DNA barcoding is a popular technique for undergraduate research projects. In this webinar, Dr. Linnea Fletcher will describe how this technique can be adapted for use in biotechnology education programs by incorporating principles of working in a regulated environment such as GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices). The Austin Community College (ACC) Biotechnology program introduces students to the 5 P’s of GMP [people, premises, processes, products and procedures (paperwork)] while they're using DNA barcoding to identify samples. Combining GMPs with DNA barcoding makes learning cGMPs more ...
