Our Programme
Our Research Focus
Participants will engage in diverse research topics, including diabetes, cancer, neuroscience, and other critical health domains, contributing to scientific advancements through various methodologies. Each project is structured to provide comprehensive training and the opportunity for publication in high-impact journals upon completion. The primary objective of this initiative is to provide comprehensive training to students, equipping them with essential research skills from basic to advanced levels while ensuring that each project culminates in publication in a reputed, high-impact journal.
