WELCOME
The Advanced Molecular Biology Laboratory (AMBL) is a fully equipped research unit that specializes in educational programs and is in the fortunate position of being resourced to provide a superb learning environment complete with state of the art equipment. AMBL’s physical facility, together with the vision and energy of our diverse faculty, have created a unique and highly regarded training program.
As well, AMBL has made a name for itself by often using creative and unconventional avenues of science communication, particularly where the intersection of science and other disciplines is explored. In all many of AMBL's programs centre on the mandate to train scientists (university students and faculty) and to inform the public at large on the societal, cultural, economic, political, and ethical nuances of the sciences.
