UB students, faculty and staff volunteer for this event, which offers 400 Buffalo Public Schools eighth graders to visit UB’s Center of Excellence and Roswell Park to learn about DNA, genetics, careers, and extract their own DNA from cheek cells. Volunteers lead groups of 10 students and a chaperone through the DNA extraction and conversation. Contact Sandra Small, PhD, at sksmall@buffalo.edu or 716-888-4851 to find out more.
