Seniors from La Jolla High’s Biomedical Pathway performed a simulated microarray lab which is a way to determine if genes are on or off when they shouldn't be. When the lab was completed they used a UV light to see the results. This type of test is used to detect the possibility and/or cause of certain types of cancer by measuring gene expression. Each student in the Biomedical Innovations class paired with one or two students at home so they could watch the procedure and see the results. Instructor Rachel Tenenbaum is enjoying the continued work in preparing her Seniors for success in Post-Secondary Education and beyond in their careers.
