ATEC initiated an Algal-based Biotechnology Curriculum in the Fall 2017 semester. Algal-based instruction is inserted into existing course syllabi due to similarity in techniques and instrumentation of classic bacterial and yeast coursework. Each intro biotechnology course includes algal insertable laboratory and lecture modules. Additionally, two, 1-week laboratory intensive courses have been developed. Courses include: Bioinformatics, Laboratory Instrumentation, Cell Culture Techniques, Molecular Techniques, and Biomanufacturing.
In the 2023–2024 fiscal year, we reached:
