MERCK - Synthetic Biology
Discover the fundamentals of synthetic biology with MERCK through three interactive and fun experiments.
- Explore how enzyme shapes influence biological processes using lock-and-key models.
- Discover how DNA “codes” affect traits and behaviours.
- Learn how turning genes on and off can create genes that help solve real-world problems.
All experiments are guided with the help of local Merck employees, allowing visitors to connect with real-life scientists and learn first-hand about STEM careers right in their own communities.
