On Thursday, 21 May, six Year 12 students visited the Westmead Institute for Medical Research. They explored the life of medical researchers, met professors and PhD students, and toured labs in genomics, imaging, and virology. An alumnus of Girraween High School, Dr Joey Lai, demonstrated cutting-edge cancer research technology. The students also attended a seminar by Dr Archita Mishra on foetal microbiome development and her lab’s work.

Thanks to the University of Sydney for this valuable learning opportunity!

Next Monday, the 25th of May is Jeans for Genes Day at GHS!

Remember to wear jeans and the coloured top assigned to your year according to the poster and bring a gold coin - it is a donation after all. Let's support the cause!
