Curriculum

Fellows s will be supported to settle down into their new environment (find appropriate accommodation, locate amenities, etc.). A desk space will be allocated. Full induction (safety, laboratory practices, personal welfare, etc.) will be provided by the University’s designated staff and by myself. I will arrange an initial meeting with the fellows s to discuss the objectives of the training and the expected mechanisms of their fulfilment. Experimental plans with realistic timelines will then be decided.

The fellows will learn the principal of every laboratory technics. They will then be allowed to observe the experiments. They will be able to engage with me (supervisor) and other members of the laboratory to discuss any aspects of the general running of the laboratory or specific protocols that they require clarifications on. They will also be trained in how to analyze and interpret their data. I will arrange a weekly meeting with the fellows to discuss and reflect on their progress and decide the next set of experiments based on data generated.

The fellows will be given opportunity to partake in research group meetings and other academic activities within the School and the University, including attending relevant bespoke workshops on research career development (e.g., on manuscript writing, grant writing, networking, etc.). They will also be encouraged to present their work orally at a research group meeting at least once before they complete their visit.

All throughout the training any peculiar challenges or specific requests of a fellow will be fully considered to ensure a responsive, relevant and adequate training plan is developed for them.

Questions and Answers

Commonly asked questions about this program from the host and other attendees.

Will i get authorship for a publication?

Authorship for a publication through App.Trialect is a possibility, but it is not guaranteed for every participant. It is contingent on the significant contribution you make to the research during your fellowship, especially for programs that last 12 weeks. To be considered for authorship, your involvement should be substantial and instrumental to the research outcomes. It is advisable to discuss the expectations and criteria for authorship with your host mentor at the beginning of the program to have a clear understanding of the contributions required.
