Program Structure
The program will enable participants to acquire new knowledge on various facets of biosafety and its importance in transgenic research through a well planned and comprehensive program structure during the four days of interactive learning.

• Evolving mechanism of regulations in transgenic crop development and commercialization  
• Core regulatory framework - Molecular aspects in evaluating good events.
• Food safety, feed safety, allergenicity and risk  assessment of transgenic products
• Methods of evaluation - gene based and event based approach
• Best practices in agronomical and field evaluation studies
• Insect resistant strategies for insect pest management in GM crops
• Durable resistance management strategies in genetically modified crops for abiotic stress
• Evolving mechanism of research partnership in transgenic research with reference to tech transfer and IP issues
• Regulations relating to GM foods and processed GM foods
• Socio economic studies on transgenic crops in South Asia
• Case studies on GM crops – group presentations.
