Students in Mrs. Pietrantonio's AP Biology class and Mr. Palermo and Mrs. Refino's Science Research classes visited the Cold Spring Harbor DNA Learning Center and conducted a hands-on laboratory experiment on bacterial transformation.
Students worked with Dr. Cristina Fernandez to genetically engineer E. coli bacteria to uptake the genes for green fluorescence and ampicillin resistance.
The prestigious Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories are well known for advances in scientific research, most notably the work which contributed to the discovery of the DNA double helix structure.
