Webinar 9: Teaching Biotech from a Distance - DNA Barcoding in a Regulated Environment

This video is part of the Spring 2020 Teaching Biotech from a Distance webinar series provided by InnovATEBio National Biotechnology Education Center. In this presentation, Dr. Linnea Fletcher, InnovATEBio PI, discusses DNA barcoding and how to adapt biotechnology coursework to teach best practices and procedures for biotechnology students. Dr. Fletcher outlines how to identify standard skills and procedures in the biotechnology industry, and how to incorporate these elements into classwork so that students have an opportunity to adhere to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). In the biotechnology field, these standards encompass people, products, procedures, premises and equipment, and processes. The second part of the webinar presentation demonstrates how students can learn good documentation practices through independent research projects using DNA barcoding. This webinar runs 1:43:58 in length. Additional webinars in the series are available to view separately.
