Description
- Students simulate real-world disease surveillance by analyzing wastewater for Norovirus and E. coli using gel electrophoresis
- Hands-on use of core biotech tools to detect and identify pathogens in simulated water samples
- Demonstrates how wastewater testing gives early warnings of outbreaks and informs public health responses
- This project was made possible by a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA),
- Grant Number 2R44GM143977-02, from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
- Wastewater testing is a public health tool that helps scientists track specific diseases in a community
- In this experiment, students use electrophoresis to test simulated water samples for bacteria and viruses
- By learning how wastewater monitoring works, students see how biotechnology helps protect public health
