About the event

Dear AMBI Members ,
We are pleased to announce the “5th National Postgraduate Update”, returning this year with renewed academic vigour and expanded learning opportunities. Building on the overwhelming response and success of the previous editions, this flagship academic event continues to be thoughtfully curated to address the evolving learning needs of postgraduate students.

This year, participants will once again have the opportunity to strengthen their theoretical foundations while gaining structured hands-on training in the dynamic and ever-evolving field of clinical biochemistry. The practical workshops have been meticulously designed to enhance technical competence, improve analytical skills, and promote deeper conceptual clarity—ensuring a comprehensive and well-rounded learning experience.

In addition to expert-led scientific sessions, the program will provide an academic platform for participants to present their research work, engage in interactive discussions, and receive constructive feedback from distinguished faculty and subject experts from across the country. The inclusion of a virtual platform for guest lectures will further enhance accessibility, enabling participants to benefit from insights shared by nationally and internationally acclaimed experts in a flexible and engaging format.

The credit hours for this academic event have been applied for further underscoring its academic value and professional relevance.

We warmly invite all postgraduate students, senior residents, and interested faculty members to register and take advantage of this enriching academic experience.
