🧬 Ready to take your biotechnology lessons to the next level? 🔬

Explore ABE’s advanced high school biotechnology unit: “Modifying HIC to Affinity Chromatography by Adding HA Tag to pARA-R.”

Developed by ABE Greater Los Angeles Master Teacher Fellow Dan Baker, this 6-session lab-based unit gives advanced students the opportunity to explore how biotechnology is used in commercial protein purification. Students work through bioinformatics, primer design, and molecular biology techniques to engineer a plasmid with an HA affinity tag for red fluorescent protein (RFP)—preparing the tagged protein for purification through chromatography. 🧪🧬

Students can build skills in:
🔹 Bioinformatics & data science
🔹 Primer design
🔹 PCR & restriction enzymes
🔹 DNA ligation
🔹 Pipetting & molecular biology techniques
🔹 Column chromatography
🔹 Protein purification concepts

Perfect for upper-secondary advanced biology/biotechnology students looking for an authentic, industry-connected laboratory experience!

🌟 ABE-LA Teacher of the Month Spotlight 🌟

This month, we're proud to recognize Isabelle De Rego from Susan Miller Dorsey High School for her exceptional dedication to science education and student success! 🧬🔬

Throughout her career, Ms. De Rego has inspired more than 1,000 students to explore the exciting worlds of Biology and Biotechnology. Her classroom goes beyond textbooks, empowering students to think critically, embrace innovation, and discover the real-world impact of science.

Before becoming an educator, she contributed to scientific research as a member of the UCLA Student Stroke Team, where she gained hands-on experience in clinical research and healthcare. Today, she brings that same passion into her classroom, encouraging the next generation of STEM leaders to pursue their curiosity with confidence.

Thank you, Ms. De Rego, for your unwavering commitment to your students and for making a lasting impact on science education. 💙 Congratulations on being our ABE-LA Teacher of the Month! 👏🎉

🌱🧬 What if biotechnology could help solve our food waste problem?

Congratulations to ABE Master Teacher Fellow Joi Hiraishi for developing an innovative curriculum project, Genetically Modified Microbes to Accelerate Composting Food Waste! This engaging environmental science unit empowers students to explore sustainability through the lens of biotechnology by investigating how naturally occurring and genetically modified microbes can enhance composting practices.

Through hands-on experiences with the ABE Focus on Bacteria sequence, students develop laboratory skills, analyze real-world applications of genetic engineering, and discover how science can drive meaningful climate action in their communities. From food waste audits to recombinant DNA technology, this project inspires the next generation of problem-solvers to imagine a more sustainable future.

♻️🔬🌎 Because today's students aren't just learning science—they're using it to change the world.
