My name is Aubrey Ayotte and I'm a junior with the purpose of graduating with a B.Sc in Chemistry, a double major in Biology, a Psychology Minor and a Certificate Biotechnology! I'm looking forward to working towards a Biotech certificate because I'm fascinated with the concurrent growth of technology and Biology in recent years and the many opportunities that having the certification in Biotechnology can present. Biotechnological experience through the program and internship can help make me more competitive for my ideal future career in pharmaceuticals or biomedical research. I'm excited for the experience and can't wait to get started!

You can graduate with a Certificate in Biotechnology if you fulfill the requirements and you are a current Biology, Marine Biology, Environmental Science or Chemistry Major at RWU. Check in Certificate in Biotechnology for the requirements and application forms! You can download the Application Form and submit it to aespinosa@rwu.edu

My name is Mark and I am in the Biology major and in two minors, chemistry and history. I am currently performing analytical research in which the technique of neutron activation analysis is used to analyze the ratio of the elements Sr and Ca found within fish otolith bones. This ratio can then be used to pinpoint the fish’s point of origin allowing for a better understanding of fish population dynamics. My previous research project was more biotechnology oriented and concerned the sequencing of the ADHE gene of the amoebic parasite Entamoeba invadens.
