DNA Barcoding and Metabarcoding for CURES Workshops

Funded by the NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education Initiative

The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory DNA Learning Center (DNALC), in collaboration with New York City College of Technology (City Tech), Bowie State University (BSU), and James Madison University (JMU), is offering two five-day workshops on DNA barcoding or metabarcoding in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs). Applicants to these free workshops should be undergraduate teaching faculty with a sincere desire to involve students in authentic research projects, especially in CUREs for students in introductory courses.

  • DNA Barcoding Workshop at Bowie State University, Bowie, MD, June 15-19, 2020
  • DNA Metabarcoding Workshop at CUNY City Tech, Brooklyn, NY, June 22-26, 2020

We will lead this workshop virtually should the current pandemic not subside in time to plan travel to and from these workshops.
