IndiaBiostreams

IndiaBiostreams, webinars by IndiaBioscience, was launched on June 20, 2019. It serves as a virtual broadcasting platform for science communication and outreach. It aims to create awareness and educate the community on relevant topics. It serves as a medium to offer training and mentorship to the life science community on much-needed skills such as grantsmanship, professional development, communication etc. It also serves as a platform to host stakeholder debates on pertinent issues to ultimately inform science policy. It is also a potent channel for funding agencies to articulate their programs, opportunities and activities. IndiaBiostreams is distributed via our channel on YouTube.
