This annual free, widening participation programme for Cambridgeshire-based Year 12 students (16+) took place from 18-21 February (half-term) at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR) and MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit (MBU), in association with St Catharine's College, Cambridge.
Ten students were involved in the programme, four were hosted in MBU laboratories and six in CIMR, with seminars and other group tutorials scheduled during the three day laboratory element. On the Friday, St Catharine’s College hosted our visitors, giving them an idea of University and college life, advising on University applications, touring the college and talking to undergraduate and postgraduate students. Scientists and coordinators of the programme were invited to a final seminar, where the students presented their work.
We congratulate our visitors and everyone involved on another successful event.
