The Dolan DNA Learning Center - an operating arm of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory - prepares students and families to thrive in the gene age by providing fifth through 12th graders with hands-on laboratory experiences and offering them educational opportunities that are unavailable in their own schools. Each year, more than 30,000 students and teachers from Long Island, all five boroughs of New York City, and around the country benefit from the labs, lectures, field trips and workshops provided by the Center's teaching staff.
