The course aims to give a taster of genetics research and an insight into applications of molecular genetics including clinical and forensic applications.

The course will be held in Institute of Education laboratories based in Central London. The course is free of charge , but students are expected to meet their own travel and lunch costs. Non-attendance, without a medical certificate, will result in the student’s institution being invoiced for the full cost of the course.
