Faculty and Students Discuss Biology at the University of Alabama
JoVE Tutorials
These videos were published in the Journal of Visualized Experiments and serve to explain both the principles and techniques behind various biomedical science procedures. Visiting the JoVE page yields not only the background, protocols, and explanations for each topic, but also includes recorded techniques to aid others in replicating and expanding on each set of experiments.
