The Indian Institute of Science Education Research (IISER) Kolkata was established in 2006 as an autonomous institute for higher education by the Ministry of Education, Government of India. The basic idea of IISER is to create research universities of the highest caliber in which teaching and education will be totally integrated with the state of the art research. IISER-K has a vibrant campus with strong faculty members of repute and a supportive non-teaching staff. The students pursuing various degrees are among the best in the country and thus far have established a commendable culture.

IISER Kolkata's Animal Facility is registered by the "Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CCSEA)”, a body of the Government of India. The “Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (IAEC)" evaluates and approves all the conduct of animal experiments as per CCSEA rules & regulations. The Animal facility, facilitates animal research of immune-competence and suppressive small animals under a well established "Animal Bio-Safety Level 2 (ABSL2)" state of the art facility. The facility is well equipped with modern instruments as per scientific standards, and houses a well trained technical staff & various scientific teams. The facility is registered with the CCSEA (Reg.No.1385/GO/ReBi/S/10/CPCSEA). Animal Facility , IISER KOLKATA also provides other research opportunities in collaboration with the Department of Biological Sciences IISER KOLKATA such as Flow cytometry, Confocal imaging, Real Time PCR, Sequencing and other high end imaging tools, advanced equipments.

The certificate course is aimed at providing hands-on training to young students and researchers in “handling small animals (mice), ethics, the basics of animal house management, different research methodologies for animal research, and future perspectives on inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research opportunities." In addition, the workshop also aims to put forward an effort to minimize the gap between inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research opportunities for the well-being of humankind. Participation will enhance knowledge of science and contribute to developing multi-dimensional research ideas and opportunities. Participants with a certificate of participation can add to their skills, which can boost their opportunities abroad for higher studies. Learn more about the modules available.
