Mark your calendars! The following are the tentative schedule of workshops and webinars to be offered by BRSL for the year 2024.

 Whether you are a student, researcher, teacher, or a laboratory professional in need of these trainings or if simply, you just want to upgrade your resume, these BRSL workshops are great for you! Stay tuned for further announcements. 

The BRSL researchers and support staff gathered last January 5, 2024 for workshop planning and evaluation of the workshops conducted last year. The meeting focused on revisiting the relevance of the lectures and hands-on activities in the current workshops offered by the BRSL in relation to the needs of its clients which commonly comprise of undergraduate students, graduate students, researchers, and private laboratory professionals. Various ways to further improve workshop delivery were also discussed. Towards the end of the meeting, the researchers outlined the tentative schedule of workshops to be offered this year. This includes workshops on basic and advanced molecular biology, laboratory animal science, and microalgae. Two webinars will also be conducted. 

Another successful laboratory animal workshop! The BRSL would like to congratulate and thank our participants for actively participating during the lectures and hands-on lab activities. We would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to our collaborators from the Bureau of Animal Industry and UPD IACUC; and to our resource speakers - Dr. Marie Shiella Ordinario, Dr. Elena Catap, Dr. Josefa Pante, and Dr. Amelita Estacio for imparting their knowledge and expertise and for making this workshop possible. The workshop was held last November 10, 2023 in Miranda Hall, NSRI UP Diliman. #LabAnimalWorkshop2023
