Bread, Cells, and Industry: A Genzyme Teacher Seminar
Saturday, May 10
Middle school teachers and Genzyme biotech professionals team up in a one-day seminar to explore yeast as a bio-system and how the process of bread making can be used to demonstrate biotechnology principles. Building on this work, the seminar explores how these same principals apply to the manufacture of custom cells for patient therapies. Working side by side with Genzyme professionals, teachers will have ample time to ask questions and discuss concepts. The day finishes with a tour of a Genzyme cell manufacturing facility in Cambridge.
The program takes place at the Museum of Science on Saturday, May 10, 8:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. The tour of Genzyme's facility will end by 4:00 p.m.
Space is limited. Apply online by April 18; follow the link below. Applicants will be notified of their status by April 25.
This program is made possible through generous funding from Genzyme Corporation.

Recognize that all organisms are composed of cells, and that many organisms are single-celled (unicellular), e.g., bacteria, yeast. In these single-celled organisms, one cell must carry out all of the basic functions of life. - Technology/Engineering > 7.0 Bioengineering Technologies (Grade: 6 – 8)
Broad Concept: Bioengineering technologies explore the production of mechanical devices, products, biological substances, and organisms to improve health and/or contribute improvement to our daily lives.
