This workshop engages biotechnology and health careers instructors in a hands-on case study examining the physiological and genetic effects of vaping. Participants will explore molecular diagnostics through ELISA assays to detect inflammatory biomarkers and gel electrophoresis to analyze genetic susceptibility. Aligned with CTE biotechnology and health science standards, this session provides actionable strategies for integrating real-world health issues into laboratory instruction, enhancing student understanding of biotechnology’s role in public health, and preparing them for careers in healthcare and biomedical
