ANB, My Hide Out!

AN Biotechnology, One-quarter year old research lab in Chennai. Gave me an opportunity to work and being my hide out for the moment. To born with In plant training for various aspects of Biotechnology and will planning to climb up the ladder by doing some Contract Research and Kit Manufacturing. To stumble the market, venture into R&D as it grows. This will be the company's mission and vision as of now. Started by Mr. Mani, as a cog in the wheel, Miss. Saranya (Business Analyst), Miss. Jeeji and me (as a Research Analysts) rolling the big stone from down the hill heading towards the tip. Those who did Biotechnology will know the intensity of pain, pragmatic difficulties and hard work it pulls from us. Dr. Varadharajan and Dr. Ananya Jeshtadi (Scientific Advisers), who walk along with ANB as a shadow of strength and give us a hand when ever required. Being an example of research lab, as it should be, ANB follows all the Health and Safety procedures, keeping the safety and quality as first priority, provided to the students. By God's blessing, we started our first batch of Basic Molecular Biology Training on 14 June 2011. Total of 4 joined, one of them being an ENT specialist, Doctor by profession (Dr. Rukesh) and rest three are pre final year B.Tech Biotechnology students (Miss. Ramya, Miss. Nandhini & Miss Rameez) from Shree Sastha Engineering College. Meanwhile, the training sessions, The Hindu - Educational Plus had established our presence by publishing a write up on Monday, 13 June 2011, only on Chennai and a week followed issue (20 June 2011) carried us to rest of the Tamil Nadu. Trust me! We got an amazing response and many enquires regarding not only our where-abouts but also many students who seek advise for what to pursue after their graduation. ANB was overwhelmed! Just four professional graduates with two senior scientists are in the venture to seek the likely impossible, into possible. Their training sessions were almost done by today, Dr. Ananya came all the way from Hyderabad to listen to their final presentation of what they had learnt in the last half a month and to distribute their certificates of award. Most likely, the valedictory function will get over by tomorrow and we have to move forward for next batch, awaiting to start their Advanced Molecular Biology programme on Thursday. Whilst, there were also some students waiting for Diploma and final year projects need to be done by upcoming weeks. Being a busy bee, here I conclude :)
