The first IBSE International Symposium was organised from 22-24th January 2018, at the IC&SR Auditorium, IIT Madras. Preceding the symposium, student participants were trained and challenged to perform next-generation sequence analyses as part of a day long workshop conducted by Rohit Gupta (MedGenome Labs). The symposium was inaugurated by Prof. Bhaskar Ramamurthi (Director, IITM) who pointed out the importance of this symposium to not only usher in a transition from genotype to phenotype but eventually also to actionable prototypes, and Prof.
Open Positions Applications are invited for two Junior Research Fellow (JRF) positions in a project funded by the Department of Biotechnology at the Computational Systems Biology Lab, IIT Madras. PhD applications are also welcome Apply at https://research.iitm.ac.in/ to one of the following departments: (a) Interdisciplinary Stream on “Data Science and Artificial Intelligence” (b) Biotechnology © Chemical Engineering (d) Computer Science Project The burgeoning amounts of cancer genome data have opened several avenues for computational analysis of these sequences to gain insights into disease associations of genes, as well as the molecular bases of diseases.

The first talk of the IBSE seminar series will be delivered by Prof. Victor de Lorenzo. The title of the talk is “What transcriptional noise tells us about the cell inside”. Prof. Victor de Lorenzo currently works at Systems Biology Program, Centro Nacional de Biotecnologia, CSIC, C/ Darwin, 3 (Campus de Cantoblanco), Madrid 28049, Spain. Abstract Transcriptional noise is a necessary consequence of the molecular events that drive gene expression in prokaryotes.
Recent work from IBSE was featured in The Hindu Business Line. This article refers to the recent paper published by Karthik Raman and Sayan Ranu, in Bioinformatics.

The first lecture of the IBSE Colloquium Series will be held on 3rd November, 2017. Prof. Victor de Lorenzo has kindly agreed to be the first speaker of this seminar series. Prof. de Lorenzo is an eminent scientist in the area of synthetic biology / environmental engineering, and his group has pioneered research using Pseudomonas putida for several biotechnological applications.
Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions (RBEI) and IIT Madras today signed an MoU for establishing the Robert Bosch Centre for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (RBC-DSAI). RBC-DSAI will undertake foundational research in various areas of AI and Data Science. IBSE / systems biology research has been a strong vertical at the erstwhile Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Data Sciences (ILDS); we hope this will give further fillip to IBSE activities!
