All Medical Genetics’ students who wish to participate in the “Guglielmo Project” are offered accommodation for an extra night (May 12th, leaving on May 13th) to be “instructors” for the high school guests.
The Guglielmo Project aims at increasing the knowledge about human genetics and genetic disease among the young, testing new communication techniques between physicians and users of genetic medicine, and introducing new high-qualification courses for students from secondary school.
