Molecular biology plays a crucial role in advancing knowledge and fostering innovation across medicine, veterinary medicine, and public health. Laboratory practice in this field requires mastery of fundamental techniques. Among these, primer design, sequence data analysis, and phylogenetic tree construction are essential for investigating genetic relationships. A stronger understanding of these methods enhances the effectiveness and accuracy of research.

The workshop attracted 29 participants from the fields of medical and veterinary sciences, including lecturers, researchers, and graduate students.
