MAS S61: How To Grow (Almost) Anything


Instructors:

David S. Kong, Director, Community Biotechnology Initiative
George Church, Professor of Genetics, Harvard
Joseph M. Jacobson, Associate Professor of Media Arts and Sciences


Lecture Tuesdays, 2-5pm | E15-359
Recitation, Wednesdays time TBD
Units: 15

Description
Building upon the tradition of ‘How to Make (Almost) Anything,’ we are offering ‘How to Grow (Almost) Anything,’ a course to teach experienced bio-enthusiasts and those new to the life sciences alike skills at the cutting edge of bioengineering and synthetic biology. Each week will feature a lecture from an expert in their respective research domain and hands-on wet lab skills development, with topics including:

  *   Bio Design
  *   Next Generation Synthesis
  *   Bio Production
  *   Protein Design
  *   Synthetic Minimal Cells
  *   Genome Engineering
  *   Engineering the Gut Microbiome
  *   Microfluidics
  *   3D Bio Printing & Biofabrication
  *   Advanced Imaging Techniques
  *   DNA Nanostructures
  *   …and more!

All prospective students must submit an application for the course found here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeNLHWNHewGzD7rxJFNeWI_fGK6XZirPsN_H8LBepQYrEzOnA/viewform>. As we have limited enrollment (15 students), please apply as soon as you can!
For those who wish to join the course that have either no or limited previous wet lab experience, we ask you join our IAP Bio Boot Camp being held January 27-31. Please sign up here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSctzh6xsEMRHCFsnM9bdW7e_ciZTmV95g3Xy6gWncgTawjzyA/viewform>.
We ultimately aim to curate a group of diverse students that, collectively, have wet lab experience, hardware and making experience (e.g., having taken 'How to Make (Almost) Anything'), and other creative or technical experience (e.g., design, art). Join us this spring to grow (almost) anything!
