Heredity Biosciences, Bhubaneswar
The demand for well-trained professionals in life sciences is skyrocketing as biotechnology, biomedical research, and pharmaceutical industries expand. Modern laboratories need skilled researchers who can handle delicate mammalian cells, design experiments, and maintain sterile conditions with confidence.
To meet this need, Heredity Biosciences, in association with Herrick Healthcare, Bhubaneswar, proudly offers customized and flexible hands-on training programs on Cell Culture and Analysis Techniques.
This intensive program is designed to provide participants with the skills and confidence required to work with human and animal cell lines in academic, industrial, and clinical settings. Whether you are an MSc student eager to strengthen practical knowledge, a PhD scholar looking to refine advanced techniques, or a professional seeking to upgrade skills for biotech and biopharmaceutical careers, this training provides a clear path to success.
Program Overview
The Cell Culture & Analysis Techniques training introduces participants to the essential theory and practical skills of mammalian cell culture. Through a balanced combination of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on sessions, trainees learn how to set up and maintain a cell culture laboratory, understand the fundamentals of aseptic technique, and work safely in biosafety cabinets.
The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, from basic cell culture concepts to advanced molecular and proteomic applications, ensuring that every participant gains a complete understanding of cell-based research. The program is available in 1-week, 2-week, or 3–4 week formats, allowing students and professionals to select a schedule that fits their needs and career goals.
Who Should Attend
This program is ideal for:
- MSc students and PhD scholars seeking real-world laboratory experience.
- Employees from government labs, hospitals, tissue banks, and universities who plan to establish or expand cell culture facilities.
- Entrepreneurs and start-up founders exploring opportunities in cell-based research, diagnostics, or production.
- Professionals targeting biotechnology, bioclinical, or biopharmaceutical industry positions where cell culture skills are essential.
Participants will benefit not only from skill acquisition but also from exposure to the professional environment and the latest technologies used in biomedical research.
Theoretical Modules
The program begins with a strong foundation in theory, covering:
- Introduction to basic cell culture, importance, and applications.
- Overview of laboratory equipment and pharmaceutical-grade cleanroom concepts.
- Laboratory Safety and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).
- Preparation of media, solutions, and sterilization methods.
- Critical aspects of sterility and contamination prevention.
- Do’s and don’ts of working in a cell culture laboratory.
These sessions ensure that every trainee understands the science behind the techniques and the reasoning behind each safety and quality measure.
Demonstration & Hands-On Training
Hands-on sessions transform theoretical knowledge into practical expertise. Trainees will perform or observe:
- Microscopy for cell morphology and confluence assessment.
- Resuspension of human, animal, and fish cells from liquid nitrogen storage (-196 °C).
- Preparation of sterile cell culture media and feeding of cells.
- Passaging (subculturing) of adherent and suspension cells.
- Cryopreservation and thawing techniques.
- Total viable cell counts using a hemocytometer and Trypan Blue exclusion.
- Growth curve calculations and MTT/Alamar Blue viability assays.
- Primary culture of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
- Maintenance of CO₂ incubators and other essential equipment.
- Comparison of cell growth in DMEM vs. RPMI-1640 media.
- Antibiotic dependence testing and contamination identification.
For participants enrolled in the 3–4 week advanced module, there is a unique opportunity to work inside Class II A2 Biosafety Cabinets, where they will individually establish primary cell cultures from healthy or diseased tissues. This extended practice provides the confidence to manage complex cell culture workflows independently.
Molecular Biology & Proteomics Add-Ons
To enhance the value of the training, the program integrates molecular and proteomic techniques relevant to cell culture research, including:
- DNA/RNA extraction and purification from cells or tissues.
- cDNA synthesis and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for gene amplification.
- Agarose gel electrophoresis for DNA analysis.
- Protein isolation, quantification using the Bradford assay, and SDS-PAGE for protein separation.
These modules bridge the gap between cell culture and downstream analytical methods, preparing participants for advanced research or industry projects.
Duration, Eligibility & Fees
Training durations are flexible—1 week, 2 weeks, or 3–4 weeks—to suit academic calendars and professional schedules. Each batch is limited to 5–7 participants to ensure personal attention. Any science graduate from academia or industry is eligible to apply. Course fees vary by duration and exclude accommodation and food; details are available on request.
Completion & Certification
Upon finishing the program, participants engage in group discussions, prepare short reports, and present their experimental findings. A certificate of successful completion is awarded, validating their new skills and adding a competitive edge to academic or job applications.
