About this Event
The Amgen Biotech Experience (ABE) is designed to enrich biology learning and teaching, particularly at A-level and key stage 4, through the experience and excitement of real-world bioscience. ABE provides schools and colleges with free CPD training, equipment loans and all the consumables needed to run molecular biology practicals.
Course 1 covers restriction enzyme digests, ligations and gel electrophoresis.
ABE is an international programme, and the University of Hull is an established hub.
Each new school/college needs to book places for TWO people, one teacher and one technician. Trainee teachers may book a single place.
The training programme consists of the following:
- Introduction to the programme and supporting resources
- Hands-on training with the equipment
- Lesson planning and integration of the programme with the taught curriculum.
- Health and safety considerations
- Question and answer sessions with facilitators
- Training in setting up equipment and reagents required
- Practice of key techniques
- Troubleshooting and support from ABE technicians
Further information available from AMGEN Biotech Experience website (University at Herfordshire).
The course will take place on the University of Hull campus, joining instructions will be sent closer to the event.
