Instituto Bernabeu is celebrating world DNA day today by inviting students to visit its genetics laboratories

Instituto Bernabeu is today celebrating World DNA Day with a visit of its facilities by 15 and 16-year-old students from Jaime II secondary school in Alicante. The clinic is opening its doors to the students so that they can get a close look at the work that takes place in a human genetics laboratory. The young people will be given a talk on the importance of DNA and will visit the molecular biology and genetics laboratories at Instituto Bernabeu. The celebration dates back to 25^th April 1953 when two scientists, the biologist James Watson and the physician Francis Crick, published their article entitled Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid in Nature magazine.
