BDG LifeSciences is a distinguished bioinformatics company established in 2010 and operates globally. Headquartered in India the company specializes in facilitating workshops, training programs, novel & innovative research projects, and online courses in technologies of bioinformatics & life science. The company is registered under the Ministry of MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises), Government of India, with the registration number UDYAM-UP-01-0019151. Recently, BDG Lifesciences, India has authorized BBR Group Pty Ltd., Australia (ACN 608 550 849), to operate its programs in Australia & New Zealand.
With a focus on practical application of technology, where participants work on their own computer/laptop on software/servers, BDG LifeSciences has been a leader in the sector for the last 14 years.
Since its inception, BDG LifeSciences has successfully educated a diverse range of participants globally, including students, scientists, faculty members, professors, and corporate executives.
We were the first to launch a workshop and training course (Online & Onsite) on CRISPR/Cas 9 in May 2017 and since then did it successfully several times. Now advancing in the technology we have launched another CRISPR workshop which is a 3-day complete hands-on Online Workshop in CRISPR based Diagnostics. Diagnostics based on the detection of nucleic acids are among the most sensitive and specific. Recent developments in CRISPR based diagnostics aim to enable accurate testing at home, at the point of care and in the field. This program will be an extensive hands-on training program in which everyday 120 minutes of live session will be conducted by Dr Shahul Hameed and participants will run the processes (insilico) on their own computer systems with complete learning of this revolutionary technology. Video recording of each session will be provided at the end of the session to give the user a unique learning experience. On successful completion of the course participation certificate will be awarded.
TOPICS
PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Several Servers and Software will be covered for design and diagnosis of viral diseases.
OUTCOME OF THIS PROGRAM: Participants will learn how to use bioinformatics tools to design CRISPR based diagnostic kits for viral diseases
TARGET AUDIENCE
Student: Bachelor, Masters, PhD, MBBS, MD students as well as Faculty and Professors from Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Immunology, Medicine, Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Biomedical Technology, Genetics, Bioinformatics, Plant Science and Life Sciences.
Professionals: Resident Doctors, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Medicine and Pharmaceutical scientists from industry, academia, and regulatory agencies. Hands-on exercises will be performed individually using software tools on your own laptops. (no prior experience required).
RESOURCE PERSON
Dr. Shahul Hameed is a researcher and his research involves developing CRISPR based gene therapy for Muscular dystrophy and Sickle Cell Anaemia. He is also involved in the development of novel delivery systems for gene therapy. His research interest extends to design of mRNA based therapeutics and design of Artificial Intelligence based Digital health & Imaging tools. In Collaboration with Dystrophy Annihilation Research Trust, his lab was involved in gene editing of DMD gene for development of CRISPR based therapeutics. [Nov 2018 to Aug 2022]
He has worked as Senior Assistant Professor at B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent University, Chennai and earlier at Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, Erode. He was involved in teaching biotechnology subjects like Protein Engineering, Genomics and Proteomics, Structural Biology, Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Genetic Engineering and Chemical Reaction Engineering to students. His research work involved Drug Design against S100A4 oncoprotein. Further development of Machine Learning based tools for predicting thermodynamic stability of enzyme mutants. He was selected through ERASMUS to conduct workshops on drug design and protein engineering at University of Nottingham, UK.
He is a PhD in Biological Sciences from Indian Institute of Science(IISc), Bangalore. At IISc, his research work involved Protein Engineering and Structural Characterization of the engineered mutants using Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and other biophysical methods. His research work also involved characterization of Protein-Protein interactions using experimental techniques, like NMR and Mass spectrometry, genetic engineering and Computer simulations.
He did his postdoctoral training at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. There his work involved development of novel NMR techniques to study huge protein complexes. His work also involved Cloning, Protein Expression and Purification of motor proteins.
