  1. ComGen – The Community College Genomics Research Initiative CCLI Grant (0717470) and TUES type II (1225857)

  2. ComGen model One quarter graduate school experience. Classroom based but….. • Student - Hands on • Instructor - Hand off “I never thought frustrationcould be fun.”

  3. Real research experience – Early on! Prerequisite: General Biology Week1: How to use a micropippettor Week 9/10: I have analyzed five genomic clones!

  4. Biology Majors/Microbiology Regular Lectures + Regular Labs Research Project Increased student engagement Regular Lectures +

  5. Courses using bioinformatics Biology majors Independent Study – fungal phylogeny, phage genomes Microbiology Next-Gen sequencing Stand alone Genomic research course Sanger sequencing Bioinformatics course Other research courses

  6. Bacterial genome • Fungal Phylogeny • Phage genomes • Insect genome? • Other faculty interest projects Research Projects BLAST (Gene identification) Protein structure/function Phylogenetic analysis Comparative genomics Genome assembly Genome annotation

  7. Genomic Diversity of biocontrol Pseudomonas spp. Loper et. al 2012

  8. Partnership for Life Science Education Implementing Vision and Change www.pulsecommunity.org • PULSE • 39 Leadership Fellows; all with leadership experience in driving educational change • Growing community of 1000+ stakeholders • PULSE is an Inclusive National Effort • Anyone can join (Students, faculty, administrators) • PULSE was started by • Currently restructuring towards a newer model Departmental level change
