What You'll Learn
Six core domains of genetic engineering — from the central dogma to CRISPR and real-world biotech applications
Molecular Biology Fundamentals
Genes, DNA, RNA, proteins, and the central dogma — the essential foundation every genetic engineer needs before touching a pipette.
FoundationLab Techniques & DNA Tools
PCR and its variations, gel electrophoresis, blotting techniques, DNA isolation, purification, and spectrophotometric analysis.
Core SkillCloning & Vectors
Restriction enzymes, ligases, gene amplification, plasmids, cosmids, viral vectors, and expression systems for gene delivery.
In-DemandCRISPR-Cas9 & Gene Editing
CRISPR guide RNA design, RNAi gene silencing, site-directed mutagenesis, and knock-in/knock-out strategies.
Cutting EdgeApplications: GMOs, Therapy & Biotech
Therapeutic proteins (insulin, vaccines), gene therapy, personalized medicine, biosensors, molecular diagnostics, and GMO development.
Applied ScienceBioinformatics & Ethics
NCBI, GenBank, sequence alignment, primer design, CRISPR off-target analysis, biosafety regulations, and IP in biotechnology.
AdvancedBuilt for the Next Generation of Life Scientists
A program that connects theory to application — covering 9 modules across molecular biology, gene editing, protein science, and biotech industry practice.
This course follows Skillumni's industry-aligned genetic engineering curriculum. You begin with the history and scope of the field, then build a solid foundation in molecular biology — genes, DNA, RNA, the central dogma, and how they connect to real biotechnology outcomes. Core lab techniques follow: DNA isolation, PCR, gel electrophoresis, and spectrophotometric analysis.
You'll then work through restriction enzymes and cloning, vectors and gene delivery, and master modern gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, RNAi, and site-directed mutagenesis. The advanced modules cover protein expression and purification, applications in GMOs, gene therapy, and biosensors, and the full bioinformatics toolkit — NCBI, GenBank, primer design, and CRISPR off-target analysis. The course closes with ethical, legal, and regulatory frameworks every working biotechnologist needs to know.
