The orange pod above Queen Mary's science laboratory

A groundbreaking new science education centre will open at Queen Mary, University of London in September.

Centre of the Cell is the first science education centre in the world to be sited within working biomedical research laboratories.

Over 30,000 people are expected to visit the futuristic orange cell-shaped ‘Pod’ suspended within the award-winning Blizard Building in Whitechapel. Students will be able to watch scientists at work while inside the Pod.

The Centre will also provide students with the opportunity to use a combination of digital interactives, films and high powered microscopes. Students can even grow their own virtual stem cells for research.
