Join Wales Gene Park, Techniquest and the University of South Wales to learn more about the latest advances in the fast-moving field of genetics and genomics. Bring cutting-edge biology into your secondary classroom with expert talks and an interactive session.
We are running a one-day Genetics & Genomics CPD workshop for teachers, funded by STEM Learning. The day will include a series of talks from expert speakers on subjects relevant to the WJEC AS/A-level biology curriculum (topics include The 100,000 Genomes Project, epigenetics, pathogen genomics, DNA fingerprinting and more), followed by a hands-on session on DNA fingerprinting. There will also be a tour of the facilities including a visit to the Crime Scene House and a chance to hear about some of the opportunities the University of South Wales can offer prospective students!
