COEC Teacher Workshop - Workshop Closed!
Please bookmark this page for our 2009 workshop series.

Tuesday, July 22 and Thursday, July 24, 2008


Come to the MIT Campus in Cambridge, MA for two days with colleagues and MIT researchers on the topic of DNA and gene- environment interactions.

Led by COEC Director Kathy Vandiver, each day begins with several engaging activities to refresh core concepts including cell division, mutation, DNA damage and repair, and protein synthesis.  We include a trip to the MIT Museum's Learning Lab: the Cell.

Past workshops have included afternoons featuring lab work and research presentations on DNA damage and repair by Professors Jeffrey Coderre and Bevin Engelward.  A hands-on investigation with mutant yeast cells has been conducted in the Samson Lab.
