Fellowship Programs

Genetic program adopt a Major angled to study they are; focused, academic, research and Diagnostics to maximize each student’s learning experiences.

Overview

Genetics indeed as fresh as blossomed jasmine in Science, Genetics is the branch of science deals with the study of hereditary which influence to the offspring. Gergor Mendel (1856 and 1863) is the Father of Genetics; by Explaining his law of inheritance give the entry concept of genetics. J- H Tjio and A Levan discovered correct number of human chromosomes that is 46. Victor Almon McKusick (October 21, 1921 – July 22, 2008) Father of medical genetics. Form many more Scientist experiment Genetics become a bundle of knowledge. The focused, academic, research and diagnostic activities housed within our department provides outstanding opportunities for students who wish to pursue a career in research, education, and service in this field.
In addition to large group teaching sessions, the program is also delivered through small group teaching sessions (problem-based learning, laboratory practical, workshops, tutorials, seminars, and presentations). Such sessions will provide opportunities for the development of a range of skills necessary for a career in genetics. The projects in fellowship course provide an opportunity for students to conduct studies in the field of genetics and it is hoped that students will acquire critical thinking and analytical skills necessary for careers in research, academics and industry.

Highlights

  1. Focused academic, research and diagnostic activities
  2. Innovative teaching and assessment
  3. Opportunities to explore independent research under research institute
  4. Genetic diagnostic laboratory offers opportunities to evidence based
  5. Excellent support and placement

How does the program will conduct?

The Curriculum works on the internationally acknowledged choice-based credit system (CBCS). CBCS not only offers opportunities and avenues to learn core subjects but also exploring additional avenues of learning beyond the core subjects for holistic development of an individual.

Assessment

Students will be assessed (formative and summative) through their class tests, practical reports, workshops, projects, logbooks, written reports, presentations, dissertations with an end-of-academic examination.

Career

As the details of the human genome unfolded, the variety of opportunities for people with degrees and training in human genetics is continuing to expand. There are opportunities in basic and clinical research, in medical professions, and in interdisciplinary fields, such as patent law. The genetics workforce is not sufficient even now, and demand continues to increase. For example, as genetic testing becomes more commonplace, and a part of many routine medical evaluations, more laboratory geneticists will be needed to perform the tests, and counselors will be needed to interpret and explain the results to individuals and families. Genetic counseling is a career attracting graduates with an interest in medical genetics and face- to-face patient interaction. As genetics is recognized to be a basic part of all biological sciences, more and more teachers with expertise in genetics will also be needed. These are just a few examples of the growing demand for professions trained in genetics.

Career Path

A human genetics certificate can lead to a career in health, scientific research or industry and also provides a range of skills that can be used in many other sectors
