Japanese pupils from the Japanese School, Acton and British
pupils from Drayton Manor High School, Hanwell have had the unique
opportunity to work with scientists in the genetic therapies
centre, department of chemistry.
Pupils, pictured right in labs analysing the results from their
plasmid digest experiments, encountered at first hand scientific
research in practice, while undertaking their own experiments in an
event hosted by Professor Andrew Miller, Dr Wendy Walker and the
GTC team.
The centre is working with the schools to pioneer a new kind of
partnership between Britain and Japan through which young people
experience science as a real life challenge and Anglo-Japanese
cultural bridge.
The UK-Japan Science, Creativity and the Young Mind pilot is
supported by the Embassy of Japan and is facilitated by Clifton
Scientific Trust. Presentations took part at the Japanese school in
front of representatives from the Embassy of Japan, JSPS and
EPSRC.
