International Center for Stem Cells, Cancer and Biotechnology - Pune
5 days Hands-on Workshop on Molecular Biotechnology and Bioinformatics
Description:- ICSCCB have planned
a series of five days basic workshops with practical hands-on training
on the topics from molecular biology and bioinformatics.
The biology and bioinformatics contents are
interwoven in such a manner that it would help a molecular biologist to
find solutions to real time problems in lab and a bioinformatician to
understand the laboratory aspects of bioinformatics.
Workshop Topics:
All topics below will be covered in each workshop by practical hands-on training:
