BAW- 2025 : Frontiers in Disease Biology

&

Hands-on workshop on Preclinical animal mouse models;

Translating Basic science to Clinic

Workshop to be held between 27 June - 1st July 2025 at IISER Kolkata

The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata is proud to announce the upcoming BAW 2025: Frontiers in Disease Biology, a premier five-day conference dedicated to advancing our understanding of disease mechanisms and innovative research approaches in biomedical sciences. Scheduled to take place from 27th June to 1st July 2025, this event will bring together leading national and international scientists, early career investigators, and researchers to share groundbreaking insights into disease biology.

The conference will feature a dynamic format, blending didactic lectures and hands-on workshops to provide a comprehensive learning experience.

Conference Structure:

Day 1: Inauguration Day – The conference will commence with an inaugural session featuring keynote addresses by eminent scientists, an overview of the event’s objectives, and networking opportunities.

Days 2-5: Each day will be divided into two distinct sessions:

Morning Session: Engaging lectures by renowned national and international scientists alongside early career investigators. These sessions will cover the latest developments in disease biology, including molecular mechanisms, therapeutic strategies, and emerging technologies in biomedical research.

Afternoon Session: Hands-on workshops focusing on essential research techniques, including:

Animal Handling – Understanding preclinical models in disease research.
Histopathology – Microscopic examination of tissues for disease diagnosis.
Flow Cytometry – High-throughput cell analysis techniques for disease characterization.
Microscopy – Advanced imaging techniques for cellular and molecular investigations.

This event aims to foster scientific exchange, skill development, and interdisciplinary collaborations to push the boundaries of disease biology research. Whether you are a seasoned scientist or an early-career researcher, BAW 2025 promises to be an enriching experience that will enhance knowledge and technical expertise in the field of biomedical sciences. The knowledge and skills gained during the workshop have the potential to catalyze translational research initiatives that directly impact National health priorities by addressing a specific health issue prevalent in a specific region.

Furthermore, the empowered cohort of participants can play a pivotal role in elevating the standard of research at ·a regional level, creating a ripple effect that extends beyond individual capacities. On a global scale, the dissemination of advanced scientific knowledge through these outcomes can contribute to collaborative efforts in tackling broader health challenges. The enhanced capabilities of the workshop participants may lead to collaborative research projects, partnerships, and initiatives that transcend geographical boundaries, ultimately influencing the discourse and strategies for global health improvement. In summary, the expected outcomes of this workshop are not only tailored to elevate the scientific aptitude of individual participants but also hold the potential to make substantial contributions to addressing health issues at the National, Regional, and Global levels.

We look forward to welcoming participants to IISER Kolkata for this insightful and engaging conference!
