About this event
Have you ever wondered what mysteries lie in your DNA or why certain traits are expressed while others are not? How can a single strand of hair incriminate someone? And we are on the verge of gene editing? During this one-week intensive module, students learn about genomics technologies, forensic techniques such as DNA fingerprinting, and genetic transformation through a variety of hands-on laboratory activities, interactive discussions, and lectures from world-class speakers. Highlighting the program is the mock crime scene where students collect evidence while learning some of the basics of crime scene investigation from real forensic police officers. They then move into the laboratory where they utilize different experimental methods to analyze the collected evidence and work together to solve the case. From personalized medicine to criminal investigations, the science of molecular biology and genetics is at the centre of many of today’s most contentious issues – students will be encouraged to express their opinions and consider not only the scientific importance but the ethical and social impacts of advances in these fields.
