Skill Development Program on “Laboratory Animals in Biomedical Research” (LABR)
(CSIR-Integrated Skill initiative)
As part of CSIR-Integrated Skill initiative, a three weeks certificate course titled
‘Laboratory Animals in Biomedical Research’ (Course Code: IICT-LABR-2019-20) is
being offered, under the SKILL DEVELOPMENT program. Online applications are invited
from eligible candidates, who have completed their graduation/post-graduation and have a
strong desire to pursue career in animal research in Industrial CROs, Pharma and Biotech
companies.
About the Course: It is observed that graduate/post-graduate students require skills of
laboratory animals handling for biomedical research. Moreover, most of the Pharma and
Biotech companies conduct preclinical studies on lab animals and expect to have knowledge
on basic handling. This will have direct impact on their career opportunities and their
employability, especially in industrial CROs, Pharma and Biotech companies etc. This skill
program will enhance the required capabilities to bridge gap between academia and industry.
The course is practical intensive with over 140 + hours of hands on Training and class room
