摘要:
Molecular biology experimental skills have become essential for medical and pharmaceutical undergraduates engaged in scientific research practice. To meet the training needs of molecular biology skills in different disciplines and majors, this study establishes a cross-major, cross-disciplinary, and cross-nationality scientific research mutual assistance group. The training of molecular biology experimental skills was combined with a large-scale senior thesis design, where students collectively practiced and mastered a variety of molecular biology skills such as polymerase chain reaction, protein immunoblotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in a comprehensive experiment. The implementation of this scientific research mutual assistance group model received positive feedbacks from students, who found that their molecular biology skills had significantly improved. The scores of the ‘Molecular Biology’ exam for the pharmaceutical and biological science major members of the research group were 80. 7 and 72. 5, respectively, which were significantly higher than the average scores of 74. 77 and 67. 26 for the same majors. The comprehensive ability of students in molecular biology was enhanced. Multiple members of the research group participated in provincial biopharmaceutical skill competitions and won several second and third prizes. They were successfully funded for six undergraduate innovation and entrepreneurship projects, including one provincial-level and five university-level projects, thus effectively improving students’ scientific research and innovation capabilities. The thesis defense score of the research group members was 86. 12, significantly higher than the average score of 83. 43 for all members of the same defense group, indicating a significant improvement in students’ senior thesis design level and comprehensive quality. The rate of the research group members to continue their graduate school study was 90%, significantly higher than the average
