Dr. Kumardeep Chaudhary, Senior Scientist at IGIB, introduced the students to big data analytics in biological sciences. The idea competition saw students coming up solutions for diabetics, dialysis and early prediction of diseases by data analysis. Ekta Tomar, Aayushi Sharma, Nidhi Sharma, and Mritunjai Kaushik won the prize books, which were mailed to their college via Amazon.

This interactive session was followed by the tour of the institute, wherein the students visited the zebrafish facility, TEM, and the central instrumentation facility of IGIB. 

This hands-on session was organized in collaboration with Prayogshala on 14th December 2021. We talked about DNA and genes in the green lawns of Lodi Gardens with young minds. It was an experience that transposed us all to the 15th century, when nothing was known about DNA. The questions that intrigued these enthusiastic kids are the same that fueled research in the past and brought us to a place today where we could perform isolation of DNA and talk about how it transmits traits from parents to offspring. 

Teachers’ training workshop for class XI-XII Biology/Biotechnology teachers was organized from 4th – 7th March 2020 (4 days) at CSIR IGIB, Mathura Road campus. The aim of this workshop was to impart hands-on training in various molecular biology and biotechnology techniques that are part of Biology / Biotechnology curriculum of class XI-XII.
