The areas of plant and animal biotechnology utilize living organisms or         their components in both basic and applied research and also in                 industrial processes.  In response to the vast potential offered by this        field, the Biology Department at the State University of New York-              College at Oneonta has developed a Biotechnology Study Option for               undergraduates.  The key course in this study option is a one-semester          interdisciplinary course entitled Biotechnology.  This course provides          students with an introduction to the basic techniques of biotechnology          and the theory behind them.  In order to accomplish this, a plant cell          biologist, a microbiologist, a geneticist, and a biochemist team-teach          the course, providing the necessary background to students' lectures,           laboratories, and demonstrations.  The NSF award enables this department        to purchase two major instruments needed to launch the program -- a cell        fusion system and a tabletop ultracentrifuge.
