Overview

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized modern healthcare, transforming diagnostics, precision medicine, oncology, infectious disease surveillance, and genetic disorder management. With the exponential growth of sequencing technologies, the ability to analyze and interpret NGS data has become one of the most in-demand skills in life sciences and clinical research.

This program is designed to provide participants with real-world exposure to variant analysis, RNA-Seq, metagenomics, pathogen identification, and clinical data interpretation. This intensive training program bridges the gap between theoretical genomics and practical healthcare applications — empowering participants with industry-ready computational skills.
