Training Programme in Engineering Mammalian Cells
with CRISPR Tools
CCMB proposes a training course in genome engineering of mammalian cells using gene-editing technology-CRISPRs to generate human resources that are employment-ready for the requirements of industries and academia. The program targets students and employees from government labs/ Institutes, Industries, Hospitals, Pathology Laboratories, Universities with a view to train them to be able to design and construct CRISPR constructs and generate knock-out and knock-in mammalian cell lines.
Duration : 2 weeks
No. of seats : 8-10 No.s
Education Qualifications : B.Tech., M.Sc, B.V.Sc., MBBS (minimum)
Age group : 21-45 years (relaxation for SC/ST/OBC as per GOI rules
Date of Commencement : 5th Feb 2018
Venue of the Course : iHub; Annexe-II, CSIR-CCMB
Course Fee : Rs. 25,000/- (self/sponsored)
Residential/non-residential : Residential (accommodation provided)
Sponsorship : Established public/private sectors are welcomed to sponsor candidates of their interest.
Training Curriculum for Basic Course:
• Concepts
of genome editing and engineering.• Design of sgRNA, donor oligos and donor-targeting vectors.
• Cloning of sgRNAs, preparations of CRISPR constructs for transfections.
• Cell culture, transfections and selection of CRISPR transfected cells.
• Genotyping to identify indel knockout cells.
• Co-transfection of CRISPR and donor construct for generating knock–in.
• Genotyping and confirmation of CRISPR based knock-in cells.
Application Deadline – 5th Dec 2017
Training Programme in
Microbial Diversity and Polyphasic Characterization of
Microbes
CCMB proposes a training program focusing on various methods used in exploration of
biodiversity (primarily microbial) and characterization of a bacterial species/strain. The
management of biodiversity is essential not only to the ecosystem but also for mankind,
especially under the present conditions of mass species extinction. In addition to research
interest/potential strain characterization is essential for industries as well which rely on
maintaining the axenic microbial culture and establishing their authenticity from time to time. Thus this training course, in addition to academicians, would be useful for
entrepreneurs/industries in optimal characterization/utilization of microbial species.
Duration : 4 weeks
No. of seats : 20 to 25 No.s
Education Qualifications : B.Sc., B.Tech.,B.V.Sc., MBBS (minimum),
Age group : 21-50 years (relaxation for SC/ST/OBC as per GOI rules
Date of Commencement : 8th January 2018
Venue of the Course : iHub; Annexe-II, CSIR-CCMB
Course Fee : Rs. 25,000/- (self/sponsored)
Residential/non-residential : Residential (accommodation provided)
Sponsorship : Established public/private sectors are welcomed to sponsor candidates of
their interest.
Training Curriculum for the course:
I. Exploration of Non-cultivable biodiversity
- DNA isolation from Soil or water
- 16S rDNA amplification from community DNA
- Cloning of 16S rDNA, electroporation and sequencing, phylogenetic analyses (MGRAST,
PHYLIP, MEGA, Mothur) - DGGE
- tRFLP
II. Polyphasic characterization of Microbes
• Morphological studies (Colony and cell morphology)
• Biochemical characterization (involves screening of several enzymes, proteins gels)
• Chemotaxonomic studies (include characterization of fatty acid methyl ester [FAME],
lipids,Menaquinones, peptidoglycan, pigments etc)
• Genotypic characterization (fingerprinting of bacteria [ERIC-, BOX-, REP-PCRs,
RAPD, tRFLP, 16S rDNA sequencing)
• Phylogenetic characterization of bacteria (PHYLIP, MEGA)
Application Deadline – 30th Nov 2017
