The National Research Scholars Meet (NRSM) in Life Sciences, previously known as Graduate Students Meet (GSM), is an annual event organized by the graduate student fraternity of Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research & Education in Cancer (ACTREC).
The Meet is solely organized by the students and for the students. The idea of organizing such a unique meeting was first conceptualized in 2005 and since then this event has successfully garnered popularity and prestige among the student community from diverse fields of biological sciences. The conference is now stepping into its 14th year. This year, through the motto “Envision, Innovate, Translate”, NRSM aims to follow an idea’s journey from its inception to its application.
It is an excellent opportunity for young researchers to share their research experiences and ideas. We would like to invite all enthusiastic and motivated graduate and post-doctoral students to participate in NRSM 2018.

Training Theme
Impressive progress has been made in the field of Next Generation Sequencing technologies, and the power of high–throughput NGS platforms are being harnessed by researchers to address an increasingly diverse range of biological problems. Role of bioinformatics is getting bigger and bigger in management and analysis of the enormous amount of biological data generated through research globally. Recent genome studies have shown that 50-80 % of most eukaryotic genomes composed of Transposable Elements or Mobile DNA. Due to repetitive nature of these elements, genome assembly become challenging. In this workshop we will resolve some of the problems of genome assembly and annotation.
Objectives
Target Audience
Students, faculty and scientists from academics and industries including Life Sciences, Computer Science, Medicine, Agricultural Science, Environmental Science etc., are encouraged to participate in this event.

]]>The theme of the conference “Genome Biology in Health and Disease” is multidisciplinary which requires interaction among multiple domains of research in order to dissect, decipher and discover intricacies of genome to understand disease states and to provide adequate solutions to all life forms.
In order to achieve this goal, the need for integration of interdisciplinary subjects become all the more important. Through series of key note lectures, invited talks, award lectures, technical program speakers, young scientist lectures, poster sessions and many more, the conference aims to provide an excellent opportunity for both academic and industrial communities to address the trends and challenges, showcase discoveries and emerging technologies to a wide range of audience. The program of the SBC(I) 2018 Conference intends to foster interaction among participants in order to pave way for future collaboration and cooperation. Researchers who are engaged in basic, applied and translational research in the domains Biological Chemistry and Genomic Biology of life sciences are welcome to participate in the conference.

Research on Chromosome–Chromatin biology has gained tremendous impetus in recent years. Discovery of different chromatin modifying enzymes, remodeling machineries and high resolution nucleosome structure has enabled us to get deep insight of mechanisms underlying epigenetic phenomenon.
Understanding of chromatin dynamics in the context of the entire DNA templated phenomenon has become essential to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of these processes. Furthermore, the steadily increasing literature clearly suggests a strong connection between chromatin and various diseases. In India, different groups have initiated front-line research activities in this area. Over the past 14 years this forum is helping to develop collaborative research activities and perform better internationally. Keeping this in mind we are organizing the “7th Meeting of the Asian Forum of Chromosome and Chromatin Biology ” meeting this year. This meeting covers the following research areas:
1. Epigenetic regulation of memory and neurodegenerative disorders
2. Transcription Regulation through chromatin modifications and remodeling
3. Chromatin and Disease
4. Biophysics & Nanobiology of Chromatin
5. Chromatin Biology and Differentiation processes
Apart from several active scientists from India, renowned international scientists are also participating in the meeting. A successful completion of the present effort would definitely create a better scientific environment for Chromosome-Chromatin research in this part of the globe.

Aim of this meeting will be to bring together scientists from different fields of biology across different parts of the country having the common goal of ‘understanding the properties of cells and its dynamics’.
We are aiming to create a platform for biologists, to have the opportunity of listening to various interesting discoveries in the field and, sharing results and ideas. Hope that this meeting will bridge people to initiate new collaborations. Sessions on cell biology education, what a career in cell biology means, scientific writing and ethics are also planned. Corporate sector that helps cell biology research by manufacturing/distributing equipment and resources will play an active part in showcasing their latest products.

Among the few identified global threats of the twenty-first century, antimicrobial resistance holds the pivotal position. Antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly severe threat to the community, health and the environment surrounding us. Therefore, developing new drug molecules, introducing combination therapy, repurposing of already existing drugs, adding new and useful drug delivery systems are the major priorities of the upcoming decades. Also, it is necessary to educate general people and some of the community healthcare professionals through awareness programs about the pros and cons of the indiscriminate use of antimicrobials to prevent the drug abuse and misuse, which might render an adverse effect on future antimicrobial therapy.
However, the matter needs discussion in a global forum where the present problem of antimicrobial chemotherapy is addressed with particular emphasis on the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, it is necessary to mention that the future of antimicrobial chemotherapy depends on the possible new antimicrobial targets, agents and diagnostic / detection tools for resistant microorganisms. Furthermore, the immediate requirement is to know how to handle
these resistant microorganisms clinically so that the average life expectancy can at least be maintained, if not increased.
