Event with students from the Paulo Egydio de Oliveira Carvalho Senador State School

On June 18 and 21, Year 11 students from Escola Estadual Paulo Egydio de Oliveira Carvalho Senador visited the university to participate in a training session under the Amgen Biotech Experience program.

The content covered included instructions on the use and care of micropipettes, and the students learned the importance of precision in handling this equipment through fun activities carried out on the Elisa plate, agarose gel, and laminated paper. In addition, the concept of electrophoresis was explained, as well as its practical applications and the importance of this technique for biotechnology. The students also had the opportunity to perform electrophoresis in practice and, at the end of the event, observe the results of their samples running in the electrophoresis tank.

It was two mornings of lots of fun and learning!

We would like to thank all the students from the school for their attendance and we are immensely grateful for all the affection left on the exit tickets. We hope to see you exploring science even further in the future. Keep dreaming big!
