This international-level training programme is designed to provide comprehensive theoretical knowledge and intensive hands-on experience in the isolation, cultivation, identification, and taxonomic characterization of microalgae using both classical and modern molecular approaches. The course aims to bridge the gap between traditional morphology-based taxonomy and contemporary molecular systematics, enabling participants to accurately identify microalgal species and understand their ecological and biotechnological significance.

The programme focuses on practical skill development through field sampling, culture establishment, microscopic analysis, use of standard monographs and taxonomic keys, molecular barcoding, DNA sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis. Participants will receive training in operating advanced laboratory instruments and interpreting molecular data to achieve accurate species-level identification.

The training course is particularly beneficial for research scholars, young faculty members, postgraduate students, and early-career researchers working in phycology, microbiology, biotechnology, environmental sciences, aquatic biology, and related disciplines.
