3-days Hands-on Workshop on “NGS library preparation (WGS and RNA-seq)”

July 12-14, 2022

The Bio-IT Centre at IBAB is organizing a three-days Hands-on Workshop on “NGS library preparation (WGS and RNA-seq)” during July 12-14, 2022. This workshop will provide hands-on training in RNA and DNA isolation, qualitative and quantitative analysis, library preparation for RNA and whole genome sequencing, profiling of DNA and RNA libraries using tapestation and an introduction to NGS sequencing platforms.

Target Audience:

The course is aimed at students, researchers, and technicians who wish to employ NGS sequencing approaches in their work but may not have sufficient training in/awareness of library preparation, a critical step in data analysis. Ph.D. scholars/postdoctoral fellows/JRFs/faculty involved in pure experimental biological research are encouraged to apply. The course will also benefit those pursuing M.Sc./ M.Tech. in Biotechnology/Life Sciences/Microbiology/Biosciences who may be interested in transitioning to molecular biology/ bioinformatics-focused opportunities in academia or industry. Teachers from undergraduate and postgraduate teaching institutions and research institutes across Karnataka are highly encouraged to apply. Please note that minimal eligibility is pursuing a Bachelor’s degree.

Only twenty-five candidates will be selected for this workshop on a first-come basis.

Registration Fee (inclusive of GST): These fees are only for those working in India. If you are working abroad, please email careers_bioit@ibab.ac.in for payment details.
