Advanced Techniques in Molecular Neurobiology (Cold Spring Harbor Labs)

This is a hands on laboratory course dedicated to the molecular biology of the nervous system. It is one of many summer courses offered at the Cold Spring Harbor labs, and it brings together scientists of many different backgrounds and nationalities. Over the course of about 20 days, we learn, at the bench, to build viruses, amplify RNA from single cells, analyze mRNA with gene chips, and create really large BAC transgenes.

All of us in the Molecular Motion Lab taught, laughed, and learned in the course that often goes from early in the morning to early in the morning.

But we've retired from the course. Rusty Lansford, Cary Lai, and James Eberwine now carry on without us.
