About this Event
Laboratory Skills & Biotechnology Skills Bootcamp
This fully funded course provides learners with the opportunity to learn or improve their practical skills and the knowledge and understanding of contemporary practices in the field of biotechnology. Bootcamp participants will complete a significant number of practical experiments, specifically chosen due to their importance within the field of biotechnology. These practical experiments will allow learners to understand the scientific principles underlying Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), gel electrophoresis, Microbiology, Enzyme linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and Western blotting.
This bootcamp runs from 8.30am-4.30pm for 10 days with an hour break for Lunch. Students are expected to complete 60 Guided Learning hours over the course of the 10 days before they can receive their certificate of completion. Throughout the bootcamp, learners are assessed and get personalised feedback from the lecturers to help participants improve on their current practices.
This course is particularly suitable for:
- Biology science graduates and undergraduate students who have just finished their course and are about to start their first role in industry.
- Newly hired industry scientists (particularly Early Career researchers who had a disrupted training year during the pandemic).
- Non-biology science graduates who want to gain lab experience outside their own subject area.
- Academic and industry technicians who support practical science & research.
- Experienced biologists who want a practical skills refresher.
Learners will gain competence and confidence in an array of specially selected practical techniques which are commonplace across multiple disciplines of contemporary biology.
Learners applying for jobs who take on board all the information during the AIG session will be in a better position to shortlisted for more interviews and get job offers because they are now equipped to be excellent at their interviews.
