DURHAM, N.C. — High school students in North Carolina got a new lab in which to explore science with the opening of the CSC@MLS Immersion Lab at Durham's Museum of Life and Science.
The museum partnered with Contemporary Science Center to build the 1,200-square-foot lab to look and feel like an authentic 'Research Triangle' research facility.

The project was funded in part by BiogenIdec. Additional funding from Novozymes, Teleflex Medical, NC Biotechnology Center and Diosynth Biotechnology, a division of Schering-Plough Corporation and in-kind support from McDonald York also made the laboratory possible. The Burroughs Wellcome Fund provided financial support to increase access for students from across the state.
