Welcome to the Infection Diagnosis Workshop

The School of Biotechnology (BT), International University – VNUHCM, in collaboration with the Institute of Medicine at the University of Tsukuba, Japan, is hosting the Infection Diagnosis Workshop from August 26th to August 31st, 2023. The workshop aims to teach students valuable knowledge of the principles and techniques to identify and characterize pathogenic bacteria from random samples and the environment around us. It is an excellent opportunity for IU students to learn directly from Prof. Kazuya Morikawa and engage with exceptional students from Tsukuba University, Japan.
