SGPGI Workshop on Molecular Techniques in Clinical Microbiology

Molecular Techniques in Clinical Microbiology
7 - 8 MARCH 2009

ORGANIZED BY
Department of Microbiology
Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Science
Raebareli Road, Lucknow.226014.

Introduction

Molecular techniques have various applications in the Clinical Microbiology including areas of patient care and research. These techniques are rapid, highly sensitive and specific. In many cases where traditional phenotypic methods of microbial identification and typing are insufficient or time consuming, molecular techniques can provide rapid and accurate diagnosis. A large number of microbiologists are
resorting to these diagnostic methods without proper knowledge and training. Initiating these techniques in laboratory requires the understanding and standardization of the techniques as well as proper training.

The CME cum workshop on “Molecular Techniques in Clinical Microbiology” has been planned with the aim to disseminate the existing knowledge and to provide hands-on training to Microbiologists and Research students in various molecular techniques being pursued in the field of infectious diseases.

Broadly the following areas will be covered.

Extraction of genomic DNA and RNA from various specimens (blood, sputum, pus, serum, tissue
etc.) infected with bacterial, viral, parasitic and fungal agents.
PCR and RT-PCR
Agarose Gel electrophoresis
Real Time PCR
SSCP analysis
Southern and Western blotting.
Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP).

Registration fee: Rs. 1000/-
Accommodation: Rs. 250/- per day per participant (on sharing basis)
Last date of Registration: Jan 31st, 2009.

Interested candidates are requested to send the registration forms duly filled with bank draft of Rs. 1000/- (registration fee Rs. 1000/- plus accommodation charges) in favor of “Update in Clinical Microbiology” payable at Lucknow. The number of participants will be limited on first come basis.

Further details will be communicated to all selected participants in due course.
