A group of fifth year Braidhurst pupils were recently invited to attend an open evening at the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research in Glasgow. The pupils were able to enjoy four fascinating lectures on the important cancer research work taking place at the Institute. They were then taken on a tour of the impressive laboratories in the building, where they were able to converse with a number of different scientists about various aspects of cell biology and see first hand the techniques being used in the facility. Pupils all agree it had been an intense but highly rewarding night.
