Laboratory training

During my undergraduate level I had laboratory training (practicals) in genetics, microbiology, and biochemistry. I had separate laboratories for each subjects with advanced techniques. Genetics practicals contained DNA separation techniques and Drosophila breeding, etc. Microbiology practicals contained Culture techniques and identification using biochemical tests, industrial microbial techniques etc. In Biochemistry practicals I had preparation of some antibiotics,titration, etc. During my Postgraduate level I trained in microbiology laboratory. In our microbiology laboratory (Prof. Vasanthi Thevanesam, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka) for the ‘identification of gram positive and gram negative bacteria’ we used to do biochemical tests according to our ‘Standard Procedure’ (SOP) and after that used to perform antibiotic sensitivity tests. Hence, I have hands on experience in identification of pathogenic microorganisms, antibiotic sensitivity tests, and also in molecular biology techniques, etc.

Course work

During my undergraduate level, syllabus for microbiology was Basic microbiology & Control of Microorganisms, Microbial taxonomy & Culture, Microbial physiology & Microbial Genetics, Microbial taxonomy & culture techniques, Molecular biology, Genetic Engineering & Biophysics, Agriculture & Environment microbiology, Food & Dairy microbiology, Immunology & Medical microbiology, Industrial microbiology & Microbial techniques. In Genetics, I had the course work like Cell biology & Model organisms, Mendelian Genetics & Biometry, Molecular Genetics, Genetic Engineering & Cloning, Human Genetics, Advanced Genetics, and Applied Genetics. The syllabus for biochemistry was basic concepts of biochemistry, biomolecules and their structures, functions, systems biology, etc. In my postgraduate level, the course work was General microbiology,Medical Bacteriology, Medical Virology, Medical Mycology, Medical Parasitology, Diagnostic Microbiology, Recombinant DNA Technology, Applied Molecular Biology, Laboratory management, Basic Statistics.
