A curriculum-integrated learning experience linking experimental pharmacology, cell culture and Nrf2-related gene expression analysis in undergraduate biotechnology education

Abstract

Undergraduate biotechnology education requires integrated, experiential approaches that help students connect pharmacological modulation, cellular models, molecular analysis and data interpretation within coherent biological problems. This study describes and evaluates a curriculum-integrated learning experience linking experimental pharmacology, cell culture and Nrf2-related gene expression analysis in third-year Biotechnology students.
