iGAP Training – GeneAura

Learn From a Real Industry Expert In The Field of Genomics

It has been a long and a difficult journey curating this team in GeneAura, mostly because the field of genomics and proteomics lack manpower. In Fact it lacks awareness among the students and schools. To make up for this lacunae we aim to create skilled manpower for the benefit of the society and also of course for the student. Candidates skilled in advanced technologies of Genomics and bioinformatics are highly seeked by international job providers.

Our research and education department has expanded into iGAP (Institute of Genomics And Proteomics), to carry out its activities pertaining to students. Our team engages in active research attempting to study the most demanding research areas. We also conduct training and internship programs for graduate and undergraduate students. Our main focus for research and education programs are focused on the following topics:

Genomics

Next Generation Sequencing, other sequencing technologies, PCR, RTPCR, Cloning etc

Proteomics

Microarray, Chromatography based technologies, Mass spectrometry, Gel based methods

Bioinformatics

Human variant analysis, Molecular docking, Drug Designing,

Genetic Counseling

Human Genetics, Clinical Genetics, Genetic Testing

Biostatistics

pertaining to human and clinical work, Genomic statistics

Research methodologies

designing a project, systematic review, meta-analysis..

We have conducted several internship programs for graduate and undergraduate students since March 2021. Our past online and Offline workshops have also gained enormous support and appreciation from students, faculty and research scholars from around the globe. We take utmost priority in communicating our scientific findings from research projects and internships in indexed journals which would benefit the students and the scientific community.

Internship Opportunities

We are offering various internship modules for life science students and the duration of the program can be customized. Below are the modules we offer for the Internship Program.

Students can choose one of these modules.

Genetic Counseling

Advanced principles of human genetics. Students will be trained to draw pedigrees for real- time cases. Introduction to clinical genetics and testing options.

PCR and Primer Designing

Guidelines of PCR. Students will learn to perform PCR, be trained to design primers for different types of PCR and validate using Insilico PCR.

Cancer Genomics

Role of Genetics in Cancer pathalogy. Students will be trained to analyze hereditary/ somatic cancer for real-time cases and clinical applications such as analyzing triple negative and Her2 positive for breast malignancy.

Bioinformatics

Handling of human Genetic databases. Students will be trained to use various databases and extract sequences for downstream applications such as analysis of protein structure for drug designing, infection screening and clinical diagnosis of Mendelian disorders.

DNA Barcoding

Concept of DNA Barcoding. Students will be trained in DNA extraction, sequencing and analyzing the sequence using bioinformatics to identify molecular markers.

Computer-Aided Drug Designing

Industrial applications of Molecular Docking. Students will be trained in handling 3D protein structure, validation using ramachandra plots, working with Pymol, Autodock, SBDD, Auto Grid, Bond interaction, RMSD scoring and ADME analysis.

Clinical Variant Prioritization using In–silico Methods

Data mining from human genetic databases. Students will be trained for In -Silico Analysis of Pathogenic Variants and scoring of non-coding variants, clinical reporting of pathogenic variants, tools and methods to analyze variants and ACMG Guidelines.

Clinical Exome Sequencing

Introduction to Next Generation Sequencing. Students will be trained in NGS data Secondary analysis, Variant Priotitazion methods, In- silico analysis and reporting to patients.

Testimonials

“It was great! the internship was super informative and the teacher assigned to us was very supportive and helpful. She knew exactly what she was teaching and made the learning fun which i didn’t think was possible!”

Vishnupriya J

SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Biotechnology student (3rd year)

“Purely it was a pleasant experience being my first internship. Friendly guidance with valuable hands-on experience. Personally, gained more knowledge on how a research work is carried”

Vignesh Thangappan

SAVEETHA SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING , Bio-Technology student (3rd year)

“It was a very unique experience. I got to learn many new things. It took me some time to pick up with the teaching but I believe it was worth it.”

Swaminathan Hariharan

SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Biotechnology student (3rd year)

“Gene aura offered us in-depth knowledge in our subject of study in a more user-friendly manner, and learning here was a lot of fun.”

MANASA

Saveetha School of Engineering ,Biotechnology student (3rd year)

“If I were to sum it up, I received more than just knowledge from this experience with Gene Aura. Dr. Janani Dakshinamoorthy Mam provided us with the opportunity to express ourselves through a wide range of interests in our field of study. She encouraged us and assisted us in completing our tasks without feeling rushed.”

DHIVYA

SAVEETHA SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING , Bio-Technology

“Gene Aura gave me a platform to pursue my interest in scientific research in this pandemic, a forum of like-minded people to discuss scientific concepts and principles with. It was a refreshing change of pace and the internship clarified core concepts related to the subject while introducing academic writing to us.”
