Powerbase Institute, an educational platform, has set up a ‘Young Genius Summer School’ in Baylab, UK, to provide students with long-term development strategies aimed at igniting their passions and skills for the future.
Dr Gregory Makris, Director and Global Clinical Lead in the Vascular and Thrombosis Therapeutic Division of Bayer Pharmaceuticals, London, UK, made the announcement on Monday in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria.
Makris said that they received about 21 students on Aug. 15.
He said, “They experienced an afternoon full of fun as they learnt all about DNA and got the chance to make their very own gene necklaces.
“They are a group committed to building leaders through mentorship, school programmes and creative experiences.
“They are dedicated to promoting innovation, impact, inheritance, and excellence.
“We’d like to thank the Powerbase Institute for the opportunity to educate their students on understanding what makes them unique, and the effect mutations can have on expressed characteristics,” he said.
Apart from igniting passions and expertise through mentorship, school programmes and creative experiences, Powerbase Institute aims to equip its members for the future, with long-term development strategies.
