Overview
We have designed a set of unique educational and training opportunities in effort to bring together talented and intellectual students in order to bridge the gap between classrooms and real world.
Key takeaways
The uniquely designed training offers exposure in the area of clinical genomics, sequencing and genetic counselling. This training is aimed at young professionals (with BSc / MSc / MRes / PhD / MBBS / MD degrees) in biotechnology or medicine who want to learn about clinical genomics in the era of high-throughput genomic technologies. The training is based on a combined teaching experience of 80 years.
This laboratory-based training will provide a comprehensive overview of the theory and practical laboratory skills required for cytogenetics, FISH, microarray, Sanger sequencing, NGS, bioinformatics and genetic counselling. Training program includes following topics:
Cell culture and karyotyping
FISH and microarray preparation and analysis
Sanger sequencing workflow
Introduction to NGS
Bioinformatics and statistics
Genetic counselling
Training program is designed to inculcate self-directed outcome-based learning through a pedagogic teaching approach. Furthermore, formal lectures and one-to-one discussions are employed to simulate a real-world working environment.
Training duration and timings
We offer 1 month training for a theoretical and practical overview of cytogenetics, molecular genetics and biochemical genetics. This is perfect for those who want to brush up or delve on the latest genetic technologies.
The training programs are run twice a year between January-February and May-June.
