Learn about plant microbiology and immunology. How plants respond to various signals. How plants become resistant to antibodies. Histology continues to fascinate. From cell culture practicals to human biology and everything in between. You get it all, here.
THE PROGRAM IN A NUTSHELL
Your classes and workshops take place Monday through Friday. And you learn in the classroom. the laboratory. And at workshops and seminars.
You start with the basics: research planning and reporting. Then move on to studying plants and microbiology. Histology and cell culture practicals. Finally, you tie together what you learn with immunology and human biology. Microbiology and plant biology.
Your final assignment is to plan and conduct a research project. You write a full report about it. And present your findings in a professional presentation.
