Learn the foundations of genetic engineering through hands-on experiments and guided lectures.
This bundle combines a biotechnology starter lab kit with a structured video course covering core bioengineering concepts. Students perform real experiments while learning the theory behind modern genetic technologies.
• Perform basic genetic engineering experiments
• Learn laboratory techniques used in biotechnology
• Follow step-by-step experiments guided by lectures
• DNA structure and gene expression
• Plasmids and bacterial transformation
• Fluorescent proteins and reporter genes
• Foundations of modern bioengineering
Class includes guest lectures from
Dr. George Church and Dr. Kate Adamala

I’m working as an AI engineer for a company focused on 3d genomics, my background is computational. The google classroom took a moment to get used to, but this course has helped greatly with my understanding of the biology fundamentals underlying the in-silico mutagenesis and perturbation I’ve been researching. Highly recommend!
I actually got this gift for my birthday and I was very stoked when I got it. The next day I immediately got to work on learning and I'm learning more then I ever would of thought i would about genetic engineering ! Shout out to my wife for getting me this kit I begged her for.
Kit is good, easy instructions, very informative. It’s very fun to mess around with different bacteria, and cells. Definitely a good investment.
Great customer service and high quality equipment.
I fell in love by bioengieering at first sight... its great! the problem is i'm poor, tight on cash and US$ 349,00 means 5x greater here in Brazil and that compromize my low wages and i have a lot of debts to pay. But let's never give up... hoping things get better and be ready to order. By for now collegues. Keep the good activities.
I appreciate this alternative to conventional classes, product contained everything I needed within the context of the class without having to spend a small fortune. Looking forward to taking bioengineering 102 when it becomes available
super deal with alot of bio learning great for just learning this science
Thank you for putting together such an amazing course! I had no idea that the only thing that separates living things from nonliving things is cells, and it is so incredible to understand how these basic building blocks of life can be used to make lives better! Your course lays a clear bioengineering foundation and then provides the opportunity to use that knowledge to do real bioengineering and work with antibiotics, crispr, bioluminescent bacteria and much more! Education with practical application is the perfect combo, and you provide it brilliantly with your course. I truly love it! Thank you!!!
Wonderful service from THE ODIN! I was scared but it was all because of the USPS logistics and my country's postal service and they kindly answered me for my peace of mind! 100% recommended so now I will try to learn to see if I can start practicing with some mushrooms and some cyanobacteria that I am interested in studying .... Thank you very much The Odin!
