Baylab: The
student laboratory
at BayKomm

Researcher for a day

One day at Baylab and suddenly you’ll understand how exciting science can be. Why is Vitamin C so important? What is nanotechnology? How does human genetic diagnostics work? And how do I become a scientist?

The Bayer Student Laboratory at BayKomm, or "Baylab" for short, provides answers to these and many other questions. Three age-specific projects – from elementary to secondary level II – allow the young visitors to become researchers for a day. Baylab provides a practical component that complements the curriculum of the schools.

Baylab is for students and teachers – it teaches science using exciting experiments and demonstrates just how fascinating science can be, true to Bayer's motto "Science For A Better Life." And who knows? Maybe this will be the start of a promising research career.
