Four Week Training Workshop ‘Modern Biology: Advanced Molecular Tools for Healthcare: A comprehensive Training Module’ starts at SRHU
The School of Biosciences at Swami Rama Himalayan University (SRHU) inaugurated the second phase of its four-week training workshop, “Modern Biology: Advanced Molecular Tools for Healthcare,” on 7 July 2025. With 30 participants from 14 universities across India, this workshop underscores the growing national interest in advanced molecular techniques and their application in contemporary healthcare and research.
The session commenced with a traditional lamp-lighting ceremony, symbolizing enlightenment in scientific pursuit. The program was presided over by the esteemed Chief Guest, Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor Dr Rajendra Dobhal, FNASc, and Guests of Honor: Dr Ashok Deorari (Pro Vice-Chancellor), Dr Chandra Shekhar Nautiyal, FNASc, and Dr Vijendra Devi Chauhan. Following the welcome ceremony, attendees viewed a short film that showcased the success of the Phase one of the same workshop conducted in Feb–March 2025. The film highlighted how such initiatives have empowered researchers and enriched hands-on scientific training at SRHU.
The key objectives of the inaugural session were to Introduce participants to the workshop’s module, emphasize the relevance of these advanced molecular tools to participants’ academic and professional goals and inspire a research-oriented mindset by placing state-of-the-art methodologies within a clinical context.
Chief Guest Dr Rajendra Dobhal delivered the inaugural address, stressing the indispensable role of advanced molecular biology in advancing modern medicine. He specifically highlighted the role of molecular diagnostics and genome editing tools in personalized medicine, noting that AI-integrated systems could enable rapid disease pre-screening, accurate diagnosis, and enhanced prognostication.
