Project Duration

May 2016 - Aug 2017

Project Description

The project aims to motivate the undergraduate LIFS students to relate what they have learnt about human genetics to current issues; and then to transfer their knowledge to high school students. The project proposed a new course that engages students in scientific literature review and laboratory-based problems. At the end of the course, students will lead the laboratory exercises that they have optimized to high school students.

Project Outcome

The project is still ongoing. Project outcomes will be updated upon project completion.
