assembly lines fertilizers core product polymerase chain reaction data analysisThis project entails two possibilities for students.
HumeTerra Testing:
PathoScan and HumeTerra have partnered to validate the effectiveness of their latest fertilizer. In this project, students will work with the CTO of HumeTerra to develop an experimental plan. They will then execute this experimental plan and collect results using Polymerase Chain Reaction and Nanopore ITS sequencing. Finally, the student will return a report to HumeTerra detailing their results.
PathoBox Assembly:
The PathoBox is PathoScan's flagship product. In this role, the learner will learn to assemble the PathoBox. They will then analyze the assembly process and give feedback on how the process can be optimized.
The deliverables for this project include a detailed experimental design document, a comprehensive report on the findings, and a presentation summarizing the results. The experimental design document should outline the methodology, control measures, and evaluation criteria. The final report should include data analysis, conclusions, and recommendations. The presentation will be used to communicate the results to PathoScan Technologies Inc. and should highlight key findings and insights.
