Cancer Laboratory & Do-It-Yourself Biology Grades 9-12 as of September 2016

Why do cells begin to grow out of control and become cancerous? Explore the molecular causes of cancer, methods to detect/diagnose cancer, currently available anti-cancer therapeutics, and developing cancer therapeutics. Students will learn current laboratory protocols including DNA restriction digests, gel electrophoresis, and ELISAs, used to detect cancer biomarkers. Other experiences include sheep brain dissection and building your own smart phone microscope

Next Gen Science – Origami of Life with BioinformaticsGrades 9-12 as of September 2016

Science and Medicine are advancing at a fast pace, and it seems like science fiction is quickly becoming science fact. Have you ever thought, "How is that possible?"  Thanks to cutting-edge computational biology and bioinformatics, that future is now.

Delve into the world of genomics, proteomics, genetic sequencing, and other next-gen sciences and immerse yourselves in a universe of infinite possibilities. The students in this camp learn about bioinformatics techniques, learn to use powerful databases and tools, and explore cutting-edge computational biology research relating to biotechnology and medicine. This dry lab comes with an introduction to bioinformatic tools like BLAST, which gives campers insight into studying protein sequences, conducting comparative analysis of sequences, and the application of computational biology in biomedical research. It will teach the students how mutations can radically change the structure of the proteins, which is a key point in developing personalized medicine.

Crime Scene Investigation (CSI)-Solving a Murder Mystery Grades 9-12 as of September 2016

Camp BIOmed is back with its most sought-after camp track - CSI ! The campers will learn and apply various scientific techniques, including DNA fingerprinting via gel electrophoresis and restriction digests, ELISAs (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays), blood typing, heart dissection, and blood spatter analysis. At the end of the
