Seacoast School of Technology
Biotechnology
Students come to SST's Biotechnology program with aspirations of doing lab research to cure cancer, or using DNA testing to help catch criminals, or learning the techniques of exploring the human genome. Using the same technology and lab procedures employed in commercial research facilities, SST students equip themselves with the skills to make major scientific discoveries.
Units studied in Biotechnology include scientific methodologies, environmental biotechnology, cellular and microbiology, immunology, forensics, genetics, DNA sequencing, organism modeling and much more.
Biotechnology students participate in the New Hampshire Science and Engineering Exposition (NHSEE), which gives them the opportunity to showcase their research and make connections with scientists throughout the state.
The first year of SST's Biotechnology program fulfills each of the six sending high schools' Biology graduation requirement.
