7th Science Discussion Meeting

The seventh science discussion meeting took place on 7th of September 2013 after a summer hiatus and was lead by Sari Sabban on the topic of Molecular Biology Cloning Protocols.

The discussion involved a typical molecular biology protocol procedure, cloning a Green Fluorescent Protein into a mammalian cell. The explanation started with the synthesis and isolation of the gene from a jelly fish, through the molecular cloning techneaques, and finally to transfect it into mammalian cells and their selection.
