Being part of the Experteze pilot program “Role of Computational Biology in the Post-Corona Era” at through RVS CAS was a very beneficial opportunity and experience for my academic career. The introduction into bioinformatics and basic understanding of different tools for dry lab research was helpful since the current biomedical research landscape involves a large portion in which utilizing such tools is essential and I think it served as a basis for understanding bioinformatics applications. The collaborative spirit definitely helped build better connections and be strong in a field that I was not previously exposed to. The use of R and general concepts for identification of homologs was very fruitful and including such an intensive course onto my CV has been an addition that helped me enter a PhD research position which puts many of the concepts from the course into use, being a molecular biology project, where I now know the different databases from which I can retrieve sequences and predict different homologous strains. This mini-project with other members was a good chance to both understand which data to concentrate on and we were able to present this data among our peers to grow the conversation about microRNA and its role in disease research. The different disease research pathways were helpful in identifying new ways to contribute to solutions or tools that would simplify or make research more efficient and have real-world applications. I would definitely recommend for students in different life sciences to take this course to inculcate and enrich their knowledge in bioinformatics because it serves as more than a crash course and will be a stepping stone for their career.

I am truly honored to share my experience with Experteze. As someone who deeply values community service and social impact, I can confidently say that this organization goes above and beyond in its mission to make a positive difference in the education and research side. From the moment I became involved with Experteze, I was struck by the passion and dedication of its team members particularly with Dr. Mohan. His commitment to serving others is truly inspiring, and it's evident in every project and initiative he undertakes. One thing that sets Experteze apart is its unwavering focus on addressing the most pressing issues facing in the field of research and between researchers. Whether it's providing essential services to underserved researchers/ students, or implementing innovative solutions to complex problems, this team tackles each challenge with compassion and determination. But perhaps what impresses me the most is the impact that experteze has created on me in the field of research. I've had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the positive changes brought about by their programs and initiatives during my undergrad. Whether it's empowering individuals to reach their full potential, providing critical support during times of need, or fostering a sense of belonging, experteze truly makes a difference.

I am proud to support experteze and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to their important work. I wholeheartedly recommend this organization to anyone looking to make a meaningful impact in the field of research at any streams. Thank you, Experteze, for all that you do for my growth in research field!

I am really very proud to express that I am in a good contact with the team and Dr. Mohan till date, he is my mentor on all my steps. Best wishes for the team to reach great heights and I will lend my support to Experteze always.

I am extremely glad to be a part of the Experteze research team. During my undergraduate studies, I joined the Experteze Bioinformatics Bootcamp, where I learned a lot about the practical applications of bioinformatics. It was here that I gained my first research experience and learned how to conduct research. Joining Experteze and participating in the bootcamp motivated me to start reading research articles and reviewing multiple papers, all thanks to the guidance I received from Experteze.

Experteze is a fantastic platform that not only focuses on research but also on training the next generation of scientists. In my first year of undergraduate studies, there was no opportunity to learn about conducting research, but after joining Experteze, I learned a great deal. Experteze is an excellent platform for learning, networking, and research collaborations. It provides students the opportunity to learn and apply their knowledge by working with the great scientists who are part of the Experteze research team.

I recently completed the online certification course on the role of computational biology in the post corona era, which was jointly offered by my college and experteze. As a part of the experteze research program, I found the course to be extremely informative and valuable.

The course content was extensive and covered a wide range of topics related to computational biology and its applications in the post corona era. Dr.Mohan is knowledgeable and experienced, providing in-depth insights and making each of us understand the concepts better by involving us in various projects and those case studies allowed me to apply the knowledge I gained and develop important skills that are relevant in today's world.

Moreover, the support and resources provided by experteze were exceptional. The platform was easy to navigate, and I had access to a variety of supplementary materials that complemented the course content.

Overall, I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this course. It has enriched my understanding of computational biology and its significance in the post corona era.Thank you to my college and experteze for offering such a valuable learning experience.

Thanking you
