We are opening up our Biological Support Unit (BSU) to the public to explore from the comfort of their homes! This newly developed 360o tour allows you to step into our building and explore how our research involving the use of mice is carried out.
• Learn about the regulations and protections in place to ensure animal welfare is at the heart of our work. • Discover how people and equipment get in and out this state-of-the-art facility without introducing germs to our animals. • Explore how this important work supports the Babraham Institute’s work to better understand human ageing and lay the groundwork for future treatments to promote better health span for all.
You can access this on-demand virtual tour from a PC, laptop, phone, tablet, or even through a VR headset. Just follow the link to our site to start your journey through our Institute. We also have a number of suggested guided routes on the website to help you focus your exploration!
The tour and all resources will open and run throughout the festival from the 19th March through to 4th April.

This tour is appropriate for ages 14+ and is also perfect for school groups looking to explore different areas and careers in bioscience.
