The Amgen Biotech Experience is celebrating its 30^th anniversary this month. Since 1990, ABE has empowered secondary school science teachers around the world to implement real-world biotechnology labs in their classrooms, providing teacher training, curriculum materials and research-grade equipment at no cost.

On Monday 29th June we ran an online teacher training workshop to try out ABE Ireland’s new material on bioinformatics with two wonderful teachers and their great students. 

We were delighted to work with our partners in the National Institute of Biotechnology Research & Training (NIBRT) to facilitate a visit to the ABE Ireland site in University College Dublin by 6 pupils on the 2020 NIBRT Transition Year programme.
