Brief Biographical Sketch:
I'm Arbri, an international student of Biology at MIT. I am really fascinated by the intersection between Science, Technology and Society, and all their very complicated interactions. Definitely not an expert of the field, but I find great pleasure in pointing others to valuable resources where they can learn more about Biotech and its importance! Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)S14622: The (Not So) Many Faces of Biotech in HSSP Summer 2021 (Jul. 10 - 31, 2021)
Have you heard of the amazing power of CRISPR but don't really know how it works? Have you ever wondered why vaccines are so important and how they are developed? In this course we will look into what biotechnology really is, including CRISPR, vaccines and much more, and how we understand it in the 21st century. A little bit of history mixed with some very fascinating science coming from the biotechnology capital of the world, Cambridge, that will surely give you plenty of ideas to think about! Although we will touch on "complicated" topics such as recombinant DNA and germ-line editing, we will explain every concept in sufficient detail to make them crystal clear!
