In clinical diagnostic labs and modern cancer research facilities, generating Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data is no longer the rate-limiting step. The true challenge begins when the sequencer completes running.

How do you translate millions of raw FASTQ reads into a clear, accurate, and clinically defensible variant report?

This transition requires more than just running standard command-line tools. It demands a deep understanding of quality control, alignment parameters, variant calling nuances, and strict adherence to official ACMG guidelines for variant interpretation.

Our upcoming 4-week online workshop is designed to take you step-by-step through this exact workflow.

The future of healthcare is being transformed by precision medicine, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) is at the heart of this revolution. Today, NGS is widely used for the diagnosis of cancers, rare genetic disorders, and other genetic conditions, while also guiding personalised treatment decisions in oncology.

However, generating sequencing data is only the first step. The real challenge lies in converting millions of sequencing reads into meaningful clinical insights. From accurate variant detection to the interpretation of complex findings such as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), clinical NGS analysis requires specialised skills and a deep understanding of genomic data.

Our Clinical NGS Data Analysis Workshop is designed to help researchers, clinicians, and students master the complete workflow of clinical genomic data analysis.

🔬 What you will learn:
✔ Quality assessment of raw sequencing data
✔ Sequence alignment and data processing
✔ Germline and somatic variant calling
✔ Variant annotation and prioritisation
✔ Clinical interpretation of genomic variants
✔ Best practices and quality checkpoints in clinical NGS workflows

📅 Workshop Dates: 21st July – 12th August
📆 Sessions: Every Tuesday and Wednesday
⏰ Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM IST

Whether you are a student aspiring to build a career in genomics, a researcher working with NGS data, or a clinician looking to understand genomic reports, this workshop will provide practical knowledge and industry-relevant skills.

Join us and take your first step towards becoming proficient in clinical genomics.

Did you know that over 97% of the human microbiota lives in the gut? These microbes are not just passive residents; they actively influence various activities, such as how patients respond to cancer therapies.

Recent studies reveal that:
✔ Gut bacteria can enhance or reduce the effectiveness of chemotherapy and immunotherapy
✔ Microbial imbalance may lead to drug resistance
✔ Restoring specific microbes can improve treatment outcomes

This is where metagenomics becomes a game-changer. With techniques like 16S rRNA sequencing and shotgun metagenomics, researchers can decode microbial communities and unlock insights that are transforming precision medicine.
