What is the sanofi-aventis BioGENEius Challenge of Western Australia?
The sanofi-aventis BioGENEius Challenge of Western Australia is a brilliant opportunity for our next generation of talented scientists. The BioGENEius Challenge of Western Australia will take some of the State’s top high school students from the classroom to the laboratory, giving them the opportunity to work alongside experienced scientists to complete their own biotechnology research project. High school students in years 8 through to 12 and enrolled in any biology or science related units at a WA public or private school, are eligible to nominate to participate in the BioGENEius Challenge. Participating students spend a year undertaking a biotechnology research project with one of WA’s world class biotechnology scientists as mentor. Each year, the two winners from WA will then compete against finalists from the US and Canada in the BioGENEius Challenge held in the USA, in conjunction with the BIO International Conference. The BioGENEius Challenge has run in the USA and Canada since
