Description:
Each student conducts a project under the supervision of a faculty member at Concordia or other research institutions affiliated with the program. The project topic requires approval by the course coordinator. The project is taken over an 8-month (10 hours per week) period at Concordia or other approved institutions or companies. The project is chosen from one or more of the following fields: biotechnology, genomics, bioinformatics, cell/molecular biology, synthetic biology and high-throughput experimentation. The nature of the project can be research, development, or application. A student who is working full- time or part-time can pursue the project in his/her place of employment subject to approval. (Approval is only given to projects which are clearly demonstrated to be independent of the regular work requirement). At the end of the project, the student is required to submit a report on the results of the project and present the results publicly in the form of a scientific poster or a short talk at a scheduled Genomics/Biotechnology Research Day.
