The program was marked by the visit of <strong>50 undergraduate students<\/strong> from the <strong>Department of Medical Lab Technology, Medhavi Skills University (MSU)<\/strong>, accompanied by faculty members <strong>Mr. Prakash Chettri<\/strong> and <strong>Ms. Anumika Sharma<\/strong>.The session commenced with a <strong>formal welcome address by Dr. Dependra Chamlagai<\/strong>, Assistant Professor &amp; Head, Department of Zoology, who offered insights into the ongoing activities of the department. The students were introduced to the infrastructural and research facilities housed within the Biotech Hub, and were apprised of the current dissertation works undertaken by M.Sc. Zoology students, particularly in the fields of <strong>Immunology<\/strong>, <strong>Parasitology<\/strong> and <strong>Ecology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To honor the guests, faculty member <strong>Ms. Lhaki Doma Sherpa<\/strong> extended a warm gesture by offering <em>khadas<\/em> on behalf of the department. Faculty members <strong>Mr. John Bhutia<\/strong> and <strong>Mr. Jigmee Sonam Bhutia<\/strong> were also present and actively participated in the proceedings.\u00a0 Following the welcome, the students were given a detailed tour of the <strong>Biotech Hub<\/strong> by <strong>Mr. Y.B. Rai<\/strong>, Lab Instructor, and <strong>Mr. Diwash Sharma<\/strong>, Lab Attendant. Demonstrations covered a range of techniques aligned with the Medical Lab Technology curriculum, including: <strong>Gel Electrophoresis, PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and Gel Documentation System for DNA Visualisation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The session offered a meaningful platform for <strong>interactive learning and <\/strong><strong>academic collaboration<\/strong>, enriching the participants\u2019 understanding of applied molecular biology techniques. <strong>Mr. Prakash Chettri<\/strong> expressed gratitude on behalf of the Department of Medical Lab Technology, Medhavi Skills University, to the <strong>Principal<\/strong> and the <strong>Department of Zoology, NBBGC<\/strong>, for hosting this informative and inspiring visit. The program was a resounding success, reinforcing institutional ties and enhancing scientific learning through shared academic experiences. The event concluded on a high note, with both institutions looking forward to future collaborative opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-5921-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-5921-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5921-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-d6014b76747a\">\n\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img.png\" width=\"791\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img.png 791w, https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img-360x203.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-5921-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5921-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-d6014b76747a\">\n\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img2.png\" width=\"617\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img2.png 617w, https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img2-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img2-360x204.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Zoology, NBBGC, organized an academic exchange program titled &#8220;Biotech Connect&#8221; on 10th April 2025 at its Biotech <a href=\"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/?p=5921\" class=\"read-more\">Read More &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,6,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-news","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5921"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5921\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5971,"href":"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5921\/revisions\/5971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbbgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
