Life Sciences & Biotechnology

The Biennial meeting of the Indian Society of Developmental Biologists (InSDB) is a popular event that is attended by a large number of developmental biologists from across India.

This two-week immersion course will introduce the students to some of the most exciting developments in the area of Synthetic Biology and advanced techniques involved in genome engineering and building metabolic pathways through didactic lectures and hands-on sessions.

The objectives of the Workshop includes sensitisation of Bio-Statistical concepts, introduction of statistical tools/software for data analysis, and develop skills in data analysis.

The scope of workshop includes advances and challenges in breast imaging techniques.

The scope of workshop includes demonstration cum hands on training in Exome/Transcriptome Library preparation, quantification & pooling of libraries for Next Gen Sequencing on HiSeq/MiSeq, and Bioinformatic analysis

The scope of workshop includes PCR trouble shooting, Genotyping with CSGE, RFLP, TaqMan and its validation, Sanger sequencing with troubleshooting, MLPA analysis, Bioinformatic analysis, Drafting reports of genetic test, and Functional Genomics.

The scope of workshop includes principles of counselling, syndrome identification and work up, pre-test & post test counselling, family counselling, VUS counselling, management of mutation carriers with screening, chemoprevention & prophylactic surgery.

The symposium is focused on the influence of proteogenomics in expanding the landscape of druggable genome, going beyond the low hanging fruits/conventional targets, and the power of biophysics and structural bioinformatics in taming the unconventional targets.

In ICGC 2018, leading experts from India, USA, UK, Europe, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia & Middle East will discuss various basic, translational and clinical aspects of Cancer Genetics and Genomics covering common & rare syndromes. Techniques, approaches and interpretation of genetic testing and issues in genetic counselling and risk management of mutation carriers will be discussed.
