Event with Paulo Egydio de Oliveira Carvalho Senador State School Students

On June 18 and 21, the junior students from Paulo Egydio de Oliveira Carvalho Senador State School visited the university to participate in the Amgen Biotech Experience student training program.

The content taught included instructions on the use and care of micropipettes, where students learned the importance of precision in handling this equipment through engaging activities conducted on Elisa plates, agarose gel, and laminated paper. Additionally, the concept of electrophoresis was explained, along with its practical applications and the significance of this technique for biotechnology. The students also had the opportunity to perform electrophoresis in practice and, at the end of the event, observe the results of their sample "race" in the electrophoresis tank.

It was two mornings of great fun, learning, and snacks!

We thank all the students for their presence and sincerely appreciate the kind notes left at the end. We hope to see you exploring science even more in the future. Keep dreaming big!
