Mini-course introduces cutting-edge imaging of marine organism development
At Hopkins Marine Station, graduate students have the opportunity to spend two weeks in June studying the embryos and larvae of marine organisms, right on the shores where they are found.
Led by biology faculty in the School of Humanities and Sciences, the mini-course presents a range of microscopy techniques to examine the molecular structure and the behavior of marine organisms in their earliest stages of growth.
Mini-courses are offered through the School of Medicine’s Office of Graduate Education, and they highlight interdisciplinary topics of broad interest to the biosciences community. Held during the last few weeks of each quarter, these courses allow graduate students to gain skills and knowledge in new areas without committing to a full quarter of study.
Hopkins Marine Station is part of the Doerr School of Sustainability.
