Scientific Programme

Theme of the Conference:

The Mission of health professionals is to respond to ever-changing priorities and advancements in science world. Advancement in Genetics and Molecular Biology impact society in numerous ways. Translating these into diagnostics has immense scope in providing better health services, hence this conference aims to have some insight into the role of Genetics and molecular screening in health and disease. The conference will highlight the translation of the current knowledge in Genetics and Molecular Biology for individualizing clinical medicine, to provide the most appropriate health-care.

This 2-day conference and The preconference Work Shops will (i) provide a functional interactive platform for clinicians, researchers, laboratory personnel, counselors and most importantly UG and PG medical students as well as faculty of Medical colleges.

The conference will be focusing on genetic and molecular screening of: CANCER, NEO-NATAL & PAEDIATRIC GENETICS, GYNAECOLOGY AND ANTENATAL, COMPLEX DISEASES
