• Venue: UTP
• Description: A basic refresher course on how DNA stores information in the cell, and how it is involved in cellular replication.

DNA 102: Protein creation relationship to cellular function. 26 May

• Instructor: Dr. Abby Guerra
• Date: 26 May 17h00-20h00
• Venue: UTP
• Description: Introduction to how DNA drives cellular functions by creating proteins

DNA 103: DNA modification, plasmids

• Instructor: Dr. Abby Guerra
• Date: 26 May 17h00-20h00
• Venue: UTP

INDICASAT lecture: Drug discovery in nature

• Instructor: Dr. Sergio Martinez
• Date: (17h00-20h00 Thursday 3rd June)
• Venue: INDICASAT
• Description:Would be a brainstorming session as students start thinking about projects. It would be GREAT if we could take a molecule discovered by INDICASAT in coral/frogs/nature and put it in E. coli!...

• Description: How to handle pipettes, clean test tubes, etc.

Wetlab 102: Let's raise a few E. coli

• Instructor: Lorena Coronado and and Dr. Carmenza Spadafora
• Date: (17h00-20h00 11th of June)
• Venue: INDICASAT
• Description: How does one handle E. coli?

Wetlab 103: Let's make an E. coli that fluoresce (or some simple BioBrick project)

• Instructor: INDICASAT, Dr. Carmenza Spadafora
• Date: (17h00-20h00 11th of June)
• Venue: INDICASAT
• Description: We identify a simple project based on past iGEM work and do our first BioBrick protocol project. Nothing innovative, but an opportunity to practice the protocols.
