The Summer Holidays are coming to an end, still, some of the high school students were thinking about science and development during this wonderful time. In the frame of CANVAS project, three talented students took the opportunity to attend a Molecular and cellular biology workshop in the International Centre for Cancer Vaccine Science. Thanks to the engagement of the Immune Memory and Cell Reprogramming Team led by dr Wojciech Siwek, students have learned a lot about biology and the work of scientists. They had the opportunity to visit the center and its laboratories. After safety and regulation training, participants tried to prepare material for laboratory work and samples for sequencing, or to isolate the plasmids in theory and practice. They were also offered some practical classes on the preparation of plasmids for cloning and electrophoresis. Additionally, the attendants found information about European Union funds, projects and values. We hope to see more students next summer!
