Epigenetic Mechanisms in Gene Regulation
This course provides an in-depth exploration of epigenetic mechanisms including DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA involvement. It covers the implications of these processes in development, health, and disease. Through theoretical learning and practical case studies, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of how epigenetic regulation plays a critical role in gene expression and phenotype manifestation.
Program Aim:
This comprehensive course aims to equip students with both theoretical insights and practical skills, making them valuable candidates for positions in academic research, healthcare, and biotechnological industries focused on genetic and epigenetic research.
Intended For:
Graduates, Post Graduates, Research Scholars, Academicians, Industry Professionals of the field of biology, genetics, molecular biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, epigenetics, pharmaceutical, biotechnological industries.
