Just as last term drew to a close, the Upper Sixth Biology pupils were taken on an educational visit to Biodynamics SA, a reputable private company specialising in molecular technologies and innovative scientific instruments. The leading molecular biologist, Dr Laura Benzonana, demonstrated the procedure of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), a fascinating DNA amplification technique which is a critical part of the A level Biology syllabus. The demonstration was followed by a short lecture and an interactive discussion during which the pupils expressed great interest and enthusiasm. It was truly a valuable experience, which the class appreciated tremendously.
