Cynthia Duncan

Working with a team of educators including Margaret Kipp and David Huryk, Duncan's "Biotechnology Initiative" project aims to train students in laboratory problem-solving techniques and develop competence using cutting-edge biotechnology resources, while preparing them for further life-science study and future technological careers. Students at all levels are introduced to the latest in biotechnology equipment and challenged to understand all of the ways in which the science impacts various aspects of daily life. Through their experience studying and using technology in the classroom, students gain the necessary skills to further academic endeavors and to be competitive in the evolving workforce of the future.
