Kitchen Lab: Explore the biochemistry of everyday food
Did you know that your kitchen is a biology lab? Discover the fascinating biology hidden in fruit, bread or cheese during this hands-on workshop at the Institute of Biochemistry. For one hour, you will step into a high-tech laboratory and become a researcher.
During the workshop, you will rotate through two interactive stations. In one, you will extract DNA, the blueprint of life, from fruit using simple techniques that you can even try at home. In the other, you will explore the hidden world of fungi and microorganisms under the microscope and discover bread and cheese from a completely new perspective.
Along the way, you will see state-of-the-art research laboratories, meet students and researchers, and gain a behind-the-scenes look at modern biological research. Find out how biochemistry helps us understand living organisms and tackle some of today’s scientific and societal challenges.
