Al Shifa College of Pharmacy Extends Global Engagement Through International Workshop on Zebrafish Husbandry and Embryo Toxicity

 

Al Shifa College of Pharmacy continues to strengthen its international academic collaborations through active participation in globally recognized training programmes. The institution was represented at the Workshop on “Zebrafish Husbandry and Embryo Toxicity”, held on 21–22 August 2025 at the Integrative Pharmacogenomics Institute (iPROMISE), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Selangor, Malaysia.

The two-day workshop brought together researchers and professionals working in zebrafish-based biomedical and toxicological research. The programme offered comprehensive training in zebrafish husbandry, system management, breeding techniques, embryo handling, and toxicity assessment methods, integrating both theoretical and hands-on learning.

During the sessions, participants engaged in practical demonstrations on system setup, health monitoring, feeding, breeding protocol design, spawning procedures, embryo collection, acute toxicity evaluation, and microscopy-based developmental assessment. The workshop also emphasized ethical research practices, safety protocols, and international standards in zebrafish research methodology.

Representing Al Shifa College of Pharmacy, Mr. Abdul Rasheed A R, Associate Professor, Department of Pharmacology, actively participated in all training components and secured First Place in the interactive quiz session conducted on Day Two. This recognition reflects the institution’s commitment to advancing technical expertise and fostering excellence in emerging research models.

The workshop concluded with a valedictory ceremony and certificate distribution. Participants commended the programme for its structured curriculum, interactive delivery, and deep integration of laboratory-based skill development.

Al Shifa College of Pharmacy remains committed to enhancing global exposure for its faculty and promoting excellence in translational research, toxicology, and modern experimental methodologies through international academic collaborations.
