SUMMARY:Uniting Young Generations with Science through the 6th Genetic Engineering School Events Led by UNAM’s Dr. Urartu Şeker
DESCRIPTION:With the vision of Bilkent University National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) to create high quality and novel knowledge and train qualified human resources\, Dr. Urartu Şeker provided the opportunity for high school students to delve into the realms of genetic engineering and synthetic biology at the Genetic Engineering School\, for the sixth time. \nA group of 23 students partook in a comprehensive program at UNAM from July 8-11\, 2024\, delving into the realms of genetic engineering and biotechnology. Throughout these four days\, they not only received extensive training in these subjects but also actively engaged in hands-on experiments. Throughout the program\, students gained knowledge on topics such as DNA replication\, ancient DNA research\, protein analysis\, and synthetic biology. They also had the opportunity to learn advanced laboratory techniques\, including Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and SDS gel electrophoresis\, through hands-on experiments. Additionally\, they gained detailed insights into the latest developments and applications in biotechnology and developed skills in reading and interpreting scientific articles. \nProgram: \nJuly 8\, 2024 – Monday \n10:00-10:30: Introduction and Opening Remarks\n10:30-11:30: Lecture 1.1: Fundamentals of Evolution and Biotechnology Research\n11:30-12:00: Lecture 1.2: Basic Bioinformatics Methods (Introduction to Bioinformatics Databases)\n12:00-13:00: Lunch Break\n13:00-13:30: Lecture 1.3: Life Molecules DNA/RNA and Genetic Code\n13:30-14:30: Experiment 1: Amplifying and Copying DNA: Polymerase Chain Reaction\n14:30-15:00: Lecture 1.4: Benchling Overview\n15:00-16:00: Experiment 2: Visualization of PCR-Amplified DNA in Agarose Gel\, Wrap-Up \n  \nJuly 9\, 2024 – Tuesday \n10:00-10:30: Lecture 2.1: Examining Biological Records of the Past: Ancient DNA Research\n10:30-11:00: Lecture 2.2: Cell Structure and Function\n11:00-12:00: Lecture 2.3: Heredity and Genetic Information Transfer\n12:00-13:00: Lunch Break\n13:00-15:00: Experiment 3: Gene Transfer to Bacteria\n15:30-16:00: Day Review\, Wrap-Up \n  \nJuly 10\, 2024 – Wednesday \n10:00-10:30: Lecture 3.1: Life Engineering: Synthetic Biology\n10:30-11:30: Evaluation of Gene Transfer Results\n11:30-12:00: Experiment 4: Casting SDS Gel for Protein Analysis\n12:00-13:00: Lunch Break\n13:00-14:00: Experiment 5: Loading Protein Samples onto SDS Gel\n14:00-15:00: Lecture 3.2: How Proteins Fold and What They Look Like: Working with Alphafold\n15:00-16:00: Experiment 6: Visualization of Protein Samples in SDS Gel \n  \nJuly 11\, 2024 – Thursday \n10:00-10:30: How to Read a Scientific Article\n10:30-11:00: Lecture 4.1: The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology\n11:00-12:00: Experiment 7: Production of Fluorescent Proteins in a Cell-Free System\n12:00-13:00: Lunch Break\n13:00-15:00: Lecture 4.2: How Biological Knowledge is Used in Technology Development: Biotechnology\n15:00-16:00: Day Review\, Wrap-Up
