Projects
Project 1: "Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay". Explore infectious diseases using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) assay. ELISA is a common laboratory technique used to test blood serum for antibodies against disease-causing agents. IQEdu Scholars will work in pairs to diagnose 6 fictitious patients for HIV, Lyme disease, avian influenza (bird flu), or West Nile virus. Hypothetical scenarios will be provided for each patient being tested for each disease. Scholars will analyze the obtained data, write abstract, and prepare PowerPoint presentation. Scholars are encouraged to submit their prepared abstract and PowerPoint presentation for national and international competition.

Projects
DNALC Assay for Antibiotic Resistance
This project will teach IQEdu Scholars about a serious problem facing society-bacterial antibiotic resistance. In addition, this project will introduce IQEdu Scholars basic enzymology assays. IQEdu Scholars will work in pairs. Scholars collect the supernatant from ampicillin-resistant bacterial cultures and perform a simple colorimetric assay to detect the activity of B-lactamase, the enzyme conferring ampicillin resistance. Scholars will analyze the obtained data, write abstract, and prepare PowerPoint presentation. Scholars are encouraged to submit their prepared abstract and PowerPoint presentation for national and international competition.
