About

This course will be introducing concepts and techniques in modern molecular biology and immunology. You will learn fundamentals of molecular biology, the principles of lab techniques (PCR, CRISPR-Cas9, DNA sequencing, ELISA...), while also discovering basic Epigenetics. For learners, you could participate in focused discussions and connect theory with real-world applications, which would further build a practical, usable knowledge base for interpreting experiments and scientific literature.

I am currently studying in IBDP HL Biology and HL Chemistry. I got 5 in AP Chemistry when I was in 10th grade. Also, I won global gold in 2026 British Biology Competition, silver prize in 2025 IBO-USACN competition, as well as other certifications in iHOSA, CCC, and IPO. I have engaged in experimental activities and accumulated lab skills; Specifically, I am interested in molecular biology and medicine. For extracurriculars, I am interested in animated films and video games, and I like drawing. (>w<)

SESSION 1

Gene expression and regulation

Fri 12:00 PM - 1:20 PM UTCMar 13, 12:00 PM - 1:20 PM UTC

We will cover the central dogma of molecular biology (DNA → RNA → protein), key mechanisms of gene control, and how cells turn genes on and off. These foundational concepts will provide the essential framework for understanding all later topics, including CRISPR, DNA sequencing, epigenetics, and so on.😺
