Webinar 5: Teaching Biotech from a Distance - Examples and Sharing

Dr. Daiyuan ("Daisy") Zhang from Del Mar College described how she adapted to her college's shut down by having her students do online research related to SARS-CoV-2.  Students used nucleotide BLAST to investigate where the virus came from and look at mutations.  They used primer-blast to design and evaluate primers.  Last, they planned how they would grow a related virus in cell culture, identifying what they would investigate, designing lab protocols, and working out how to do the experiments.
