Science Careers - BiotechnologyMay 11, 2012
Natural Science is a title included in the four-part DVD series "Science Careers: Discover Your Future." The Title V Retooling Science team collaborated with the School of Entertainment and Design Technology (SEDT) at MDC North Campus to develop a four-part DVD series titled "Science Careers: Discover Your Future," and accompanying student booklet to spark student interest in the sciences. The Retooling Science team worked with film professor Dr. Mario Beguiristain and his students in this production. The DVD series includes the following titles: Natural Sciences (14 min.) Biotechnology (11 min.) Plant Science & Aquaculture (11 min.) Ciencias Naturales (Spanish -- 20 min.) The video includes interviews with professionals in the science fields, MDC North Campus science faculty, local high school teachers, as well as students interested in pursuing the many exciting science careers in the future!
Introduction to BiotechnologyMay 17, 2012

Master of BiotechnologyMar 15, 2012
The Master of Biotechnology degree offers students a core competency in advanced molecular biotechnology approaches including molecular biology, protein bioechemistry, proteomics and applied microbiology. In addition it offers students postgraduate level skills in critical thinking, literature and peer review, and experimental design.
Molecular BiologyMay 22, 2012
Paul Andersen explains the major procedures in molecular biology. He starts with a brief description of Taq polymerase extracted from the hot pools of Yellowstone Park. He then uses the analogy of the ransom note to explain each of the processes that are required in genetic engineering. He explains how DNA is cut using restriction enzymes and glued using hydrogen bonds. He explains how gel electrophoresis can be used to sort DNA according to length and how the Polymerase Chain Reaction can be used to copy DNA. He finishes with a brief description of DNA sequencing.
Therapeutic Discovery Project Defending America's Competitiveness in BiotechnologyApr 03, 2012
Projects such as the TDP help American small biotech companies sustain or create high quality, high paying jobs by providing much-needed capital assistance that supports their work and their work force. Capital formation challenges in the industry have forced many biotech companies to halt projects, lay off staff or shutdown all together. Our analysis shows that the industry is approximately one-quarter smaller than it was in 2008. Companies need gap or bridge financing in the present economic environment to prevent the loss of innovation and scientific advancements that have the potential to lead to life saving cures and treatments. Furthermore, the biotech industry is a thriving sector employing 1.3 million Americans in high quality, high paying jobs and is an important growth engine for our economy.
