Bioengineering group held myth busting workshops during Life Sciences Day at Tallinn University of Technology
During the workshops the participants were introduced to different evolutionary and genetic techniques. They were shown how genetic engineering of microorganisms is conducted in the Bioengineering laboratory. Moreover, they participated in a video call to microorganisms under microscope, exploring the differences of wild and GM yeast.
The participants had also an opportunity to see the real life results of these techniques and try and see foods with exotic ingredients.
Life Sciences Day was aimed at high school students for introducing life sciences study programmes in Tallinn University of Technology.
