The XXXV All India Cell Biology conference and symposium

on

 Membrane dynamics and disease

The XXXV All India Cell Biology conference and symposium on Membrane dynamics and disease aims to bring together many scientists of national and international repute, the students, post-doctorate fellows, young investigators, other academicians and non-academicians to share information on knowledge and scientific research work related to cell biology. A large number of participants (both from India and abroad) is expected to take part in this conference.

In this conference, the thrust areas are membrane dynamics and diseases. Membrane proteins represent nearly one third of the total proteome and understanding of how membrane proteins regulate membrane dynamics and cellular functions are very much limited due to the difficulties associated with studying the membrane proteins. Other focus areas include disease biology, cancer biology, neurobiology, plant biology, developmental biology.

Indian Society of Cell Biology (ISCB) is a part of Asia-Pacific Cell Biology Organization and is the oldest cell-biology forum of India which promotes cell biology education and research in the country. The conference will be held from 16 - 18 December 2011 at National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER). NISER is established by Department of Atomic Energy, Govt. of India, to promote high quality teaching and research in basic sciences.
