Disease has become a common feature for human existence since the beginning of time. Over time, our knowledge of Science and Medicine has been expanded for a better understanding of the biological basis of any disease. Since, the last few decades, an extensive research has been going on the molecular pathogenesis of diseases. By developing a deep understanding of molecular pathogenesis, we will uncover the involvement of specific genes, proteins, and corresponding pathways to get better equipped for the development of targeted therapies for specific diseases. Continued development of our knowledge for deciphering underlying mechanisms of the disease has resulted in the development of a new era of Theranostics. Theranostics provides a targeted, safe, specific, and cost-effective treatment protocol. The proteomics, pharmacogenetics, and biomarker analysis make the backbone of theranostics. The role of theranostics is highly appreciated in the area of oncology where the nano-formulations like metallic nanoparticles, quantum dots, and carbon nanotubes, dendrimers liposomes play a pivotal role. Therefore, theranostics is a holistic transition from trial and error medicine to preventive, predictive, and personalised medicine for better treatment of diseases.

Wireless Networks and Internet of Things (IoT) form the backbone to create pervasive and ubiquitous applications thus are important to the research community. The wireless technologies such as IEEE standards, and Internet of Things (loT) would encompass a wide range of domains such as hardware devices, MAC algorithms, routing protocols, integration of heterogeneous elements, energy efficiency and reliability etc. This self-finance course will enable the participants to learn about the wireless networks and loT protocols. During the hand on sessions, the participants will be engaged in application development based on the technology explained in the lecture sessions. This self-financed short term course will he highly beneficial for the participants who are looking for their career in the wireless domain and automation.

An online self-sponsored workshop is designed to provide the theoretical background as well as a hands-on approach to Sequence alignment, Virtual screening, and molecular dynamics. The workshop aims to familiarize the participants with the basic concepts of bioinformatics and Structure based drug designing. Here, we’ll comprehend the use of different software and methods used for the computational drug design.

Innovation Management is gradually becoming very significant in various areas of business. Innovative start-ups and new enterprises act as a catalyst for the economy. Novel opportunities and market gaps are identified and resources are allocated to them to produce something new and useful.

The rapid advancement in the VLSI technology and system integration have made possible to design chips with more than billion transistors. A specialized one month summer training program from 7th June to 4 th July 2021 has been scheduled at IIIT-A. This training program will cover analog and digital integrated circuit design using commercial technology kits and simulation tools along with exposure to fabrication methods and PCB design. The experts from Industry and academia shall be providing the training to the registered applicants.

An online self-sponsored short term certificate course on “Analytical techniques to study from biomolecules to tissues (ATSBT-2021)” is going to be organized by the Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIIT-Allahabad) from 2-4 th July, 2021. Modern analytical biotechnology focuses on the development of various platform technologies that can provide advanced state-of-the-art tools for genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and drug discovery. It is dedicated to characterize various cellular components (e.g. nucleotides, proteins, and small metabolites) and tissues for diagnosis and prognosis of any disease. Thus, this domain of science emphases on technology development by promoting inter-disciplinary approaches. The purpose of this course is to discuss the fundamental principles and practical uses of major instrumental techniques in order to solve key problems in biology and medicine.

Network programming involves writing programs which can communicate over the network. Network application requires a server and multiple clients to extend a specific service to the clients over the network like chat application, file transfer, remote desktop access, etc. In the short term course, the aim is to train the participant and make them capable of creating innovative client – server applications. The aim of the course is to create the skill set among the participants so that they can implement a network application.

Behavioural finance is an emerging area of study which considers the theories based on psychology to elucidate the anomalies in the financial market. Of late there are lots of researches happening in the field of behavioural finance. The development of technology has made accessible information for the general public. Any information is available to the investors at a relatively faster rate than ever before. With the advent of online trading, the volume and value of transactions in the stock market have increased tremendously. The investor is now more active as well as reactive. In this backdrop, it is strongly felt the need to get answers to some questions regarding the behaviour of the stock market and the investors. The natural conclusion is that it will lead to study and research in the field of behavioural finance.
