Advances in Biotechnology during this summer
Workshops and Trainings: At Merck, we believe in training the next generation scientists and making them ready for academic and industrial world. Through year-round workshops and training we help newbies and experienced research professional in understanding the basics of science, learning specific skill sets and getting insights into the functioning of biotechnology industry. Below mentioned are some of our foundation programs to help student explore the world of research and beyond-
Workshop series on fundamental and advanced techniques When young college graduates are introduced to the world of science either in academia or industry, there are multiple aspects of scientific research that are new to them. A lot of their valuable time is spent in finding answers to key fundamentals questions like- how to define research problems, how to plan experiments and how to record, analyse and handle their data. In addition, a significant amount of their time is invested in standardizing basic molecular biology techniques.
The workshop series on fundamental and advanced techniques is targeted to address these concern points of young researchers. Through a series of lectures, discussions and case studies, a panel of industry and academia experts will help students in developing skills to overcome these challenges. This will be coupled with a detailed and intensive hands-on workshop on. basic methods in molecular biology. Students will also use new and advanced methods and tricks that would be very useful in improving their scientific effectiveness.
Target Audience: This course is designed for researchers in their early career (B.Tech/M.Tech/M.Sc/B.Sc./Ph.D/Faculty) who would like to get trained in basic scientific practices and molecular biology techniques useful for exploring career in biotech/life science industries or academia. No previous experience scientific experience or training in molecular biology is required or expected.
