This is a seminar based course given by our full time and joint faculties as well as some invited speakers. The aim of this course is to introduce to our new PhD students the most updated research achievements in our faculties’ lab and in the field in general. This will certainly be very beneficial to our new student to keep abreast to the most updated development of Biotechnology related research locally and internationally. Also, it would provide a platform for in-depth discussion between students and faculties, especially among the several fields inside Biotechnology. Students can use this opportunity to confirm the best research direction for their PhD study.
