International Schools

We welcome booking from international schools and universities. Visiting the Easter Bush Science Outreach Centre is a fantastic opportunity to find out about research at The Roslin Institute, a world-leading centre for animal bioscience and birthplace of Dolly the Sheep. Our secondary programme will be released Autumn 2024, to remain updated about our workshops, events and exciting opportunities please sign up to our mailing list and/or follow us on Twitter @EBSOClab. In the meantime, why not check out our classroom resources that are free to download!

Real-Life Roslin Research | DNA Detectives: Dog Health & Disease

A half-day workshop focused on DNA gel electrophoresis. Students will be introduced to the work of Dr Jeffery Schoenebeck and will analyse DNA samples to discover their genotype for an important, health-related gene. The workshop is supported by scientists, technicians and vets working on our campus, and includes an opportunity for students to find out more about studying and working in science.

Real-life Roslin Research| Genome Editing: Which little piggy?

A hands-on workshop working with scientists and exploring genome editing. This workshop gives a real insight and practical hands-on experience on what life in the lab is like here at The Roslin Institute. Students will be introduced to the current, cutting-edge research of Dr Christine Tait-Burkard and her team who have used genome editing technology to engineer pigs that are genetically resistant to an infectious disease called porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS).
