National Conference on Metabolomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics

January 29-30, 2011



Venue: Money Mounta Complex, Near SGPGI, Lucknow
 
First National Conference on Metabolomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics (NCMTP-2011) to be held at Money Mounta Complex, Near SGPGI, Lucknow from January 29th to 30th, 2011.



Today, Metabolomics and Transcriptomics are amongst the most favorite and deeply researched areas of life science. The mRNA expression profiling and the study of small molecules’ metabolite profiles are combined to provide the instantaneous snapshots of physiology of the cell. They have some very important applications in functional genomics, Nutrigenomics and toxicity assessment. Moreover, systems biology and functional genomics are facing the challenge to integrate the wide variety of information from the metabolomics, transcriptomics along with proteomics.


NCMTP-2011 is the first National conference on the Metabolomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics in Lucknow. It will be an opportunity for the National community to exchange ideas and develop a common vision for the future of research & development and healthcare. Contribution to the progress of developing a global Biotechnology and Bioinformatics society will include scientific papers demonstrations, poster Presentation and opinion/future vision papers. The organizing committee have been working to make NCMTP-2011 a truly memorable experience for all participants.


We sincerely hope that you will join us in making NCMTP-2011 a success. On behalf of the organizing committee, I am honored to welcome you to NCMTP-2011.
