This week marked the beginning of a new chapter in the Department of Life Sciences in SELS, with the initiation of classes for Master’s program in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics. Dr. Rashed Noor delivered the first lecture, followed by Dr. Ashrafus Safa and Dr. Sabrina Elias. The MSc program has begun with 19 graduate students. This is an important milestone for the Department and the School. Many thanks to all who contributed relentlessly to achieve this. Through our collective efforts we will be able to take the Department forward and achieve more success with time. Hearty welcome to the new Master’s students !!.
