#WelchGrantee @georgeluPhD is bringing biotechnology from the lab to the classroom 🔬 @Rice_BIOE new BuoyBeads biotechnology kit is bringing advanced science out of the research lab and into the hands of students. Developed by the Lu lab in collaboration with Rice’s Center for STEM Engagement, the hands-on activity combines biology, chemistry, physics and engineering as students encapsulate living cyanobacteria in polymer beads.
We are inspired by research that will lead the next generation of scientists. Read more: news.rice.edu/news/2026/rice…
