At Don Whitley Scientific (DWS), we are passionate about nurturing the next generation of microbiologists and laboratory professionals. Science never stands still, and neither does our commitment to education, training, and industry collaboration.
Bridging the Gap Between Education and Industry
We recognise the importance of bridging the gap between academic study and practical, real-world applications. That’s why we actively collaborate with universities, offering students and researchers opportunities to engage with the latest microbiology techniques and technologies. Our partnerships with academic institutions provide access to specialist equipment, expert knowledge, and hands-on training that help prepare students for their future careers.
Invaluable Industry Experience
One example of our commitment to education is our collaboration with Dr. Clare Wright from York St John University. By inviting Dr. Wright to our laboratory, we provided an opportunity for knowledge exchange and professional development. This collaboration not only benefited her teaching but also strengthened the industry link between York St John University and DWS.
Similarly, we frequently attend university poster presentations, offer sponsorship of prizes, and attend university trade shows to showcase how our equipment and expertise can support academic research. Our team of specialists is always on hand to provide guidance on best practices, ensuring that students and researchers alike gain valuable industry insights.
Investing in Future Talent
We believe that investing in young scientists today will lead to scientific breakthroughs tomorrow. By working closely with universities, research institutions, and early-career scientists, we help shape the future of microbiology.
Education and innovation go hand in hand, and at DWS, we are proud to play a role in inspiring and equipping the scientists of the future.
