At the Department of Life Sciences Core Education Laboratories, we are committed to developing innovative laboratory curricula that meet the evolving demands of the life sciences field. Our primary goal is to design hands-on experiments that align with the second-year physiology and molecular biology laboratory courses. The LS7L laboratory course is taken at the end of the LS7 series concurent with LS7C (Physiology and Human Biology), offering students practical experience in both physiology (LS7C) and molecular biology (LS7A). The LS Labs provide opportunities to conduct both traditional wet-lab experiments and cutting-edge bioinformatics research. Working in groups of three, undergraduate students will engage in experiments covering physiology, metabolism, cell biology, molecular biology, genotyping, and bioinformatics. Over the course of a single quarter, students will complete 10 lab sessions, each supplemented by weekly online pre-lab modules, quizzes, video quizzes, and post-lab assessments. Additionally, LS7L places a strong emphasis on scientific writing.
