This program provides knowledge and practical laboratory skills to the trainees towards a Technician career both in academic labs and industry. This program is equivalent to postgraduate level. (NOTE: Trainees once admitted into this course can choose to continue towards the three year "Junior Scientific Investigator" certification)

• Life Sciences

In addition to the core, trainees may choose up to 3 electives of their choice. However, this requires the internal evaluation of the trainee by the Founder of TCABS-E (Click here for electives list!)

​
