The Biotech Research Society India (BRSI) organized its Annual Convention as an international conference ‘New Horizons in Biotechnology (NHBT-2023)’ at CSIR-NIIST Thiruvananthapuram, India, from November 26–29, 2023. The convention focused on recent developments in the frontier areas of Biotechnology, particularly Industrial, Environmental & Medical Biotechnology, Energy Biosciences, Environmental, Food & Agriculture.
I feel privileged to attend it as the Vice-President of BRSI and chaired the session on Bioprocesses and Products focussing on recent developments in the area.
Two graduate students from EMB lab, Ms. Saniya Zaidi and Mr. Bibhuti Das, presented their research work at the conference: ‘Targeting the quorum-sensing controlled pathogenicity of P. aeruginosa by termite-nest associated Nocardia sp. EMB27’ and ‘Molecular insights into halocin producing Haloferax larsenii’, respectively. Their work was well received and appreciated. Congratulations to them.
