Instructor Profile - Vinci Au

Jack of all trades, but master of none. Life's an adventure, so I dabble with everything life has to offer! Although I have a wide-range of interests, the life sciences has kept me enchanted with it's wonders and mysteries from a very young age.

I am approaching my fourth year at UBC in the General Life-Sciences program. Being open-minded and taking interest in new opportunities allowed me to grow as a person. In high-school I was an active member of Air Cadets and First Responders. I also participated in the Sanofi-Aventis Biotech Challenge as well as programs similar to Geneskool. Taking the same sense of curiosity into university allowed me to work intimately with the very impressive equipment at UBC such as the inverted confocal microscope equipped with a femto-second pulse laser. Now I get to work with Dr.Anderson and an enthusiastic team to educate others about science and ethics! 

Geneskool is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who would like to engage in a fun and exciting program to learn about forensics & medical genetics. This is definitely a course catered to keen students with a passion for science.
