Computational drug designing is an inter-disciplinary area. In recent years the in-silico drug designing has emerged as a prominent field of research and has advanced rapidly with collaboration among the fields of chemistry, biology, and computer sciences. IIIT Allahabad has been working on drug designing and discovery for the last few years and is recognized internationally for published research. This course is designed for teachers, scientists, industry professionals, and students from the science & engineering educational institutes and industries. This workshop aims to impart essential knowledge of computational drug design & discovery to the participants.

2-day cloud-based hands-on workshop targeting structure-based drug designing and MD simulations. Participants will get practical experience and in-person guidance in using the Maestro GUI, covering the organic molecule sketching, protein selection, preparation, and screening for hit identification of molecules against therapeutic targets. The workshop will also include a brief recap of background theory for Molecular mechanics, CADD, Structure-based drug design approaches via case studies on the real-time industrial projects.

An online self-sponsored short term certificate course on “Nanoinformatics for Biomedical Applications (NBA- 2021)” is going to be organized by the Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIIT-Allahabad) from 27-29th August, 2021. NBA-2021 aims to bring eminent experts from the field of Nanotechnology in order to showcase the recent progress and innovation in the allied areas of Nanotechnology involving the development of novel therapeutic agents and diagnostic methods. Nanotechnology flourishes greatly due to its association with the Information technology. The combination of Material sciences and Information technology provides a great opportunity to explore how quantum-effect varies with size and structural features of nanomaterials that are responsible for unique optical, chemical, and biological properties of nanomaterials. This also helps in understanding the interactions of nanomaterial with complex living systems and role of dimensionality in cellular responses. Thus, an insightful understanding of basic principles of Material sciences with help of Information technology provides huge scope for nanotechnology based drug designing and therapeutic strategies essential for the betterment of human healthcare. The lectures and hands-on-trainings in NBA-2021 will cover basic features of Nanoinformatics and its applications in numerous biomedical fields.

Medical imaging is a multi-disciplinary research field. We have observed tremendous progress in medical imaging as technology continues to advance at a rapid rate. This has even got huge momentum due to crosstalk among various research fields like biotechnology, nanotechnology, biomedical, electronics, instrumentation, computer science and information technology making biomedical imaging as one of the most happening research fields. New research outcomes are emerging out every day from international and national laboratories which may offer better preventative solutions. There are several research groups in India who are very active in this field- solving many brainstorming problems as well as addressing various socially relevant clinical issues. The aim of this workshop is to bring young researchers from various institutes under a common platform where they will be able to present their work as well as get an opportunity to listen to the senior delegates of this field. They will also become aware of current research activities pursuing by leading groups and challenges in this field.

Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIITA) located in Jhalwa, Allahabad, UP, India was established in 1999, as a center of excellence in Information Technology and allied areas and is an institute of national importance by the act of parliament

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.

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.
