Welcome to the Genetics Zone!

From 1 to 26 November, school students can connect with working scientists.

Each scientist is trying to learn more about genes, the building blocks of life that make us all who we are!

Students can discover what makes them who they are, and learn how our genetic code relates to our risk of getting ill.

The Genetics Zone is funded by the Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics at the University of Oxford.

Students: Read the scientists’ profiles, Ask questions, Chat, and Vote for your favourite to win £500! Don’t have a username? Ask your teacher!

The Genetics Zone is part of I’m a Scientist, Get me out of here.
