In YREP: Synthetic Biology, our goal is to educate students on the current application of biology and engineering, along with exposure to biological issues, to cultivate scientific literacy and the biological sciences and their uses. We strive to create a setting for students to explore biotechnology and develop their interest in experimentation through participation in biological engineering, lessons focused on advanced biological fields, guest speakers, open forums, and other community outreach events.
YREP: Synthetic Biology is guided by Ms. Miranda Klees, who serves as the primary faculty mentor for this program.
