Authentic Biology: Student-led research and discovery in schools

Conducting cutting-edge biomedical research in schools and further education

we established a successful cutting-edge research project into a debilitating

describing the process behind the project, and then reflect not only on the

researchers from engagement in such a collaborative project. We describe how,

expand the initial project into Authentic Biology, a national programme of research

their own novel research projects, mainly relating to human disease, and working

and measurable through outcome. The challenge ahead is how to sustain the

technical and financial support for such programmes.
