THEME |
|
Genetics and Biotechnology in the recent past has emerged as the foremost
areas of biological sciences. This is mainly due to rapid development and
our understanding of cellular molecular biological events underlying
life’s processes. Increased understanding of Biological Phenomenon along
with inventions of cutting edge technologies have resulted in the
emergence of new areas of research and development. Besides, computational
tools have revolutionized the approach to Biological problems. To keep
abreast of these developments as well as to gain knowledge regarding
emerging areas, it is planned to organize an
International Symposium On
“Frontiers in Genetics and Biotechnology – Retrospect and Prospect”.
It
is envisaged that this International Symposium will serve as a platform
for interaction between scientists, academicians, students and
industrialists a like
Following are the broad themes
of the Symposium:
1.
Functional Genomics and
Genome Analysis.
2.
Functional Proteomics and
Homology modeling of proteins.
3.
Immunodeficiency and
diseases.
4.
Recent Trends in Cancer
Management and Human Molecular Biology.
5.
Genetic Diseases and Gene
Therapy.
6.
Stem Cell Research and its
