October 18-20, 2002
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India
IIT Bombay from Oct 18-20, 2002 organized THE FIRST INDIAN SYMPOSIUM OF THE PROTEIN SOCIETY on “Protein structure and function”. The meeting was held on the picturesque IIT Bombay campus, overlooking the Powai Lake.
Dr.
Manju Sharma, Secretary, Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, inaugurated
the symposium. The purpose of the First Indian symposium of the Protein Society
was to present timely and significant research results in areas related to
protein structure and functions. Forty-two speakers including 23 foreign
speakers delivered talks on various aspects of protein sciences. In addition,
76 posters were presented during the 3-day symposium. The symposium covered
five distinct themes: de novo protein design, protein structure and folding;
disease arising from mis-folding and aggregation; membranes and membrane
proteins; cytoskeleton organization dynamics and diseased state. The meeting
was well attended by students and scientists from all over India. Importantly,
a general sentiment has been expressed that this symposium will help to
increase the interaction among the protein scientists that will make an impact
on Indian Science specifically on
protein science.
