Molecular biology and Enzymology continue to make major strides and are rapidly advancing due to their major role in biomedical and pharmacological applications. Some information can be obtained at home even by being without any expensive resources, whereas many skills have to be learnt at the bench. Molecular biology is a subject, in which there is an inherent lag in teaching and learning of the concepts due to lack of exposure and opportunity to learn by hands-on experience. Faculty need to update and reorient themselves to meet the rapidly changing professional and scientific needs of the stakeholders. This workshop focuses on teaching several basic concepts, including recombinant DNA, plasmids, restriction enzymes, primer design, enzyme assay methods, inhibition kinetics for enzymes as drug targets and provides hands on training in the techniques practiced in molecular biology and enzymology. Both theoretical knowledge and hands-on training of skills by experts in the field will provide an in-depth understanding of basic methods in molecular biology and enzymology.
Objectives of the Workshop:
Objectives of the Workshop:

The Department of Biotechnology was established in the year 2006 with B.Tech program in Biotechnology. It also offers doctoral program in Biotechnology. The Department has highly motivated, experienced and young faculty members carrying out research in key areas of biotechnology. At present 24 PhD scholars are carrying out their research work under the guidance of faculty in the department. The department has sophisticated instruments such as RT-PCR, HPLC, GC etc.. The department has already executed research projects and at present it has 10 research projects funded by DBT/DST/ICMR/CSIR, Govt. of India.
The Teaching-Learning Centre (TLC) is established at NIT Warangal with grants from the MHRD, GOI under the scheme, ‘Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching’ (PMMMNMTT). Many senior and young faculty members across various departments of the Institute are associated with this center as members of the Core-Team. One of the important objectives of the center is to conduct training programs for Aspiring, Newly Inducted and In-Service faculty in Science and Engineering disciplines. Other activities of the TLC include preparation of e-learning materials, offering courses on-line, curriculum development, carrying out research in pedagogy and integrating ICT into teaching-learning process.

National Institute of Technology Warangal, formerly known as Regional Engineering College was established in1959. Over the years it has developed into a premier institute of higher learning and is ranked among the top technical education institutions in India. There are 14 Departments offering eight undergraduate and 31 post-graduate programmes besides doctoral programmes. About 5000 students across the country and about 500 international students study on the campus. It is a fully residential campus sprawling over 250 acres with excellent infrastructure in the form of state of the art library, seminar halls, guest houses and research laboratories.
Warangal is the second largest city of the new state of Telangana. It is renowned for its rich historical and cultural heritage. It was the seat of erstwhile Kakatiya dynasty. It is a seat of tourist attractions with a number of historical monuments like Thousand Pillars Temple, Warangal Fort, Bhadrakali Temple, Ramappa Temple and Laknavaram Lake located in a radius of 30 kms.
