Kushner, David B. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
With the growing importance of the field of RNA biology, undergraduates need to perform RNA-related research. Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) has become an important method in RNA biology. The principles of SELEX were applied to a semester-long course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) in which two…

Carmen Herrera Sandoval; Christopher Borchers; Scott T. Aoki – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Engaging in research experiences as a high school or undergraduate student interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is pivotal for their academic and professional development. A structured teaching framework can help cultivate a student's curiosity and passion for learning and research. In this study, an eight-week…

Thulluru, Aamani; Saad, Luisa; Nagah Abdou, Yasmin; Martin, Arnaud; Kee, Hooi Lynn – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
CRISPR is a technique increasingly used in the laboratory for both fundamental and applied research. We designed and implemented a lab experience for undergraduates to carry out CRISPR technology in the lab, and knockout the wing patterning genes "optix" and "WntA" in "Vanessa cardui" butterflies. Students obtained…

Turner, Ashley N.; Challa, Anil K.; Cooper, Katelyn M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) engage students in authentic research experiences in a course format and can sometimes result in the publication of that research. However, little is known about student-author perceptions of CURE publications. In this study, we examined how students perceive they benefit from authoring a…

Hadi D. Arman; Tu M. Ho; Kaitlyn Varela; Cynthia S. Veliz; Richard B. Zanni; Armando Rodriguez; Zhiwei Wang; Francis K. Yoshimoto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Eleven different laboratory experiments were designed and executed throughout a semester to provide a meaningful research experience for 23 undergraduate biochemistry majors at UTSA. The topic of the semester was based on the idea of exploring new aspects to enhance our understanding of how the human body uses cytochrome P450 enzymes to metabolize…

Park, Eunju; Ha, Minsu – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2022
To effectively employ inquiry-based learning to enhance students' inquiry practices and encourage them to think and act like scientists, science teachers must have a deeper understanding of the factors that influence scientific research and attitudes about scientist practice. This research contains the experience of two postdoctoral researchers in…

Reed, Irene K. Guttilla – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2023
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) can engage large numbers of students and provide a structured environment in which to learn valuable research skills. The ability to implement laboratory-based CUREs was hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic, generating a greater need for online options. A pilot study of an adaptation of a fully…
