The new concept in Indian Science focuses on promoting interdisciplinary teaching and research catering to the need of modern day science. To groom the future scientists in cross disciplinary barriers, we need to expose the students to the frontline areas of research. With this objective in mind, we are organizing a one and half day symposium on Frontiers in Modern Biology on 26th -27th February 2011.

        The theme of the proposed symposium is very broad and we have included eminent scientists from various fields including neurobiology, molecular virology & drug delivery, microbiology & cell biology, structural biology, ecology, and wild life biology and conservation. These upcoming areas in biological research are important both for human health and national development and should be propagated among the students and faculties.

        We hope that both the faculty and students would gain in various avenues including advancement of their scientific knowledge. We propose to have ample time between the talks and in the poster session to promote leisure as well as one to one productive scientific discussions. The students/young investigators would learn about the frontline areas of the biological research and would get an opportunity to show case their research work in the poster session.
