CCTE has partnered with Genomatica to provide eight Lincoln High School students paid summer internships in the field of biotechnology. These students will be given the opportunity to work alongside scientists in the lab to gain experience capturing and analyzing relevant experimental data to derive valid conclusions, weighing precisely and pipetting properly to attain real results, and implementing sterile technique to avoid contamination when growing microbial culture. Students applied for these positions by submitting applications that included personal essays and then went through the formal interview process. Genomatica is a leader in bioengineering, developing biobased processes to make widely used chemicals that enable better, more sustainable everyday products.
