Bioengineering Boot Camp
The Bioengineering Boot Camp is a week-long crash course in which
incoming BE grad students work with current students, postdocs and professors
side by side in an informal and friendly atmosphere that emphasizes the
fun of learning and trying new things together. We think about basic
questions such as sizes and rates in biology, and we try to make measurements
using both standard and cutting-edge techniques. Sample projects include
fluorescence microscopy of bacteria and yeast, Matlab image analysis
of lipid bilayer vesicles, quantitative measurements of gene expression,
manipulation of samples via optical tweezers, and whatever excites us
at the time. The camp is run by Prof. Rob Phillips and builds on the
Physical
Biology Boot Camp that has flourished at Caltech in recent years.
