Students receive direct instruction from University of Houston Biology & Biochemistry faculty and are mentored by university students, providing a unique pre-college research experience.
The BioTechnology Academy at the University of Houston offers high school students an immersive week exploring molecular biology and drug discovery. Participants engage in hands-on learning and research concepts, covering topics such as protein binding, docking scenarios, molecular structure visualization, coding, algorithms, and chemical biology and physics. The curriculum also delves into real-world applications, including the study of COVID-19 and cancer proteins. Students gain practical skills and exposure to scientific techniques under the direct instruction of UH Biology & Biochemistry faculty and are mentored by University of Houston undergraduate and graduate students. The program aims to inspire the next generation of molecular biologists and provides a unique opportunity to engage with research previously available only to post-doctoral students.
A typical day involves hands-on activities and direct instruction from UH Biology & Biochemistry faculty, with mentorship from university students.
This camp is ideal for high school students (grades 9-12) interested in molecular biology, drug discovery, and exploring careers in biotechnology.
