On January 10, 2023, the Amity Institute of Biotechnology and Amity Institute of Integrative Sciences and Health organized a symposium entitled "A Day with Excellence in Science." The session's programme organizers were Dr. Anurag Sharma (AP-III), AUH, and Prof. Rajendra Prasad (Director AIB, AIISH).
The session's invited speakers were Prof. Animesh Ray, Professor, Riggs School of Applied Life Sciences,Keck Graduate Institute, Claremont, USA; Prof. Andrew M. Lynn, Professor, JNU, Delhi; Dr. Ravi Datta Sharma, Associate Professor, AUH; Prof. Seyed Ehtesham Hasnain, Professor, IITD Delhi; Prof. Sneh Lata, Professor, JNU, Delhi; Dr. Krishna Murari Sinha, Associate Professor, AUH; Dr. Nitai Debnath, Associate Professor, AUH; Prof. K Natarajan, Professor, JNU, Delhi; Dr. Ujjaini Dasgupta, Associate Professor, AUH, and Dr. Gargi Bagchi, Associate Professor, AUH.
A brief summary of the academic programmes, research infrastructure, and financing for research offered by AIB, AIISH, and AUH was provided by Prof. Rajendra Prasad from AUH. He also provided an overview of his groundbreaking studies on the clinical drug resistance to antifungal agents. Breaking the main dogma of molecular biology was the topic of Animesh Ray's briefing from the Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont, California. His research centred on using biomolecule secondary structures to predict antigen-antibody interactions computationally. Modeling sequence evolution in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and its implications for immune evasion and vaccine development were discussed by Andrew M. Lynn from JNU, Delhi. The speaker, Ravi Datta Sharma from Amity University Haryana in Gurugram, discussed the estimation of the quantity and concentration of transcriptional biomarkers based on alternative splicing in eucaryotic systems. PadamshreeSeyed The audience was informed about moonlighting and other clever traits of the TB bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Ehtesham Hasnain from IITD. An introduction to Candida albicans' unfolded protein response framework was given by Sneh Lata of JNU, Delhi. The audience was enlightened on Cyclic di-AMP mediated DNA damage repair and genomic stability in Mycobacterium by Krishna Murari Sinha of Amity University Haryana. Nitai Debnath from Amity University Haryana, Gurugram, developed nanoparticles for a massive change in agriculture under the heading of "Science of Little Things." Speaking about new regulatory networks governing melanogenesis discovered by chemo-genomic profiling, K Natarajan from JNU, Delhi captivated the audience. A metabolic-signaling-gene regulation circuit that offers several nodes for therapeutic interventions aimed at tumour growth was explained by Ujjaini Dasgupta from Amity University Haryana, Gurugram. The research on sly signalling lanes utilised by trespassers to circumvent androgen blockage in prostate cancer was presented by Gargi Bagchi of Amity University Haryana.
Several seasoned researchers and developers from institutes in India and beyond gathered for a day of excellence in science. They are all accomplished researchers with a wealth of patents and publications in reputable journals. The conference provided as a venue for the presentation of recent findings from research in several sectors of biological sciences. The idea was to bring together a large number of seasoned Research and Development specialists from institutes in India and abroad who are knowledgeable about working in their particular research fields and have a significant body of patents and publications in reputable journals. This scientific conference's major goal was to provide academics and students at AUH with a venue for the presentation of recent findings from research in a variety of subjects. The conference also provided an opportunity for the invited scholars and AUH professors to collaborate, with the goal of long-term knowledge exchange and debates on highly pertinent and topical topics.
A regular forum for the dissemination of recent findings from research in a range of biological sciences fields, as well as a location for fostering academic relationships with invited guests, with the aim of long-term knowledge exchange and discussions on hot-button issues in the life sciences and biotechnology.
