LifeLab Adventure Lab Peterborough

Fri 28 September 2018 - Sat 29 September 2018

Queensgate Shopping Centre

Pop on a lab coat, grab some goggles, and get stuck into some science. Join our LifeLab team as they walk you through some extraordinary experiments. Extract your own DNA and see how easy it is to read a genetic instruction manual. Find out about how the technology has progressed and how this exciting field is looking to build on the work of Peterborough’s own Edith Cavell during the great war to impact on modern healthcare today.

Once you’ve done all that, move on to slightly bigger things! Grab a microscope and experience the rarely seen view of the microscopic world around us. See what some of the world’s most impactful parasites really look like and how these marvellous creatures have adapted to life inside other creatures.
