Outreach L.A.B.S. Research
LAB Logo



Laboratory Adventures in the Biological Sciences (L.A.B.S.) is a fun, hands-on program at Northwestern University designed for grade-school children (grades 1 through 7) to challenge and excite interests in laboratory-based biology. The participants will work in small groups with advanced Northwestern undergraduate student-teachers to perform experiments that illustrate the excitement and wonder that science offers. The 2011 L.A.B.S. program will feature laboratory exercises on biotechnology, molecular biology, genetics and cell biology.

A short video on L.A.B.S. can be viewed at You Tube.

Registration for L.A.B.S. 2011 is now closed.

Further questions regarding the program or application procedures can be directed to Georgette (g-pliml@northwestern.edu or 847-467-2126).

L.A.B.S. is made possible by the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Institute for Biomedical Research.
