    The basic concepts of Biostatistics along with data and output interpretation of SPSS was very well explained. Resource persons were knowledgeable, patient and gave time to participants to interact and clear doubt freely. Really glad to be the part of this workshop. Thankful to Mergen for organising this workshop with very good resource persons. Looking forward to more learning and upgrading my knowledge from Mergen BioLogics.
