Biochemistry and molecular biology lab courses are evolving. Educators should integrate research opportunities into all undergraduate biochemistry and molecular biology (BMB) labs, not just traditional research settings.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education
  • Undergraduate Science Pedagogy

Background:

  • Lab courses are central to biochemistry and molecular biology (BMB) training.
  • Traditional "cookbook" lab formats are shifting towards more inquiry-based and research-integrated approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore innovative approaches in BMB lab education.
  • To advocate for the integration of research experiences for all undergraduate students in BMB courses.

Main Methods:

  • Combining established laboratory techniques with novel teaching strategies.
  • Transitioning from guided inquiry to course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs).

Main Results:

  • Faculty can adapt their research interests for integration into large-enrollment BMB courses.

  • Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) offer a scalable model for research integration.

    • Conclusions:

    • There is a need to broaden access to authentic research experiences within the BMB undergraduate curriculum.
    • Implementing research opportunities in all BMB lab courses can enhance student learning and engagement.
