The annual Young Investigators’ Meeting (YIM) brings together exceptional young investigators and senior scientists, heads of institutions, and representatives from funding agencies for interactions focusing on life science careers, mentoring and networking.
YIM 2024 will feature mentor talks by renowned scientists, special talks on a range of science topics, poster sessions, interactive workshops, icebreaker sessions, round table discussions and networking events. Encompassing a wide range of subjects and issues, these sessions will focus on starting and building an independent research career in India, contemporary conversations on science funding in India, international funding opportunities for life scientists in India, science education, communication and outreach, and curated workshops on science journalism and research ethics.
Every year, the YIM is organised by a different committee of young faculty members from institutions across India along with Team IndiaBioscience. IndiaBioscience also plays an administrative and advisory role in each year’s YIM.
The advisory board for YIM 2024 comprises LS Shashidhara (NCBS), Rashna Bhandari (CDFD), Ron Vale (Janelia Research Campus, HHMI), Roop Mallik (IIT Bombay) and Satyajit Mayor (NCBS).
