| The Indian Society of Cell Biology (ISCB: www.iscb.org.in) is a very active academic society and has over 700 life and ordinary members. A number of renowned cell biologists from India and abroad will review their work in the Hyderabad, India, meeting. Active researchers will have an opportunity to present their work as posters. ISCB has instituted awards for presentations by students (see below). |
| |
| The conference would be for three days and typically, there are several invited lectures, proffered oral presentations and a large number of poster presentations. Each of the three days has time allotted exclusively for poster sessions. The local organizers have the freedom to decide on specific symposia sessions or to invite speakers of their choice to deliver special lectures. |
| |
| The Society organizes two Endowment lectures, the Prof. S. P. Ray-Chaudhuri 75th Birthday and Dr. J. Das Memorial lectures. These are delivered in alternate years. Nominations for these lectures are invited from members of the ISCB and a selection committee appointed for the purpose identifies the speaker, who is presented with a special plaque and a citation. These lectures are held in high esteem in the community of life scientists in the country. |
| |
| Poster sessions are encouraged at the Cell Biology meetings. The oral presentation sessions typically include about 15-20 proffered papers while there are about 15 invited lectures by established and upcoming younger scientists. A number of prizes are presented at each of the conference to young Ph.D. students for their presentations at the oral and poster presentation sessions. As may be expected, there is tough competition for these prizes. |
| |
| The Society has contributed to growth of cell biology in general in the country by providing a common platform for established as well as young researchers to discuss their research findings and interests and appreciate different systems. The young participants specially benefit from the informal ambiance that prevails at these meetings. Each year, we look forward to the three days of cell biology conferences when we meet old friends and get to know new cell biologists. |
| |
| We look forward to active participation of ISCB members in the meeting. Non-members are welcome to participate after becoming members. We sincerely hope that students and young faculty from Indian and elsewhere will take advantage of this event. |
