🧬✨The Amgen Biotech Experience had an incredible time at the Chaffey Joint Union High School District Professional Development Institute hosted at Colony High School!

Over two days, educators explored the Abridged Genetic Engineering Sequence through hands-on biotech labs.

We had an incredible time representing ABE at the LA Maker Faire x City of STEM. Being surrounded by innovators, creators, and curious minds reminded us why we’re so passionate about STEM education. From hands-on activities to inspiring conversations, it was amazing to connect with the community and share what we do.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, asked questions, and supported our mission, we loved meeting you! 💙

From high school chemistry student to UCLA organic synthesis researcher 🔬✨

Amaar’s journey into STEM began with curiosity in 11th grade and grew through mentorship, community, and opportunity. After starting in the biotech program at Pierce College and volunteering at Saturday Workday, he found his passion not only in organic chemistry—but in mentoring the next generation.

Now a Biochemistry major at UCLA conducting research in Professor Neil Garg’s lab, Aamar is helping develop new methods in organic synthesis while inspiring students to pursue their own paths in STEM.

His advice?
“Don’t rush and don’t compare yourself to others. It only limits what you’re capable of.”

Proof that when passion meets mentorship, possibility becomes reality. You can read more of Amaar's story on our "News" Page on the ABE-LA website 💡🧪

Welcome to our ABE Teacher of the Month Spotlight, where we recognize outstanding educators from across the greater Los Angeles area who demonstrate a strong and consistent commitment to STEM education.
Today, we are pleased to feature an educator who has inspired several thousand students in the fields of Chemistry and Biotechnology. His career reflects a rare combination of industry expertise and classroom dedication. Before entering education, he worked for many years at Amgen, where he managed a clinical biomarkers genomics group as a practicing scientist. He later transitioned into teaching at Foothill High School, bringing real-world scientific experience directly into his classroom.
As a CTE educator, he plays an important role in preparing students not only for academic success, but also for future careers in STEM fields. His contributions have been recognized by his school community, including coverage in The Foothill Dragon Press.
It is our privilege to acknowledge his meaningful contributions to science education and to celebrate the positive impact he continues to have on his students. You can watch Mr. Baker's video on our Youtube or on our Website's News.

✨ From Mentor to Research Innovator: Meet Esmeralda “Esme” ✨

From guiding students in the lab to advancing HIV prevention research, Esme is a true example of where curiosity, dedication, and mentorship can lead. 🧬🔬 As a Saturday Workday mentor, she empowers students with hands-on biotech skills—and beyond ABE, she continues to make an impact as a Research Associate at Oak Crest Institute of Science.

“There’s always something new to do, and it’s always a good challenge, which naturally makes it fun!” — Esme 💙

We’re proud to celebrate mentors like Esme, who inspire the next generation of scientists through leadership, passion, and service.

✨ Did you know? ABE-LA’s curriculum aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)! 🧬🔬

From learning how to use lab tools to producing and purifying proteins, our students gain hands-on experience that connects classroom science to real-world biotechnology. Each lab builds critical thinking, scientific practices, and a deeper understanding of how DNA becomes traits.

We’re proud to support educators and students with standards-aligned, inquiry-based learning that prepares the next generation of scientists and innovators. 💙
