This session will discuss the role of advanced molecular techniques in improving food safety and environmental monitoring. Key methods such as PCR, DNA sequencing, and other molecular diagnostic tools will be highlighted for their ability to rapidly and accurately detect pathogens, contaminants, and pollutants in food and environmental samples, providing insights into their practical applications in research and quality monitoring.

This webinar will provide a comprehensive guide to the complete research workflow, beginning from the development of a research idea to the effective dissemination of scientific findings. Participants will learn the essential steps involved in research design, literature review, data collection, analysis, manuscript writing, journal selection, and the publication process. The session will also discuss strategies for communicating and disseminating research through conferences, academic platforms, and digital media. In addition, the webinar will introduce various AI tools that can assist researchers in literature searching, writing support, data analysis, and visualization. Special emphasis will be placed on the ethical and responsible use of AI in research, including issues related to academic integrity, plagiarism, transparency, and proper attribution.

This webinar provides an in-depth exploration of forensic toxicology, focusing on its real-world applications in criminal investigations and medico-legal cases. Delivered by a Retired Assistant Director of the State Forensic Science Laboratory, the session will bridge theoretical concepts with practical case-based insights. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how toxicological analysis is used to detect poisons, drugs, and toxic substances, and how these findings contribute to legal decision-making. The session will also highlight career opportunities, required skill sets, and pathways to enter the field of forensic toxicology.
