We will visit a working Biotechnology Institute and explore the impact of chromosome disorders on human disease. 

Using HudsonAlpha-developed Disorder Detectives® and Making Sense of Uncertainty™, students will take on the role of cybergeneticistt o dive into the phenomena of next generation science and the diagnostic tools involved in genomic analysis. In this hands-on experience students will utilize real data to make a genomic diagnosis while learning more about the technology, career awareness, and the relatively new science of genomic sequencing.

The experience will start promptly at 9:00 AM.  If you need to follow someone we will be caravaning from the Alabama STEAM Academy.  We will leave at 7:50 in the morning to ensure that we arrive on time. 

This is an all day experience, so students will  need to bring their lunch.  

This trip is for students in grades 9th-12th only.
