Things you can do in this lab:
Most importantly, learn how to study Science and present your research to others.
Here, you will be able to think, design, and handle your project related to the PI's field.
Based on your project, you could learn to be a molecular biologist, a biochemist, a microbiologist, an organic chemist, a plant biologist, or whatever -ist that you would like to be.
You can work with other people sharing the same research interest with you.
You will also have opportunities to present your works at a conference and communicate with other scientists in the field.
Techniques that you can learn here:
Techniques that you can learn here:
Components in central dogma: Isolate and work with DNA, RNA, and proteins.
Molecular cloning: How to "build" your own plasmid? It's a basic technique in molecular biology.
Synthetic biology: Do you want to make cyanobacteria as cell factories? Here is the way!
Microscopy: Important for microbiologists. Most microbes are too small to be seen by naked eyes.
Aseptic techniques: All the skills you need to keep your culture clean without contamination.
Isolation of bacteria from the environment: This is the way that we can identify and grow new species
16S rRNA sequencing and data analysis: This technique tells you the relative abundance and composition of bacteria in the environment.
Spectroscopy: Why cyanobacteria have color? Find the absorption and fluorescence spectra of them. Their color comes from pigments and phycobiliproteins, which show different spectral properties from species to species.
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC): The most expensive instrument in our lab. We use it to separate and identify pigments.
