CHEM 0745 - ORGANIC LABORATORY: ANTIBIOTIC DISCOVERY

Minimum Credits: 2
Maximum Credits: 2
This two-credit CURE Organic Chemistry Laboratory Course (CHEM 0745) meets the same requirements as the Organic Chemistry Laboratory Course (CHEM 0345). It also serves as an independent research experience. One major goal of this course is to offer undergraduate students an opportunity to perform authentic scientific research in the laboratory course. This course engages students in learning approaches towards antibiotic discovery in order to address the world¿s current antibiotic crisis. Throughout the semester, students develop strategies for antibiotic compounds isolation and purification using chemical separation techniques, and then characterize these unknown antibiotics using spectroscopic techniques commonly used in organic chemistry.
