Ilia State University Professor, Cort Anderson will introduce students the new Master Program in Applied Genetics of Ili State University faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering at Iakob Gogebashvili Telavi State University on April 4, 12:00.

Applied Genetics Master Program goal is to help students understand the utility of genetics-based technology. Whether or not they go on to use these skills in their subsequent careers, these students will be informed consumers of this technology - they will be better able to deploy the technology appropriately themselves, and evaluate information that has been generated by others using biotechnology. Through a combination of lectures, laboratory - and field-based training, students will learn not just concepts, but actual practice and procedures of applied genetics. The materials taught in this program will prepare students for careers in agricultural, industrial, or biomedical genetics applications, as well as molecular ecology and evolution.

Venue: Telavi State University Campus I, floor 4, room # 80 (#1 Kartuli Universiteti Street).

The meeting language is English.
