This course will be a transformative educational experience that goes beyond traditional classroom teaching. It emphasizes the importance of global collaboration and cultural immersion. Students will interact with local researchers and peers, fostering a diverse academic exchange while understanding different perspectives in scientific research. The course is designed to emphasize the process of inquiry, scientific thinking, and equip them with laboratory and data analysis skills. They will visit local research institutes and will experience India's vibrant culture, which will enhance their social and cultural adaptability. The project is designed to address the rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms focusing on investigating the antimicrobial properties of local plant extracts and nanoparticles against them. India's rich biodiversity, and traditional medicinal practices, provide an ideal environment for exploring alternative resources to combat drug resistance. The experience will prepare students for future research endeavors and collaborative projects, contributing to the global fight against antimicrobial resistance.
