Dissertation & Training
Skill-enhancement training to international standards, aligned with NABL and CAP accreditation.
Hands-on training in clinical cytogenetics
CYTOGeNeOM offers skill-enhancement training for students and laboratory staff, along with research and development opportunities. Modules combine theory with hands-on work in karyotyping, FISH, chromosome microarray, and PCR/NGS for NIPT.
- M.Sc. / B.Sc. students in life sciences and biotechnology: dissertation and degree training.
- MBBS graduates and MD doctors (Pathology, Biochemistry, Microbiology) seeking skills in leukaemia/cancer reporting and clinical genetics.
- Laboratory professionals upgrading to NABL/CAP-aligned practice.
Proficiency test & certification
After each module, trainees give a presentation and take a quiz. Candidates who pass receive a certificate for completing the training or dissertation.
