Why Hands-On Training Is Essential for a Career in Life Sciences

Heredity Biosciences, Bhubaneswar

In today’s rapidly evolving biotechnology and healthcare industries, theoretical knowledge is no longer enough. Employers, research labs, and even higher education institutions expect students to have practical skills, lab handling experience, and a clear understanding of real-time experimental procedures. This is where hands-on training in life sciences becomes not just important—but essential.

At Heredity Biosciences, we’ve trained 1500+ students over the last three years, offering 1-month to 3-month intensive laboratory courses in Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Cell Culture, and Recombinant DNA Technology. Through this journey, we’ve witnessed how practical exposure transforms careers.


The Market Reality: Why Just a Degree Isn’t Enough

In the current job market:

  • 7 out of 10 resumes in life sciences are rejected due to a lack of lab experience.
  • Recruiters seek candidates who can run PCR, DNA extraction, SDS-PAGE, and understand biosafety and SOPs.
  • Many M.Sc. and B.Sc. graduates struggle to secure internships or research roles because they have never touched real instruments.

💬 “I had a gold medal in M.Sc., but I couldn’t crack a lab interview until I trained at Heredity Biosciences.” — Priya, Intern (2023 Batch)


What Hands-On Training Teaches You

1. Technical Skill Mastery

From pipetting to PCR thermocycling, students learn:

  • DNA/RNA isolation techniques
  • Gel electrophoresis interpretation
  • Antibiotic sensitivity testing
  • Spectrophotometry and chromatography

2. Error Handling & Critical Thinking

In theory, experiments are perfect. In labs, errors occur—and that’s where real learning begins. Our students develop troubleshooting skills and logical thinking.

3. Confidence for Interviews

When students say, “Yes, I’ve done that experiment before,” during job or PhD interviews, their chances of selection multiply.

4. Teamwork and Communication

Working in real labs trains students in collaborative science, timely documentation, and professional behavior—skills required in any research or industry setup.


Real Case Study: Heredity Biosciences Intern Journey

Name: Sweta Kumari
Background: M.Sc. Microbiology, Ranchi
Training: 2-Month Advanced Microbiology Module
Before: No real lab exposure, struggled with M.Sc. entrance
After: Successfully cracked Ph.D. interview at IISER after completing her thesis project at Heredity Biosciences

“The exposure I got to microbial culturing, Gram staining, and diagnostic kits here was unmatched. I could confidently explain my project in the Ph.D. interview.” – Sweta


Industry Trends Backing Hands-On Training

  • UGC emphasize skill-based learning.
  • Biotech startups prefer trained candidates over freshers with zero exposure.
  • Global research collaborations now prioritize students who can run protocols independently.

  • 3+ years of training legacy
  • Mentorship from Ph.D. scientists
  • ISO-certified lab environment
  • Course modules aligned with real research needs
  • Placement and reference support

Final Thought

Hands-on training is not optional anymore—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re planning for a job in a diagnostics lab, applying for a research fellowship, or aiming to pursue higher studies abroad, practical experience sets you apart from the crowd.

At Heredity Biosciences, we don’t just teach protocols—we shape future-ready researchers.
