FACULTY & TRAINERS

"It’s been a wonderful experience of gaining hands-on exposure to essential lab techniques, revisiting core biological concepts, and enhancing soft skills that are crucial in both academia and industry."

Gowri Krishna (1st Batch)

"This course did not just equip me with vital skills and knowledge but it also bridged the gap between classroom style learning and academics. Most importantly, however, this programme gave me the opportunity to better understand myself and the world around me, it helped me transform biology from a subject to a technology."
