MIP280A3- Early Career Preparation in Microbiology
This course is targeted towards students (ideally sophomores) majoring in the biological sciences who are interested in exploring career options beyond the scope of medical, veterinary, or graduate schools. This course will actively engage students in conversations with professionals in various fields that the students could enter upon graduation. In addition, this course will provide training and practice in vital professional skills that will enable students to secure and succeed in future jobs, including producing quality science communication, pursuing mentorship, crafting a resume/CV, writing a cover letter, and identifying personal strengths and growth areas.
Overall, this course will provide tools for students to achieve success in their future jobs in science or science-adjacent careers. We recognize that students will be entering this course from a variety of backgrounds. We commit to creating a safe, welcoming space and helping students succeed regardless of their backgrounds. We subscribe to a growth mindset, recognizing that we all have the capacity to improve our professional skills and committing to provide the support necessary for students to improve!

Title: Discovery and exploitation of microbe-microbe interactions to CURE bacterial infections Course description: Students will be actively engaged in hypothesis-driven research to investigate the molecular signaling and communication (quorum-sensing) that drives bacterial competition. Students will generate a curated bacterial collection and characterize interactions using molecular reporter strains to identify potential drug-like molecules.
Spring 2020, 4 Credit.
Tuesday & Thursday from 10:00-12:00 in Microbiology CURE laboratory
Class is at maximum capacity this semester.
