Dear Colleagues

Hello

This summer we conducted a summer course in biotechnology. The course topics were based on primary tissue culture ,molecular genetics and embryo biotechnology. The course was attended by students from various parts of country and was quite successful. At the end of the course certificates were issued.

The feed back of the students was very encouraging and they advised us to start dissertation program in biotechnology as they can not find good institutes for this purpose.

As we are in clinical practice this advice to start full dissertation program was fantastic. We felt that the students of biotechnology were slightly confused and do not know the basics and applied genetics well. As we are in applied field , we thought that we should impart some practical skills to these students so that they can have more confidence in them and can earn their livelihood in a better way.

As an institution head ,if you read this newsletter ,I request to send your students .We assure you to help them in a great way.

With regards

Dr.D’Pankar Banerji
