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 3-day basic introduction course to molecular lab fundamentals for new honours and PhD students (and others) from ANU, CSIRO and the University of Canberra 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 4 May 2026. The workshop is free (but $100 will be charged for no-show without reasonable notice/explanation).

*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.
The nearby Little Pickle cafe is available to purchase drinks and meals. There is a kitchenette with fridge and microwave next to the EBL if you would like to bring your own.
