SHORT TERM TRAINING COURSE ON ADVANCED TECHNIQUES IN MOLECULAR MICROBIOLOGY AND MICROBIAL TECHNOLOGY
About The Training Course
As microbial biotechnology is widely taught at the undergraduate level in India, the faculty who teach this course at the college level have to be exposed to hands-on experience in advanced techniques such as rDNA and bioprocess technology. This training course is intended to impart hands-on training to undergraduate educators in the field of microbial technology. Participants will have an opportunity to learn advanced molecular biology, fermentation and downstream processing techniques. This course will provide instructions in scientific concepts through a blend of both theoretical and hands-on training activities. More than 70% of the time will be devoted to practical sessions.
