Leadership Training

Leadership Training (60 hours) during the summer will provide follow-up and recognition to elite teachers who can implement advanced genetics, biotechnology, or research electives – or support the DOE's required 8th grade exit research projects. The workshop will sample molecular and genomic analysis in humans and in key model systems (E. coli, C. elegans, and plants). Participants must attend all 10 days of training.

Leadership training is provided by expert DNALC staff, and is offered free-of-charge to participating teachers. Leadership Training will be held at the Harlem DNA Lab. For additional info, please call (516) 367-5170 or email dnalc@cshl.edu.
