Your Voice, Our Progress!

Through this workshop i got clarity on basic concepts and practical knowledge regarding basic tools in field of molecular biology and genetic engineering.

It was nice experience. Would like to attain more workshops. Late evening hours are not comfortable. You can arrange it on Saturday and Sunday that would be great. Secondly live workshops will be more comfortable than online. In online atleast videoconferencing should be provided. Rest was nice. My trainer was really interested in teaching and clarifying doubts. Thank you Dr.Shantanu R Joshi

The course was helpful for me and answered some of my questions. My knowledge has been improved in docking after the course. The trainer was patient with me and explains every thing in a good way. My course was one hour for 10 days, I found it was not enough as most of the time gone in typing and try to explain what I mean and in some stage I found difficulty and couldn't reached what I meant. It will be perfect if you could find another way for communication but not chatting and extend the time of each workshop. In the welcome email, I have been asked to download software but no one mentions that some of them cannot be downloaded in MacBook laptop. As I used Mac I couldn't try some of the programs. I think it will be helpful if you mention in the beginning that, it is better to use windows computer.

The workshop was quite informative and I had a great experience atrending it. I personally feel that if powerpoint presentation / video could have been included in the first session for better understanding.

This program was very good. All the trainers are very supportive. I have cleared all my doubts regarding this workshop. All topics are effectively completed.

It was a great experience. I got to lean a lot. The trainer was really helpful and patient. Thank you!

The course was extremely useful. Our coordinator was very helpful and supportive. She cleared our dobuts with full of her efforts. It will be an immense pleasure in attending future seminars also. Thanks and Regards, Pratibha Sharma B.Tech Biotechnology Shoolini University, Solan, HP

Was a very excellent workshop, learned the process of insilico vaccine designing procrdures, also got some of the basics and logics cleared, and i am also attending the workshop on cancer dated 23 and 24 december 2016, thank you BioDiscovery Group for providing me with this knowledge.

Its a really good program. The faculty was really helpful and extremely clear about the flow of the workshop. The best part about it was i understood the faculty at every point of time. Thank you.

It was wonderful e training program, learned about various computational tools of genomics and proteomics.

The sessions were very good and interactive. Learnt new techniques online and that's the amazing part. Overall it was a nice e-workshop, Yet there could be some improvements. The tutor was very kind, helping, interactive and quite patient in clearing the doubts. Looking forward to more of eWorkshops from BioDiscovery Group.

The workshop is good learned basic tools used in bioinformatics.

5 days of eworkshop on genomics and proteomics was informative. Thank you.

The workshop was very useful and the way of communication worked well. I wish to thank Biodiscovery Group team to make learning this accessible.

The workshop was well organised and the instructor, Mr. Yash, gave clear instructions. It was my first hands-on-experience with molecular modelling and the webinar gave me a fairly good idea about the use of the softwares commonly used for modelling and simulations. I would overall judge my webinar experience as informative and useful. Regards.

The learning experience was good. I am doing my M. Pharmacy,so,it will be helpful to me in future. Before learning this study I didn't have idea much about molecular modelling and drug designing but now I have a good idea about this technology. Methodology was also good. Thanks to BioDiscovery Group, India research unit.

I feel happy to write about BioDiscovery Research team. I completed a six month project which has been very useful for my Research work. Thank you Biodiscovery

The training was good.. Thanks to "The CEO - Biodiscovery" and team.

The course can be more informative and the software training can be given in more detail, since the training was given only to complete the present study, and the other modules and the other options in the software was less known. Hence the practical application may become a little difficult if we perform an individual study.

Learning NGS was really useful and informative for me. It helped to enhance my understanding in NGS. Hope more workshops in future. Thank you!

Name of the program: 7-day NGS workshop: 1- The trainer is very knowledgeable and can answer any question related to the topic. 2- I suggest that the next NGS training to be as a project-based learning workshop instead of sending theoretical information and YouTube videos via Skype. In other words, the training is better to be on a project related to the topic, and the trainer sends tasks gradually to the participants to be performed daily, then Q&A session for every task to answer all doubts. Briefly, like last year Drug discovery technology workshop which was very interesting and amazing.

Overall it was good. Bioinfo/analysis part was a little difficult to understand. The sessions would have been better if they have audio than text. That would have been more interactive. But very informative overall..for a starter.

I found the workshop very helpful as it will not only help in my PhD but also in future endeavours. Devadrita Dey Sarkar made many of doubts cleared in very easy way. Overall I found the workshop enlightening and helpful for me.

The course contents and the tutor who taught are really good. I would like to mention that a video tutorial would have been lot better along with chat on Skype(to clear doubts), like the coursera workshops. It s really good to know that the tutors are extending their support to clear doubts if any, even after the workshop. Thank you for all the support.

Many thanks for providing the opportunity to learn something new in such an easy way. I have one suggestion though, that you could schedule the classes for the same time for all students with an interactive chatting manner. Thank you for the pleasant experience.

The training programme is very useful for developing basic knowledge on Protein modelling and interpreting the Molecular Dynamics mechanism. Overall the institution is very cooperative and supportive, especially, Yash sir. Thank You

I decided to join this workshop in order to get hands on experience in molecular docking. We are using network pharmacology based approaches to scientifically validate the Ayurvedic medicinal plants and formulations. In that we use docking as a validation tool for the data generated. This workshop was helpful in that aspect to get the hands on exposure. The positive things about the workshop were (1) one on one training that gave opportunity to understand the lessons well and clear the doubts, (2) introduced different tools/software that gave an idea how to select them based on the application and (3) the trainers showed the patience to clear the doubts. I felt it would have been excellent if the theory part was explained in a proper and organised way which was weak at many places. Also felt that it would have been useful if you had provided some video links to refer after the course hours. Also have the opinion that the fee of INR. 17000 only for modelling and docking was higher. Altogether it was a nice experience for the last 20 days and I thank all the trainers and the BD team! Wish the BD team all the best in your future endeavours!!!

The Molecular Dynamic Simulation (MDS) training session was clear, well organized. Advantages: --The trainer was accurate in time. --Most of my questions and queries were clearly answered. Disadvantages: --The MDS outcome interpretation has not been explained clearly. --Also, the fee of the workshop is very expensive from my view. Comment: In overall, I am pleased with the workshop and I highly recommend this workshop to other colleague.

The online training for drug discovery has been an amazing experience for me. Its easily accessible and one can be a part of the training from any part of the world because it is conducted online. Understanding the basics of how actually molecules are selected to be in the run of being a potential drug in the future is all I ever wanted to learn and explore, and Biodiscovery group made it possible.
