Welcome to the website for the "Molecular Biology Workshops" initiative of IISER Pune. These are paid workshops that happen at two levels: basic (primarily for school and college students) and advanced (primarily for TY BSc, MSc and PhD students ). The primary aim of these workshops is to train students in basic and advanced techniques of Molecular Biology. This training will also be useful for those working in inter-disciplinary areas (e.g. chemical biology), where some molecular biology techniques are often used.

Backstory
Backstory
We began our workshops in August 2019. However, after only 7 months, the world came to a standstill due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although, we managed to organize a few workshops during the pandemic, things were tough both for the instructors and the participants. We reopened the workshops full fledged in 2022-2023. The number of students have steadily increased since then. Each year, we introduce a few new workshops along with the older ones.
More details about workshops conducted between 2019-2024 can be found here and here.
We thank Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) for providing excellent background video resources as per the workshop content to all the participants.
Sponsors
Sponsors
Molecular biology workshops require expertise, costly chemicals and expensive machines. The expenditures incurred on these workshops are partly offset by generous CSR grants from Praj Industries Ltd and K.K. Nag Pvt Ltd. The rest of the cost is recovered as registration fees from the participants.
In the past, we have been supported by Eppendorf India Pvt Ltd, Himedia Pvt Ltd and Bartleby Technologies Pvt Ltd.
