Transcription

1 Student Science Training Program June and 3 7 July 2017 Institute of Molecular Biosciences Mahidol University, Salaya, Nakhon Pathom The Institute of Molecular Biosciences, Mahidol University offers a Student Science Training Program for enthusiastic students, aged 14 18, who are interested in advancing their scientific knowledge and skills in molecular biology, neuroscience and chemistry. In this 2-week course, the students will learn key scientific concepts and basic techniques in molecular biosciences and related fields with hands-on experience in laboratories. In addition, those who are keen in conducting scientific research will have the opportunity to join on-going research projects or initiate their own under supervision of members of the academic staff of the Institute through internships. Dates: June and 3 7 July 2017 Duration: 2 weeks Target group: Students aged (Grades 9 12, Years 10 13, Fourth Sixth Forms) Training activities: Lectures and hands-on laboratory exercises Program fee: 30,000 Baht, incl. a 5,000 Baht deposit payable upon registration (a 10% discount applicable for early registration with full payment) Early registration: No later than 24 April 2017 Registration: open until 9 June 2017 For further information, please contact, Chair of the Organising Committee at academic.service.mb@gmail.com.
