This course will provide an overview of the current major genome engineering platforms and cover CRISPR genome editing technology in depth. The first part of the course will focus on the general principles of genome editing technology including design, choice of format, delivery, efficiency, specificity, clonal isolation, genotyping, and validation. The second part of the [....]
Statistical analyses are regularly required for nearly every quantitative scientific study. Although simple data analysis tools are tenable for small-scale analyses, more rigorous software can enhance analysis replicability, improve data management, and facilitate more advanced analysis techniques in addition to scaling up to larger datasets. One such program, R is a free, open-source software that [....]

There are inspiring new ways of practicing negotiating in everyday interactions and improve your chances of getting more of what you want.
Created with true beginRs in mind, this training will teach participants the fundamental, transferable skills needed to unleash R’s full potential for producing publication-worthy analyses and visualizations.
Background Computational techniques have become essential in guiding and complementing experimental efforts to gain insight into the structure and function of proteins. In particular, molecular modeling and dynamics simulations play key roles in modern studies of molecular recognition, drug design, functional mechanisms, conformational changes, and protein evolution. Therefore, developing fundamental understanding of these techniques will [....]
Claiming Your Strengths starts with the identification of your key strengths- what you love to do, and your weaknesses- what you hate to do. Strategies are then presented by which you can enhance your career by working your strengths to your advantage while minimizing the impact of your weaknesses.
This five-day online workshop will utilize a combination of lectures and remote Q&A lab sessions in a “boot camp”-like approach for cell-biologists who seek to learn imaging techniques used extensively in biomedical research. Lecture Topics to Include Introduction to Fluorescence Microscopy Immunofluorescence (with workflows) RNAScope (with workflows) Cell Transfection for Fixed and Live Cell Imaging [....]
Many conversations have significant outcomes: interviews, reviews, negotiations. Because the stakes are so high, we fear the outcome, tend to put off the conversation and are not adequately prepared for it. This workshop defines methods for turning potentially confrontational events into constructive dialogues that accomplish the business goals.
