The Symposium

We bring biomedical scientists, computational biologists, and data scientists to present and discuss the latest developments in various omics technologies transforming clinical and translational research. A key focus will be novel techniques, methods and algorithms to dissect omics data at multiple levels, enabling a deeper understanding of complex human diseases.

The Symposium seeks to bring together leading scientists from India and abroad and provide an opportunity for early career researchers to participate.

Organisers

  • Himanshu Sinha, IIT Madras
  • Manikandan Narayanan, IIT Madras
  • Karthik Raman, IIT Madras
