About This Course
A 3‑day, globally relevant course on insect immunity and AI‑enabled pest management—covering immune pathways, immune priming, RNAi/biopesticide relevance, and predictive modelling. Across 4 Weeks, you will go deep on immune pathways, immune priming, and RNAi/biopesticide relevance, then consolidate everything in a capstone project. Every participant receives a verified e-Certificate and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
