Caption

From left to right, Cal Poly biochemistry research students Sunayana Nguyen and Clara Lillie and biology research students Grace Montgomery and Maia Lambson discuss green fluorescent protein (GFP) pictured on the computer monitor, using Napari software, as part of the Engineering Synthetic Cells course. Scientists use GFP in genetic engineering as a visual tag to track proteins, observe cells, and monitor gene activity in living organisms.
