The mobile STEM lab is an initiative by the outreach team at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology. With this approach, the team aims to clarify the role of genomics in all aspects of life, stressing the importance of science literacy for non-scientists. The lab will deliver hands-on engagement with genomics research in areas including genetically modified organisms, microbiomes, antibiotic resistance, CRISPR, and personalized health.

If you'd like to organize a visit with the lab, contact IGB's Senior Outreach Activities Coordinator, Dan Urban.

The lab will also provide volunteering opportunities for the scientists at the IGB who represent the diversity of age, gender, race, and ethnicities that are essential at any research institute. Together with these volunteers, the IGB Gene Drive will create novel content for the mobile STEM curricula that will address the concerns of different communities.
