Welcome to BioQuEST

Lab-based biology, from microbes to genetics.

Head: Hannah P.Wednesdays, Biology labs

Introduction to BioQuEST

BioQuEST runs lab-based projects, from growing bacteria found on the school field to studying how they resist antibiotics.

BioQuEST students work in small teams on one or two projects a year. Everything they build goes into the project archive, so next year’s team can pick it up where they left off.
