The Symposium

During the 3-day meeting, we will discuss microbial omics approaches associated with human, gut, and environment where computational advancements have been made to analyze biological "big data". Microbial omics and its translational aspects will be correlated with new biotechnological discovery. In addition, renowned scientists will be presenting how the microbial omics technologies are enabling for the safe exploration of future space missions with respect to astrobiology and planetary protection.

The study of microbial communities or microbiomes has widespread applications, from human health, agriculture and animal husbandry to waste treatment, bioremediation and environmental health. We foresee that a critical emerging technology is the ability to model and engineer microbiomes and leverage their extraordinarily diverse functional capacities to find solutions for many of the challenges that we face, from eliminating childhood malnutrition to degrading plastics, to exploring other planets.

Through this mini-symposium, we seek to bring leading scientists from India and abroad and to present their recent findings, and discuss important directions and ideas for fostering a strong microbiome community in India. There is also an opportunity for early career researchers to actively participate and contribute.

About IBSE

The Centre for Integrative Biology and Systems medicinE (IBSE), a CoE, at IIT Madras is an interdisciplinary centre dedicated to pioneering innovative approaches and algorithms that integrate multi-dimensional data across scales, to understand, predict and manipulate complex biological systems. The centre closely collaborates with Robert Bosch Centre for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (RBCDSAI), one of the premier data science and AI centres in India.

The main sponsor, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, is the top-ranked engineering institute in the country; and encourages interdisciplinary research at the interface of engineering, including computer science and biomedicine. While being situated in the heart of a busy metropolis, Chennai, the campus boasts hundreds of acres of forests, which are also home to various birds and animals, including the endangered blackbuck.

Funding

IBSE is grateful to Dr. Prakash Arunachalam, Lead Data Scientist, BNY Mellon, USA, for his generous contribution supporting the IBSE and funding the IBSE International Symposia and various other IBSE activities through the Office of Alumni and Corporate Relations, IIT Madras.
