Discover how the latest genetic knowledge is helping us move closer to more effective, personalised treatments for disease.
The students’ day at the Perkins includes two engaging sessions hosted by research scientists. They will help students discover how tools are used to uncover clues to better understand disease.
Guided by our great team of Perkins researchers, students will learn about how CRISPR and bioinformatics work. They will discover how these tools are used to develop improved treatments and diagnostic tests for medical conditions. Students will also learn how to use technical tools like a micropipette and mini-centrifuge to extract DNA from cells.
