The BOMM Program

Biology, Organic Chemistry, and Mathematical Modeling

Experience an integrated authentic laboratory research experience at Mercer University that combines Biology (BIO 212) and Organic Chemistry (CHM 221) with additional Mathematical Modeling (during BIO recitation).
Accepting applications for Fall 2022 until 11:59 pm March 6th

Authentic Laboratory Research

Biofilm drug discovery

Mobirise

Test potential drugs

The laboratory experience starts by testing previously made compounds against biofilm formation.  This requires learning aseptic technique, proper handling of bacterial cells, use of microplate washers and readers, and data analysis.

Mobirise

Design your own

Using the data you collect along with past BOMM data, your group will devise a hypothesis and design new compounds to test against biofilms.  Each group will design six new compounds using a combinatorial approach.
