1st International Meet On Advance Studies in Cell Signalling Network


1st International Meet On Advance Studies in Cell Signalling Network
Cell signaling is vast area involving cell growth, proliferation, development, apoptosis and homestasis as well. It is vital and fundamental research approach in the field of today’s translational research especially in biomedical research.
The main goal of the CESIN meet is to bring together the basic and clinical leading experts from India and overseas in Cell Signaling area to create serious interest in research to young scholars and scientists.
The need is basically to guide Ph.D. students of Eastern Zone of India and few students from other parts of India; properly in future direction.
OBJECTIVES:
The conference will highlight some of the promising research topic:
i) Origin and evolution of cell signaling ( prokaryote, plant, eukaryote, mitochondria, membrane, signalosome)
ii) Analysis of cell signaling (imaging, mass-spectrometry, enzymology, omics -biology, epigenetic and post-translational modification)
iii) Signaling network in medicine and personalized medicine and
iv) Modeling of signal transduction network (in silico, mathematical application, system biology).
Translational signalosome and current status of signal transduction in drug discovery and disease diagnosis will also be focused.
The major concern is the active participation of graduate scholar and young researcher, who will be interacting with experienced scientist during 3 day conference. The talks will be more elaborate(i.e. approx. 45 min to 1 hr.); so that students get more opportunity to interact with expert scientist in respective field.
If  proposal comes, we may think for morning school for 1 hr. on basic subjects area or writing style for grant or research article.
