Recently our Year 11 and 12 Biology classes undertook a half-day excursion to the medical laboratories at CQU. Students had the opportunity to find out how research laboratories work by undertaking experiments such as investigating the effects of Ampicillin and other chemicals on the growth of E. coli bacteria and conducting genetic testing on their own DNA.
A very big thank you to CQUniversity - Bundaberg, Dr Andrew Fenning, Research Assistant Katy Li, and staff for allowing the students to get an insight into how biological research works in a real-world situation.
