Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory | DNA Learning Center x NY City Tech
In 1988, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory established the DNA Learning Center (DNALC) as the world’s first science center devoted entirely to public genetics education.
In 2021 construction of a new space for middle school students through adults at City Tech will be complete–including six teaching labs with state-of-the-art equipment, two bioinformatics labs, a lunch room and a planned exhibition.
