GENIE

GENIE builds on existing expertise and synergy between world-class science and genetics education in the Department of Genetics at the University of Leicester. We are leading the development of innovative approaches and are establishing a network of institutions engaged in teaching genetics, promoting the sharing of resources and experience. An internationally accessible database of these resources, the Virtual Genetics Education Centre, will also be assembled. Intrinsic to the philosophy is the embedding of generic skills and the application of generic approaches to broader fields, for example, biotechnology, medicine and law. Therefore the learning experience of students from a wide range of subjects will be enhanced, reflecting the broad impact of genetics on science and society.
