A scheme to bring Nobel-prize winning science to students across the UK has been showcased to education minister Elizabeth Truss.
The £150,000 Amgen-Bruce Wallace Biotechnology Lab Programme has been running since October 2011 and has reached 40 schools and involved more than 3,000 students across the country.
It was first established in America by human therapeutics and biotechnology company the Amgen Foundation before being rolled out in the UK.
The programme facilitates partnerships which allow schools to access laboratory-grade resources and sees pupils using techniques that they would normally only learn about from textbooks. It supports secondary schools with equipment, curriculum assistance and supplies.
