Dr. Surzycki teaches laboratory classes employing the techniques introduced in the two courses. His research focuses on development of large-scale DNA sequencing techniques, computer analysis, and genomic screening. He is also co-inventor of the BioNeb cell disruption system, a device that gently breaks cells and randomly shears DNA into uniform fragments of chosen size. The BioNeb was named one of the 100 most technologically significant new products of 1993. During the courses, participants have the opportunity to isolate genomic DNA from their own research organism.
Participants receive a registration discount when they enroll in both courses.
Participants learn techniques and applications that allow them to advance their own research. Each course opens with a Sunday evening reception and lecture. In addition to the daytime laboratory schedule, lectures and continued lab work are planned for three evenings.
