Students visit the Biochem Lab at the University of Canterbury.

AGHS —

Recently ten of Avonside's BIO222 students had a tour around a Biochem Lab at the University of Canterbury.

The students learnt about what it is like to be studying for a Doctorate in Biochemistry. They were also able to carry out and observe some techniques the scientists often use to replicate and isolate certain proteins they are studying including polymerase chain reaction and gel electrophoresis.
