Project Duration: 2 semesters
Two Projects: 1 primary engineering, 1 primary biology
Introduction
The Hernandez Research Group is actively developing novel devices for sorting and fractionating complex microbial communities.
Description
In this project the student will develop genomic libraries for the analysis of genomic backgrounds of organisms selected using the devices. The proposed work includes the design of microfluidic devices to perform the selection methodology and DNA/RNA analysis of the selected organisms. The student must have experience with microbiology/molecular biology at the level of introductory undergraduate coursework.
