Year 11: Stem Cells

SPECTACULAR STEM CELLS

Learn how research procedures and stem cells have provided a more accurate understanding of how to manage disease.

Session 1: Students will be guided by a researcher through the laboratory technique to thaw, prepare and stain stem cells used for investigating liver cancer.

Session 2: This session includes an insight into the developments and progress in stem cell research. It is followed by a fun, competitive exploration where students engage with tasks aimed at uncovering the secrets of stem cell research surrounding inherited retinal disease. A highlight includes each team being challenged to get the best score in the giant floor game ‘Start as a Stem Cell’.
