About This Event
BioGrad is a UK-based life sciences company operating across diagnostics, biobanking, clinical research, and regenerative medicine, including work in stem cell and advanced therapies.
Delivered by BioGrad Education, a training provider that has supported 1,000+ learners in the last 2 years, this course reflects the techniques and standards used across modern genetics and molecular biology laboratories.
Training takes place in BioGrad’s modern, industry-standard laboratory facilities, giving you exposure to the equipment and environment used in real-world lab settings, something that sets this experience apart from typical classroom-based courses.
Participants will gain hands-on experience using real laboratory equipment and explore applications of genetics across biomedical science, microbiology, conservation biology, and more.
Participants are encouraged to design their own experiments and learn through practical application, helping to develop independent research skills and confidence in the laboratory.
Unlike theory-heavy courses, this session is fully hands-on, allowing you to apply qPCR and genetic analysis techniques under expert guidance.
