Subject Activity Strand Content
Have you ever wondered how to take a CAT scan? How editing the genes of mice could help us eradicate disease from human DNA? Or even how you dream?
Supported by our expert staff, each of our sessions will focus on a different field, drawn from the College of Medicine and Health's key areas of undergraduate study.
