BIO 357 - Biotoxicity of Hookah Tobacco Smoke

Pairs of students will investigate whether altering hookah configurations changes the resulting smoke’s affect on cultured lung cells, as measured by biochemical analysis of cellular viability metrics. The group investigation will include significant experimental design and bench research as well as oral presentations to different audiences, preparing and presenting a scientific poster, and writing a research article.
