Genetic & Microbial Monitoring of Animals.

The CSIR-Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) is excited to announce a hands-on training program on “Genetic & Microbial Monitoring of Animals” from 26th to 31st August 2024. This program is designed for faculty members, researchers from universities, institutes, industries, and individuals interested in the fields of Life Sciences, Medical Sciences, Pharmaceutical Science, and allied areas.

About the Training

The training aims to equip participants with the skills to monitor and maintain lab animals used for various experiments. The curriculum includes lectures and hands-on sessions on tissue collection, DNA isolation, genotyping, biochemical analyzers, microbial contamination detection, and prevention methods.

Key Details

  • Seats: Limited to 10-15 participants

  • Minimum Qualification: Masters in any branch of Life Science/Allied areas

  • Course Fee: Rs.18,000/- (Including accommodation & GST)

  • Mode of the Course: In-house training at CCMB

  • Mode of Selection: Application form & Statement of Purpose

Training Curriculum

The curriculum includes lectures and hands-on sessions on:

  • Quality control, both genetic & microbial, to maintain genetically homozygous & germ-free animals

  • Immuno-genetic, biochemical, and PCR-based testing methods

  • Disease screening of lab animals, sample collection & processing techniques for molecular & microbiological monitoring

  • Things to sort out during standardization

Hands-On and Demonstrations

Participants will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities and demonstrations, including genomic DNA isolation from tail samples, genotyping of tail samples by Standard and quantitative PCRs, preparation and observation of agar plates for microbial cultures from different platforms, and more.

Salient Features of the Training

  • Expert instructors will provide lectures and hands-on training

  • A certificate of participation will be issued to the participants

  • Exposure to laboratory safety regulations

  • One-to-one interaction with the trainers

  • Evaluation assignments and Trouble-shooting sessions
