Before UCSF

Before arriving to UCSF the students had a two-year course in Biotechnology developed by George Cachianes and co-taught with Julie Reis. The curriculum that George Cachianes developed can be found here.

The students that were selected to be part of the iGEM team also met with Andrew Horwitz and Nili Sommovilla after school for a month preceding the end of the school year. During this time they discussed ideas for the iGEM project and learned about epigenetics.

At UCSF

Finally, they were given multiple assignments to strengthen their knowledge of various subjects in biology and scientific reasoning. The calendar for the those meetings follows...
