Introduction to molecular lab fundamentals 2024
Are you (or your student) new to molecular lab work? Could you (or they) benefit from an introduction to operating in a genetics lab?
The ANU EcoGenomics Lab (EBL) is offering a (free) 3-day basic introduction course to molecular lab fundamentals for new honours and PhD students (and others) who don’t have a strong genetics/molecular undergrad or background*.
If you are interested in attending the workshop, please fill in the Expression of Interest form by 5 April 2024.

*Please note: This introductory course is NOT designed for those students who are doing a predominantly molecular project and have had molecular/genetics lab training at undergrad level, but rather students who have a more ecological/morphological background and are either new to genetics or who have a small genetic component to their project.
We welcome requests for more advanced bespoke experimental and/or training requirements throughout the year. Please contact Niccy Aitken for more information.
