New biology dimensions unfold AAUR

RAWALPINDI: A four-day training workshop on ‘Real Time - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT - PCR)’ commenced at Pir Mehr Ali Shah-Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi (PMAS-AAUR) on Tuesday.

The workshop was organized by the Department of Bio-Chemistry in collaboration with Higher Education Commission (HEC) to fortify the knowledge of existing teaching manpower and to impart them practical training on the subject. The workshop will focus on creating intra- and inter-university communication channels.

Although some research and diagnostic labs are using RT - PCR in Pakistan, there is a shortage of trained/skilled manpower in this area. This workshop will help train researchers and faculty members of universities and R&D institutions from Pakistan in the use of Real Time - PCR in their research work, said a speaker.

Prof Dr Masoom Yasinzai, Quaid-i-Azam University Vice Chancellor was the chief guest at the inaugural session of the workshop.Daily times
