Laboratory Introduction

The laboratory is an integral part of the Microbiology course. It provides the student an opportunity to learn basic microbiological techniques, and introduces him/her to a case based approach to microorganisms. The laboratory meets for seven weeks beginning the end of September. Lab sessions are Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning or Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. Sign up for laboratory sections will be in September.

We realize that some students have had extensive training in Medical Microbiology laboratory procedures. For these students, exemption from the laboratory is possible. Exempt students will take the laboratory examination in November, and will meet with a faculty instructor for one hour each week that the regular laboratory meets to discuss case histories. For further information, please contact Catharine B. Saelinger.

Dr. John Loper (558-0086; Email John.Loper@uc.edu) is in charge of the laboratory. Mrs. Eartell Brownlow is responsible for the daily working of the lab.
