Event with students from Brasílio Machado State School

On May 2nd and 3rd, students of Year 11 and 12 from Brasílio Machado State School visited the campus of Mackenzie Presbyterian University, where they had the opportunity to know some professionals from Amgen Brazil and experience training in Laboratory 1 of the Amgen Biotech Experience program.

During their stay on campus, which lasted from 9 am to 3 pm, students were able to experience a brief tour of the most important buildings on campus and learn a little about the history of the university.

During the visit by professionals from Amgen Brazil, the students had the opportunity to talk to the staff team of Amgen Brazil and learn more about the company that sponsors the ABE project. They were able to ask questions, learn more about the different positions in the company, and understand more about the pharmaceutical industry, in addition to exploring the various job opportunities that this sector offers.

They were also able to experience the complete training of Chapter 1 of the ABE program, performing micropipetting experiments, learning how to handle micropipettes with excellence, preparing the agarose gel and, later, conducting an electrophoresis and observing its results.

It was two days of great experience, fun and learning for everyone involved. This event officially inaugurates the beginning of ABE Brazil's activities with students, being the first biotechnology experience offered by ABE Brazil to high school students. Thus, a cycle of great success and new experiences begins.
