Descriptions

SmartED’s Genetic Engineering program offers students a deep dive into the fast-evolving world of genetics, molecular biology, and biotechnology. The curriculum blends foundational genetic principles with hands-on exposure to tools like PCR, CRISPR, cloning vectors, and bioinformatics. Students explore genetic engineering applications in agriculture, medicine, and industry through interactive virtual lab sessions using platforms like Labster and Learn.Genetics. The course culminates with a capstone project where learners apply genetic techniques to propose or simulate a solution to a real-world problem in healthcare, agriculture, or environmental biotech.
