In collaboration with the USA, Faculty of Agriculture is to hold the 1st workshop and training course on applications of Bioinformatics and Molecular Biology from January 10 to January 21, 2009. The workshop is sponsored by Prof. Dr. Ahmed Magdy El Gohary, President of Fayoum University, Prof. Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim El Khaleely, Vice President for Postgraduate Studies and Research, Prof. Dr. Samir Seif Al Yazzal, Dean of Faculty of Agriculture and Prof. Dr. Sanaa Haroon, Course Secretary-General and Director of Nematology and Biotechnology Unit, Faculty of Agriculture,
Fayoum University.
Training Course Objectives
-Fundamentals of molecular biology
-Practical practices in the field of molecular biology, bioinformatics, and tissue culture, and their uses in genetic engineering
Workshop Pivots
*Keeping abreast with the latest techniques used in various
fields
*Shedding light on molecular biology and bioinformatics and
their role in medicine and agricultural and industrial fields
* Having an outlook of this science and its impact on the
scientific development of various fields
Salient Pivots
*Training Course (10-20 January)
*A workshop (January 21)
The following professors will give
lectures as well as practical training in both the training
course and the workshop :
Prof. Dr. Ben Matthews (Research Leader Biotechnology
Lab in USAID, USA).
· Prof. Dr. Jim Saunders (Head of Department Molecular
Biology & Biotechnology – Towson University, USA)
Prof. Dr. Sanaa A. Haroon (Director of Nematology &
Biotechnology Unit – Fayoum University, Egypt).
