Conference | Hands on Training | Education Day on Proteomics Research at CCMB , Hyderabad

About the Event

Proteomics has emerged as an important discipline to understand the function of genes, in terms of proteins that maintain normal cellular functions and so the human health. New Proteomics technologies/approaches for the study of protein dynamics are continuously evolving. With a range of potential applications of Proteomics, from basic biology to drug target discovery or discovery of diagnostic biomarkers, there is exponential growth of information. Yet, the technologies offer a challenge for their optimal use in a given biological context.

The AOHUPO (Asia Oceania Human Proteome Organization) is dedicated to fostering proteomic initiatives and efforts internationally and regionally. AOHUPO organizes biannual Proteomics Conference in the AO region. ADNAT (Association for the Promotion of DNA Finger Printing and Associated DNA Technologies) is an Indian organization managed by scientists and science thinkers from various biology disciplines, is recognized for its Annual Conventions, in India, on Contemporary Topics in Biology and associated Hands-on Training Program. It has chosen Proteomics as the theme chosen for its 2010 Meeting. Proteomics Society, India is a recently formed forum of the Indian Proteomics community that has fast grown to a critical size in recent years. It plans to pursue a strong mandate for promoting education and research in Proteomics in India through educational workshops, discussions and collaborative interactions. It is a relational Society under AOHUPO. It is with this synergy, the three organizations are jointly hosting this event.

The joint event will bring in world experts to share their experiences, regional and Indian scientists to show-case their efforts in Proteomic research and exchange ideas, and young research students to update with the current advances and the fascinating potential of Proteomics Research.
