Go Girls Examine Genomics at GWU

Rising 10th-, 11th- and 12th-grade girls from Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) were able to take a closer look at the field of genomics during two sessions of the “Go Girl” (Genomic Opportunities for Girls in Research Labs) Camp, held June 20-23 and June 27-30 at the George Washington University Virginia Science and Technology Campus in Ashburn. Shenandoah University's Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy and the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences again partnered with LCPS to provide this unique program for young women interested in experiencing a hands-on laboratory in molecular biology and genomics.
