CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad, with Proteomics Society of India (PSI) co-organised OMICS 2021, an international meeting themed on ‘Omics redefining modern biology’ in the last three days that ended on Saturday.
The meeting discussed tools in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics to study genomes, RNA, protein, lipid and metabolite expression profiles on a large scale. These technologies aid life scientists to address finer details of a living cell’s structure and functioning. This has promising applications in healthcare, agriculture and animal biotechnology.
About 35 subject experts across eight countries from academia and industry participated in the discussions with around 300 attendees over the three days. “PSI has always prioritised education of young scientists in India to keep them updated with the fast-evolving technologies in the field of proteomics,” said PSI president Dr. Subhra Chakraborty.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
