Implementation of a CRISPR/Cas9 course‐based undergraduate research experience (CURE) in the biochemistry curriculum at a small private college

In this course‐based undergraduate research experience (CURE), thirty students enroll in biochemistry per year and participate in a novel CRISPR/Cas9 project in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) research labs in Duluth, MN. Genes of interest in fathead minnows and zebrafish are mutated to assess the validity of adverse outcome pathways based on the existing toxicological data. This work provides all biochemistry and biology majors at the College of Saint Scholastica (CSS) with an opportunity for project ownership and the consequent growth of scientific identity.
