Funded Apr 17, 2022Your generous donations provided valuable tools for my classroom that allowed students to gain hands-on biotech lab experience. We have used these tools for multiple experiments, including cultivation of E. coli libraries for expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP). Subsequently, the students also used chromatography methods to purify GFP from the bacterial cells.
Our high school student body is composed of students from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in STEM careers. Hands-on biotech experiments not only give students lab experience, they also allow them to envision themselves as working scientists. This is inspirational and provides students motivation for seeking degrees in science and technology fields.
Thank you for your help. Your donation may have already changed lives.”
