The recent Frontiers in Biomolecular Interactions symposium, organized by Dr. Sunita Srivastava, hosted at the esteemed IIT Bombay and generously funded by IoE-SCPP, brought together the brightest minds in the field for an engaging exploration of polymers, membranes, and soft matter physics. Let's dive into the remarkable highlights that unfolded during this two-day event.
Navigating the Complexities of Membranes
The symposium kicked off with the fascinating realms of membranes. From elucidating the dynamics of membrane-protein interactions to exploring the self-assembly properties of soft materials, each session offered a glimpse into the cutting-edge research shaping the future of biomolecular interactions. Participants were captivated by the diverse perspectives shared, sparking new ideas and collaborations. Talks were delivered by eminent researchers like W.H. Roos (University of Groningen), G. Ayappa (IISc Bangalore), J. Basu (IISc Bangalore), our very own Prof. A. Sain (IITB) and more.
Unraveling the Mysteries of Polymers
The symposium delved into a series of riveting discussions on the intricate world of polymers. Renowned experts, including the esteemed Miho Tagawa (Nagoya University), Dhiraj Bhatia (IITGN), Arnab Mukherjee (IISER Pune) - shared groundbreaking research on the behavior and applications of polymers in biological systems. Attendees were enthralled by the cutting-edge insights presented, shedding light on the role of polymers in drug delivery and beyond.
Key Takeaways and Future Prospects
As the symposium drew to a close, attendees were left inspired and invigorated by the breadth of knowledge shared during the event. The Frontiers in Biomolecular Interactions symposium not only highlighted the latest advancements in the field but also paved the way for future innovations and discoveries. The synergy of ideas and expertise exchanged at IIT Bombay promises to drive meaningful progress in the realm of biomolecular interactions.
