DNA in Three Dimensions
Natalie Nannas, Assistant Professor of Biology, used 3D printing to design and create a 5-foot-long, flexible DNA model to demonstrate complex course topics related to DNA, RNA and CRISPR. The model was used in multiple courses including "Explorations in Biology: Genetic Engineering" (BIO 100) and "Genes and Genomes" (BIO 242).
