Title:
Youth - Detection of Single Transgenic Sample
Agreement Number:
952535
Agreement Value:
$17,280.00
Agreement Date:
Jun 15, 2020 - Dec 18, 2020
Description:
An intern would be beneficial to AquaBounty's research team as the summer months tend to bring many routine diagnostic samples for screening in addition to the R&D projects that have been planned. During this internship, one of many R&D projects that we have planned includes a study to validate a molecular diagnostic assay for the detection of a single transgenic sample within a pool of non transgenic samples. This assay will provide a reliable and much faster, more economical method of screening groups of putative non transgenic samples as they will be prepared as a pool instead of being analyzed individually as they currently are. Having an intern available to work on this project will be key in its success.
