Life Sciences and associate dean of learning innovation at EdPlus, and John VandenBrooks, a professor in the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts and associate dean of immersive learning at EdPlus, in collaboration with Dreamscape Immersive.

There was endless rewriting as the team dealt within the constraints of telling a coherent story, teaching biology concepts and adhering to what is capable not only within virtual reality but also with a two-dimensional laptop version.

One challenge is that the introductory course covers a wide range of biology, so the team had to collaborate with dozens of other experts from ASU to create a completely new environment where students can solve biological problems, Angilletta said.

By spring 2023, all introductory biology courses offered through the School of Life Sciences will include Dreamscape Learn lab courses. Approximately 5,800 students are enrolled in those courses for spring.

Digital Biology Laboratory (DBL) is a research and education powerhouse in bioinformatics and computational biology. DBL develops novel computational methods, algorithms, software and information systems, and applies these tools and other informatics resources for various biological and medical problems.

Are you a biology undergraduate student looking for a lab research opportunity? Biology labs at Brandeis actively engage students in research and technician positions. In recent years, 35-40% of graduating biology majors have worked in a faculty member's lab during their stay at Brandeis.

The Donald E. and Delia B. Baxter Laboratory was created at Stanford University School of Medicine in January 2002. Helen M. Blau, Ph.D., of the department of Microbiology and Immunology and and the Donald E. and Delia B. Baxter Professor of Stem Cell Biology is the first director of the Baxter Laboratory. The Laboratory has been made possible by an endowment provided to the school of medicine by the Donald E. and Delia B. Baxter Foundation. The opening of the Baxter Laboratory was celebrated in May 2002.

The Division of Biological Sciences offers a number of laboratory courses throughout the academic year and summer session. Undergraduate laboratory courses promote student learning and understanding by providing students with safe, hands-on practice in experimental biology. Experimental learning provides a foundation for student success.

Students who need accommodation to complete the Lab Safety Requirement (such as alternative test format or extra time) due to a documented disability must email biologysafetytraining@ucsd.edu well before the start of the quarter. For accommodation other than completion of the Lab Safety Requirement, please see Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) Accommodation Information.

If, after reviewing the information contained on this web page you have additional questions about Lab Safety Training and Assessment, please send a detailed email (including PID, class, and section you are enrolled in) to biologysafetytraining@ucsd.edu.

Please refer to relevant campus and School deadlines in making individual decisions, especially noting that students who drop a biology lab course after the end of the second scheduled lab meeting will be assigned a "W" for the course.

LCCC SIM has multiple monocular microscopes that can be used individually by students. A microscope also can be fitted with a USB camera connected to a computer or Chromebook that allows the teacher to project the slide images or save pictures of the slides for future reference. United Scientific Supplies has prepared a basic set of 100 common biological substances and organisms (Item# SLD100N) that would be appropriate for an introductory biology class.Advanced classes can study the Ward's Histology Slide Sets that include samples from various biological systems found in the body of organisms. A partial list of the slides available are listed below:

Scientists have insufficient knowledge about the physiological mechanisms regulating stem cells and their molecular transitions and vulnerability to acquiring mutagenic or oncogenic states in conditions such as aging and cancer. A clear understanding of stem cell differentiation processes and the biology of cancer risk associated with early changes in stem and progenitor cells is important to reduce or prevent cancer risk.

Our lab includes clean rooms with standard facilities for mammalian tissue and cell culture, lentiviral culture, bacterial culture, custom-built hypoxic workstations, state-of-the-art multimode and high-content imagers, and standard molecular biology and biochemistry workbenches.

This course is a 2 credit laboratory experience that allows students to apply the biological concepts covered in Biology 151 and 152 Introductory Biology in laboratory and field settings. Students will develop and practice scientific research skills while exploring the areas of genetics, cell and molecular biology, evolution, and ecology. To enroll, students must be co-enrolled in Biology 152 (Introductory Biology II) or have completed the 2 semester Introductory Biology Sequence (Biology 151 and 152).

Training in chemical biology at MIT enables graduate students to address problems that transcend the traditional boundaries of chemistry and biology. Chemical biologists interrogate molecular processes that occur in human, plant, and microbial cells, as well as in viruses and animals.

The AP Biology Investigative Labs: An Inquiry-Based Approach was developed in collaboration with AP teachers, inquiry experts, and higher education faculty to support teachers in implementing the new focus on inquiry in their biology labs.

Last year over 1,400 people visited the marine laboratory at Bowling Green State University and over 100 students were enrolled in marine and freshwater biology courses. The lab, which contains over 3,000 gallons of seawater in over 40 aquaria, is unmatched at Ohio universities. Bowling Green offers an extensive program in courses in aquatic and marine science at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Through the courses offered in aquatic and marine science at Bowling Green State University, students get the opportunity to obtain an undergraduate degree in biology with an emphasis in marine and freshwater science. With a strong graduate program, undergraduates also get exposure to the latest research techniques and research opportunities.

Students interested in aquatic or marine biology are encouraged to get involved right away and maintain a tank in the marine laboratory on a volunteer basis. The students are then urged to take the closed systems course (Biology 370) to integrate the theory of animal management with marine research. Once this has been completed, the students are prepared for more aquatic or marine courses that may ultimately lead to summer internships at marine institutions. The most serious students may choose to conduct research with one of BGSU's researching faculty.

Dr. Theresa J. Grove graduated with a B.A. in Biology and Anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis in 1995. She earned her M.S. degree in Zoology in 1998 and her Ph.D. in Marine Biology in 2002 from the University of Maine, where she worked under the guidance of Dr. Bruce D. Sidell. She was a postdoctoral fellow at The Florida State University until joining the faculty at Valdosta State University in 2006. Dr. Grove was promoted to Associate Professor in 2012. Her research interests are focused on understanding physiological and molecular mechanisms that enable organisms to respond to environmental stresses, using intertidal killifishes adapted to different thermal regimes and the amphibious mangrove killifish as her two model systems. In addition, she has conducted research at Palmer Station, Antarctica, studying physiological adaptations of white-blooded and red-blooded notothenioid fishes and their responses to increases in temperature. At Valdosta State University, Dr. Grove has mentored both graduate and undergraduate students in her laboratory, and she teaches a wide variety of courses that include Principles of Biology II, Animal Physiology, Fish Physiology, Cell Biology, and Protein Biochemistry. She developed this manual to help students expand their understanding of plant and animal physiology and improve their data analysis and critical thinking skills. Her goal is that by helping students build these solid foundations, they will have an appreciation for the integrative nature of biology and will be prepared for more detailed study in upper-level biology courses and life beyond their undergraduate careers. 041b061a72
