Some of us use microbiology regularly in our kitchens for baking bread or making yogurt. Many people even make their own beer and wine. Still, even as a microbiologist, I never considered teaching Microbiology through distance learning. Ms. Consani is the first person I've met who does this. She has taught Microbiology online for the past five years using a kit from https://www.scienceinteractive.com/lab-kits/ in addition to seven years of experience teaching online labs in general biology and histology.

Antibodies are one of the most common products made by biotech companies. They are used to provide passive immunity to certain kinds of viruses and some bacterial toxins. They are used to treat many forms of cancer. At least 41 companies are currently working to develop, test for, or isolate antibodies against COVID-19. A few weeks ago, we heard Dr. Margaret Bryans from the Northeast Biomanufacturing Center and Collaborative (NBC2), at Montgomery County Community College, talk about an online module for teaching students about the downstream portion of biomanufacturing. Since that time, her ...
Production of this Downstream processing eLearning module was funded by a DOL grant (DOL #TC-23761-12-60-A-37) led by Russ Read at Forsyth Technical Community College. The Montgomery County Community College leads were Jack O'Neill, PhD, Sonia Wallman, PhD, and Margaret Byrans, PhD. The entry page has links to three parts: Module ...
Biotech instructors across the US have been stepping up to help out their colleagues and share materials for teaching concepts in biomanufacturing. While we all acknowledge that working with virtual tools is not the same as working with our own bioreactors, we can see useful features that may keep some ...
How can you teach strategies for protein purification without a lab? Protein Purification is an award-winning program which has been widely used in schools, colleges and universities since 1983. It guides students (and experts!) through some of the more commonly-used protein separation techniques and lets them experiment. Students can begin ...
VIEW THE RECORDING Antibodies are one of the most common products made by biotech companies. They can be used to block viral infections and treat many forms of cancer. But first, we need to grow the cells that make them (biomanufacturing - upstream processing) and then, we need to purify them (downstream processing). In this week's Friday webinar, Dr. Margaret Bryans will tell us about an on-line module from Montgomery County Community College for biomanufacturing where students learn about downstream processing and antibody purification. Bruce Van Dyke from Quincy College will show us how to ...

VIEW THE RECORDING Dr. Bruce Van Dyke, Quincy College, MA, will talk about the on-line system he and Yakov Cherner developed for introducing students to concepts in upstream single-use biomanufacturing. Funding for this project was provided by the National Science Foundation's ATE program, through ATE project grant DUE 1902673, and from a U.S. Department of Labor TAACCT grant. Registration is closed, but check back, we will be posting materials on-line soon.
