About the event

Dear AMBI Members & Guests,

Following what an inspiring leader said “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together”, we are happy to announce the “2nd National Postgraduate Update cum CME”.

This academic event is aimed to bring the medical biochemistry community together to provide the latest education in clinical biochemistry and molecular diagnostics to meet the evolving needs of laboratory professionals. The programme is tailored keeping in mind the needs of the post graduate students, who will also get an opportunity to present their work.

This virtual event will provide greater accessibility and flexibility to enrich their knowledge in a most convenient way.

We welcome all postgraduate students, junior and senior residents to register and benefit from this event.
