Learn how to use DNA fingerprinting to help solve a M**der mystery.
About this Event

During this workshop participants will analyse suspect DNA samples, using modern molecular biological techniques including restriction digests and gel electrophoresis.

At the end of the workshop, participants analyse the DNA fingerprints to determine which of the suspects may be guilty.

This workshop takes place in the Urenco Young Scientist Centre’s teaching laboratory, offering participants a unique opportunity to experience working in a real lab environment.

For safety reasons, all participants must wear closed-toe shoes, and anyone with long hair is required to tie it back.

Warning: this workshop contains discussion of a fictional M**der mystery.


This workshop is strictly for 12 - 14 year-olds and will include a 30 minute supervised lunch break. Participants should bring lunch and a drink.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
