BioTiqania Advanced Training Institute, an initiative of the Dubai Biotechnology and Research Park (DuBiotech), said that more than 100 professionals have so far received advanced training in its Applied Laboratory Safety Programme.

In collaboration with the Continuing Education Department of Dubai Health Authority (DHA), BioTiqania held the program for the staff members of DHA laboratories.

Designed to deliver updated courses on laboratory safety for professionals, the program seeks to raise safety standards and enhance awareness of the research and development industry in various sectors such as health and pharmaceuticals, particularly those based in DuBiotech, a member of Tecom Investments.

“The Applied Laboratory Safety Programme received outstanding feedback from the participants. This did not come as a surprise considering the advanced technical content as well as the comprehensive interactive nature of the sessions that significantly benefited the participants,” stated Dr Fares Khairallah, acting director of BioTiqania.

The Laboratory Safety program is accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training.

It is offered exclusively by BioTiqania in collaboration with the US-based Center for Professional Advancement (CfPA), an international leader in technical training since 1967. CfPA offers over 450 courses in 19 applied industrial technologies.

Accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), the BioTiqania initiative was launched to upgrade the skills of professionals in the scientific and industrial sectors and help them attain technical skills to augment their professional experience.

BioTiqania also conducted a four-day workshop on Leadership Skills for CEOs in healthcare last month as part of its ongoing training agenda.-TradeArabia News Service
