» Journal Club


 

At NIRT, we do conduct, Journal Club, which is considered as an integral part of our academic activity within the institute to improve the understanding and knowledge base and to bring in more clarity on our research focus. Scientists at different levels and various disciplines do participate and they present their interested topics of research and initiate thought provoking questions and create an ambience for all possible collaborations within them. Besides, new proposals which are developed by principal investigators also make use of this forum to develop their protocols and to be reviewed by the senior scientists. This will be conducted every Wednesday afternoon between 2.00 to 3.00 pm. Besides NIRT scientists, we also had the privilege to accommodate invited speakers from both national and internationally renowned speakers to reach out our scientists with their novel findings.

We wish to emphasize, the value of the talks at the Journal Club and the importance of attendance for all meetings. Please ensure that every one of you engage and participate, not only for the talks of people in your own field but also those of other field of research.
