Genetic Engineering
The Genetic Engineering Program provides students
with extensive research training, beginning as early as the freshman
year, with a focus on hands-on experience with cutting edge equipment
and techniques of the laboratory. All genetic engineering students have
the opportunity to design and conduct their own independent research,
including preparing a research paper and presenting their work in
seminars. Research opportunities at Cedar Crest College include
investigations into the molecular causes of diseases such as Cancer
and Heart
Disease, the study of Stem
Cells, and infectious diseases caused by pathogenic yeast
and bacteria.
Students routinely present their work with Cedar Crest faculty at the
Pennsylvania Academy of Science annual meeting and at other regional,
state, national and international meetings. Our graduates have a reputation for excellence in research skills when they enter the job market or graduate school.
