International Conference on Biotechnology and Bioinformatics
India - Bangalore City
Hosted by: Century Foundation, Bangalore, India
Venue: Bangalore University Convention Centre
Dates: Sep 18, 2009 through Sep 20, 2009
 
Call for Papers: Aug 10, 2008 - Dec 30, 2008
Event Registration: Aug 10, 2008 - Dec 30, 2008
SCOPE & OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE
The conference objective is to showcase research and development activities in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics:

Research and development in biotechnology requires the collaboration of scientists and engineers in fields such as biology, chemistry, computer science, chemical engineering, and bio engineering. This conference brings together scientists, engineers and scholars from relevant fields with practitioners from industry in order to help each group to understand progress made in the area as a whole.

Biotechnology is emerging as one of the fastest growing sectors of the global economy. Advances fueled by the biotechnology industry will revolutionize health care, agriculture and environmental remediation in the 21st century. Over the last two decades there has been a mushrooming of biotechnology which has affected various aspects of our society.

The rapidly emerging field of bioinformatics promises to lead to advances in understanding basic biological processes and, in turn, advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of many genetic diseases. Bioinformatics has transformed the discipline of biology from a purely lab-based science to an information science as well. Increasingly, biological studies begin with a scientist conducting vast numbers of database and Web site searches to formulate specific hypotheses or to design large-scale experiments. The implications behind this change, for both science and medicine, are staggering.

Over the past few decades, major advances in the field of molecular biology, coupled with advances in genomic technologies, have led to an explosive growth in the biological information generated by the scientific community. This deluge of genomic information has, in turn, led to an absolute requirement for computerized databases to store, organize, and index the data and for specialized tools to view and analyze the data.

CONFERENCE VENUE:
Bangalore University Convention Centre

OFFICIAL LANGUAGE : The official language of the congress will be in English.
