Molecular Biology 101
A distance learning opportunity
August 9 and 16, 2022
12:30 – 3:00pm (CDT)
Molecular Biology 101 is intended for those professionals that participate in protocol review, facilities planning, and other risk assessment activities but lack a basic understanding of molecular biology and techniques. Following this course, attendees will be able to do more than regurgitate facts and use the new understanding of the principles of molecular biology in various situations at their institution. This course will cover topics such as the chemistry of nucleic acids, DNA replication, RNA transcription, and protein translation, the Central Dogma of Biology, DNA cloning, transfection of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, restriction enzymes, and recombinant DNA lab methodologies (including PCR, DNA fingerprinting, sequencing, and detection protocols). While this course will not turn you into a molecular biologist, it will give you enough background information to understand the nature and manipulation of genetic material and hopefully unveil the mystery of deoxyribonucleic acid.
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Explain the differences and chemistry of nucleic acids
- Define general molecular biology techniques
- Demonstrate an understanding of the principles of molecular biology used to develop recombinant DNA technology and to show how these technologies are used to study biological phenomena
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
- All Safety Professionals
- New Biosafety Professionals
- Non-Scientists that review protocols
COURSE FACULTY
The webinar will be presented by James Klenner, MSc, MPH, MPA, RBP(ABSA), CBSP(ABSA), Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana
SUGGESTED BACKGROUND
- Fundamentals of Biosafety
- Micro/Molecular Biology 101
