RegisterDescription
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.
Location
Ecogenomics and Bioinformatics Lab, ground floor RN Robertson Building, ANU
Upcoming events in this series
Ivan Koludarov visiting from the Technical University of Munich's Department of Scientific Computing will present a workshop on genome annotation methods and their application to difficult to annotate multicopy gene families.
This 3-day workshop presented by Fred Allendorf and other guest speakers will provide a comprehensive overview of the essential background, concepts, and tools required to understand how genetics and genomics can be used for conservation and management.
