IMTC is working
with the Departments of Biomedical
Engineering of both Emory University
and Georgia Tech to develop a web-based interactive virtual
laboratory for the study of molecular and cell biology. The virtual
laboratory will familiarize undergraduate and graduate students
with typical bioengineering laboratory techniques, while teaching
them to analyze their laboratory results and develop alternative
laboratory methods.
The experiments covered focus on the areas
of cell biology and tissue engineering, gene expression analysis,
and protein expression analysis. Once completed, the laboratories
are intended to act not only as an extension of the courses for
Georgia Tech
and Emory biomedical engineering students, but also as the laboratory
portion of distance learning courses in this area.
