Report on Crash Course in Biological Techniques
The crash course in Biological techniques was conducted in the Department of Zoology from 8 th Aug to 29 th Aug 2010 on Sundays as follows:
Right from the first day we received overwhelming response from the students of F.Y., S.Y. & T.Y. B.Sc. forcing us to increase the strength of students for this batch to around 40 from 30 students anticipated earlier.
Also on this day there were special guests who visited the department. They were Prin. Dr. Sanjay Kharat, Dr. Chinchnikar (Dept. of Botany, University of Pune), and Visitor Prof. P.G. Dixit. They welcomed and encouraged the students and also guided them regarding prospects of such courses. This was an informal inauguration of the course and all the staff members of the department attended the first day.
The first session took place from 10.00-11.15am when Mrs. Sangita Sontakke (Asst. Prof. Zoology Dept.) gave the students idea of Bioinformatics. The second session started at 11.30am with detailed discussion about what is Bioinformatics and also the practical demonstrations. Mr. Narendra. V. Nyayanit (Asst. Prof. Zoology Dept., S.P. College) conducted this session. He discussed a variety of areas where Bioinformatics can be applied and by using internet facilities he demonstrated some of the Bioinformatics activities to the students. The students could gather the information of a topic which is usually not a part of their curriculum. The session was highly interactive and students got motivated to make use of Bioinformatics for number of purposes.
This was the second day on which Introduction to Animal tissue culture was scheduled. The first session on this covered the developmental aspects of animal conducted by Dr. S. A. Inamdar (Head, Zoology Dept) from 10.00am – 11.15am. For the second session which started at 11.30 am the invited resource person was Dr. Savita. P. Datar, Head, Zoology Dept., S. P. College. She introduced the animal tissue culture to the students and then practically demonstrated to them how to culture chick embryos and also to culture organs. In a group of 5-6 students, students also performed the culturing of chick embryos which showed growth up to 72 hours later. It was an interesting practical for the students and they are now interested in culturing and maintaining chick embryos on their own for carrying out various projects.
On the third day of the course, Mrs. Bharati Patil (Asst. Prof. Zoology Dept.) conducted the first session from 10.00am – 11.15am. She spoke about Scope of Biological Techniques. Dr. Sameer S. Terdalkar was the invited resource person. He explained the students the principles of some techniques that are very commonly used in life sciences.
Visit to Stem cell bank:
We had taken the students for a visit to a stem cell bank located in Pune city. There they had the opportunity to know various instruments that are used for tissue culture techniques and for working with stem cells. The visit was arranged on Wed, 7 th Sep 2010 from 10.30am to 3.00 pm.
The students had a chance to interact with the renowned faculty in this field and hence they are highly motivated to work in field of Zoology and research which was the outcome of this course.
