Organized by Centre for Research, Innovation & Training (CRIT)

in collaboration with Department of Botany

18-23 September, 2023

The Centre for Research, Innovation and Training (CRIT) and Department of Botany of IIS (deemed to be University), Jaipur organized a six day workshop on ‘Histology’ for research scholars and PG students of the school of Life Sciences.

The session commenced with a warm welcome to all the students of the session.

Dr. Radhika Sharma , Head Department of Microbiology and Biotechnology ,delivered the welcome address and the resource person Dr. Yashmin Akhtar , Assistant Professor in Botany , Kanodia PG College , Jaipur,  introduced various aspects of histology , highlighting its importance in life science  research. A powerpoint presentation was used to explain Histology  in depth and clarity.                                                                        

On Day one , the workshop  started with the initial step,  fixation process of plants and animal tissues. On Day Two  the resource person elaborated the dehydration step critical for making good slides .Embedding  step was highlighted on the third day , while sectioning was explained on the fourth day . Staining, using various stains was deliberated upon the fifth day . Observation and interpretation was done on the last day. Each and every procedure was practically demonstrated by Dr Yashmin Akhtar in easy and comprehensible manner and all the participants were engaged completely.

Objectives of the Workshop:-
