Molecular CaseNet is ...
- A community of educators and scholars developing and using Molecular Case Studies (MCS), promoting exploration of the molecular basis of biological phenomena, understanding real world problems, and developing solutions at the interface of biology and chemistry.
- Molecular Case Studies can help introduce students (and teachers) to molecular visualization and analysis, and engage them in using authentic research data from open access biological databases, and mainstream bioinformatics tools. Each case is modular, interdisciplinary, adaptable to different curricular contexts, and completes at least one Molecular Case Study cycle. Explore examples.
