for Short Term Training Course on Laboratory Diagnosis of COVID-19
COVID-19 is an infectious
disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that leads to severe respiratory
illness. The pandemic has resulted in an increasing number of cases, including
in India. While the demand for testing is very high, there is a severe shortage
of trained persons to carry out these specialized tests.
To help build capacity for the
national fight against COVID-19, the CoVid
Diagnostic Training Centre is being established at the Jawaharlal Nehru
Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), an autonomous institute of
the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India
(www.jncasr.ac.in). The Centre is offering comprehensive training in molecular
clinical diagnostics effective immediately.

make trainees adept at performing immune and molecular diagnostic assays in a
clinical set up.
