Experience what it is do genetic engineering from the comfort of your chair or desk, in less than 30 minutes. You’ll get to see how microorganisms are genetically engineered to become micro-factories to produce products. You can choose one of two adventures: produce red ink, or banana scent. After you've completed the simulation, you can get a free Virtual Bioengineer certificate to show off!

After downloading the app you will interact with objects through drag and drop and clicking. Bottles, petri dishes, bacteria, DNA, and more. You will complete the duties a genetic engineer would while doing a basic task - engineering E. coli bacteria with a plasmid:

-Making LB agar plates -Streak & grow bacteria -Transform bacteria -Recover, plate, and incubate those cells -See the bacteria grow!

Scientist and Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman famously said, "What I cannot create, I do not understand". Science is not just about researching the unknown, it is also about creating, and building with biology to create new and useful things.

Biology and living systems are amazing. One of the best ways to understand how they work is to engineer with them. Genetic engineering is just that! What is genetic engineering? How does one do genetic engineering? Virtual Bioengineer takes you through a genetic engineering journey. Learn how to grow bacteria and engineer them with DNA! In the end, you'll a glimpse of where modern medicine, food, and many materials come from.

Disfrute cada paso en el simulador no solo por el aprendizaje y el reto de terminar los siete niveles, sino porque mi compañero de laboratorio fue mi hijo.
