Back at the VG&M! Summer Science Club!

Every year the Victoria Gallery and Museum at the University of Liverpool hosts a Summer Science Club with a session per week for six weeks. Each session is hosted by a different group from the University and four members of CPR volunteered to host a Proteomics session. There were 12 students aged nine to 11 who attended the two hour session, having a go at hands-on activities all centered around DNA, proteins and diagnosing diseases.

Winstanley STEM day

For the second year running, a group of staff and students from CPR presented multiple activities, information and answered questions at Winstanley College’s STEM day. Two members also hosted an SDS-PAGE workshop where students, in groups of 3 or 4, where instructed in how to run SDS-PAGE gels, and were able to analyse their own samples.

Winstanley come to visit

Four students from Winstanley College visited our laboratories in the Centre for Proteome Research, University of Liverpool. The students had prepared some samples in their college science lessons and during their visit they were shown how to analyse the samples using one of our Mass Spectrometers. The students were given a tour of the lab and an introduction to Proteomics by the group leads, before participating in some hands-on activities.
