The DNA labs on the road are a huge succes among high schools, teachers and students. But the DNA labs continue in developing educational material and giving insights in modern genomics research.

The first Netherlands National DNA lab day, organised by the Centre for Society and Genomics (CSG) was held on Friday 12 March, in Utrecht. Over 200 teachers, TOAs (technical research assistants) and other interested parties seized the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of the latest scientific developments, new didactics and of course the Mobile DNA laboratories. In addition to keynote speeches on the spread of mankind throughout the world by Peter de Knijff, and ageing by Jan Hoeijmakers, there was a wide range of practical, didactic and substantive workshops available. The Netherlands Proteomics Centre organised the workshop 'Protein Next Top Model' and 'Proteomics voor de Massa'.
