This project was prepared as part of a BioQUEST faculty
development workshop entitled Modeling in Bioinformatics at
Lane Community College in
October 2004. The BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium is committed to the reform of undergraduate biology
instruction through an emphasis on engaging students in
realistic scientific practices. This approach is sometimes
characterized as an inquiry driven approach and is
captured in BioQUEST's three P's (problem-posing,
problem-solving, and peer-persuasion). As part of this workshop groups of faculty
were encouraged to initiate innovative curricular
projects. We are sharing these works in progress in the
hope that they will stimulate further exploration,
collaboration and development.

The case studies presented here were developed by students in an upper division molecular biology course. The studies can be used by introductory biology or cell biology students. More advanced students can use recombinant PCR to develop "cancer patient DNA" samples from PCR amplified normal DNA fragments.

Each case study consists of patient health histories, treatment (including surgery to remove tumors), pathology reports, BioQuest Case It activities and sequences used.

In the future we hope to continue to develop more case studies and explore their uses in a variety of courses. I also intend to supplement the studies with more bioinformatics.
