BIOTECHNOLOGY & LIFESCIENCES
The Biotechnology/Biosciences/Life Sciences program is structured for students in Grades 9–12 planning STEM undergraduate applications in biomedical and life science disciplines. This internship is delivered in association with Advanced Genomics Institute & Laboratory Medicine Pvt. Ltd. (AGILE) and its Labassure diagnostic division, organizations operating in genomics research, molecular diagnostics, and genetic medicine.
Students are exposed to laboratory research environments, clinical diagnostics workflows, cytogenetics, and molecular biology systems through facility immersion and guided project environments. Students work on live or closely modelled laboratory and research processes related to genetic analysis, disease diagnostics, molecular testing, and biomedical data interpretation.
Designed for students planning undergraduate applications in biotechnology, genetics, molecular biology, biomedical sciences, medicine, or life sciences research pathways.
