Infrastructure & Equipment

Abstract

The SPH Biolab is a dedicated space for students interested in biology and hands-on experimentation, outside your studies. No prior biology expertise is needed. Students benefit from access to lab facilities, personalized lab introductions, expert scientific mentoring, and a vibrant student network. As part of the SPH community, you’ll also enjoy coaching, funding opportunities, and additional resources to support your work and enhance your skills. Join the Biolab with your own project.

 • Drive Your Own Project from Start to Finish: Learn to independently plan, organize, and manage bio projects, building essential project management skills.

 • Collaborate and Share Ideas Effectively: Work in a team, present findings, and refine communication skills crucial for scientific and professional growth.

Content

Give all students access to conduct their own bio experiment, strengthen interdisciplinary idea exchange and support student projects.
