"After pursuing my Bachelor of Engineering in biotechnology in the year 2011, I wanted to work. But due to the gap between supply and demand for skilled work force for the industry, I felt the need to pursue higher education along with an industry exposure. At the right moment, Biotechnology Finishing School (BTFS) was initiated to bridge the gap between academics and industry by Govt. of Karnataka with the association of Govt. of India. Courses with different specialization in reputed institutions across the state were offered. As I had a passion towards the healthcare management, I chose Cellular and molecular diagnostics as my domain in BTFS Program. I thank the excellent research faculty and staff for educating with hands on training on molecular biology and cell biology techniques. Institution has state-of-art infrastructure and resources to nurture the young minds. Inter personal communication skills were also developed. It was a wonderful experience to become a part of various conferences, workshops and guest lectures hosted by institution. The internship helped me to gain knowledge about the diagnostic sector and handle the sophisticated instruments in the modern diagnostic laboratories. Principles of how the various diagnostic tests are discovered, developed and adapted was understood."
