BCH 101 Introduction to Microbiology and Biochemistry Laboratory Practices
Curricular bridge between high school and college for high school and transitional students. A "hands on" introduction to fundamentals in Microbiology and Biochemistry. Bacterial isolation, identification and growth using aseptic technique, microscopy, and metabolic analysis. Experiments with DNA isolation and analysis, protein isolation, and purification, and enzyme kinetics. Lectures and readings on background, theory and applications of these techniques. Field trips to university and industry research laboratories. This course is part of the Summer College in Biotechnology and Life Sciences (SCIBLS) as well as other pre-college, transitional and early-college programs and is offered as 4 week intensive course. Applicants should have completed high school courses in biology and chemistry. Students must have completed no more than 30 credit hours. Departmental approval is required for current NCSU students.

Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary science focused on chemical processes that occur in living systems. The mission of the Biochemistry undergraduate program is to prepare and inspire students for the discovery and dissemination of knowledge to the greater life sciences community through research and instruction. The faculty believe in a balance of interdependent formal classroom instruction with innovative laboratory training and experience in inquiry-based research methods. Classroom and lab training emphasize chemistry, physics, and biology of metabolism, molecular biology, macromolecular structure, function and synthesis. The ultimate goal is to infuse each student with sufficient breadth and depth of understanding that they are conversant in the rigors of life at the molecular level, and capable of contributing to a wide variety of future career paths that require detailed understanding of physical and chemical principles in living systems. Our program is accredited by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
