The students were warmly welcomed by Dr. Girjesh Singh, who gave an insightful talk on agricultural domains, career paths, and the history of IARI. They then toured the Department of Biochemistry, where they observed advanced lab equipment like HPLC and UPLC, and visited labs focused on Tissue Culture, Proteogenomics, and Food Matrix.
