Dynamic Microbes: Role in Human Welfare

About the Conference:

Themes of the Conference:

Microorganisms are ancestors of all living forms and support system for all

other forms of life. As a foundation of the biosphere and major

determinants of human health and environment, microbes claim primary

fundamental role in life.

India is facing challenges in various fields such as emergence of multidrug

resistant microbial pathogens, AIDS, biological warfare, sanitation and

health care, biodiversity and sustainable development, plant stress

management, food quality and stability, solid and liquid waste

management etc. Scientific community has taken an initiative to explore

diversity of microorganisms and their potential to tackle these challenges.

This conference aims at discussing development in recent past and

forthcoming promising solutions to these issues. The outcomes from this

conference will guide us to find microbiological solutions on these

problems.

This conference will bring together industry leaders, senior executives and

academicians, students, scientists and government officials to

understand the role of microorganisms in environment and human

welfare. It will exhibit new possibilities, applications and technologies in

investigating role of dynamic microbes in human welfare.
