Scope of the Conference
International Conference on Genome Biology and
Host Defence: Bacteria to Mammals (GBHD-2019) will
showcase and promote application of Next Gen sequencing
and genomics technologies for basic and translational
research in all areas of biology including human genetics,
drug discovery, clinical medicine, biomarkers, diagnostics,
animal, microbial, plant and agricultural sciences. It will
also cover the topics on basic biology and the latest
research on host defence. The conference is aimed at
bringing together leading academic scientists and aspiring
young researchers to exchange and share the most exciting
developments in the fields of biological sciences, genome
biology and host defence. The conference is planned to be
held in Madurai one of the historical temple cities in South
India, during February 27, 28 & March 1, 2019. It is
envisaged that this conference would not only provide a
unique platform to the participants from industries and
academic institutions but also serve the purpose of global
networking among them and help in creating a nucleus of
interface research.
AQUA-TERR
Aqua-Terr In the year 1962, Professors S. Krishnaswamy and
S. V. Job organized an informal club to discuss the latest
advances in the field of Animal Physiology among their
research groups. This entailed discussions of both aquatic
and terrestrial organisms and was known simply as Aqua-
Terr, since 1969, a forum for the students of the SBS to
present their work on Friday of every week. As a testament
to the visionary and pioneering leadership of Prof. S.
Krishnaswamy in the educational and research landscape
of Biology, Aqua-Terr as a research forum has been
constant in providing a valuable open platform for the
students to present and discuss their findings among their
peers, as well as faculty of the SBS. This success was
extended into annual celebrations of Aqua-Terr as a one-
day conference on February 28, the “National Science
Day”, celebrating the discovery of the “Raman effect” by
Nobel laureate Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman
(https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/
1930/). Since 2014, it became a two-day event. Since its
beginning, Aqua-Terr annual conferences have become an
important venue not only for showcasing the SBS research
findings but also for invited speakers to provide new
insights into their respective fields by way of inspiring the
young researchers in Biology. The year 2019 constitutes
the Golden Jubilee year: a milestone for Aqua-Terr. The
"International Conference on Genome Biology and Host
Defence: Bacteria to Mammals" is part of celebrating this
important milestone.
School of Biological Sciences
The School of Biological Sciences (SBS), Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU), has its unique origin in the
early 60's as a postgraduate extension centre of the Department of Zoology, University of Madras at Madurai. The
founder and chief architect of SBS was Prof. S. Krishnaswamy, who later became the Vice-Chancellor of Madurai
Kamaraj University. When the PG extension centre became the Madurai University in 1966 (later Madurai Kamaraj
University), Prof. S. Krishnaswamy, founded the Department of Biological Sciences. Just a decade later, the
Department of Biological Sciences was elevated to School of Biological Sciences on the recommendation of UGC.
Currently, SBS has 8 Departments namely Animal Behaviour & Physiology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Immunology,
Microbial Technology, Molecular Biology, Plant Sciences and Plant Morphology & Algalogy. Since 1972 the UGC has
recognized SBS for continuous support through several levels of assistance such as COSIP, DRS, COSIST, DSA (Phase
I, II and III), Centre of Advances Studies (CAS) in Functional and Organismal Genomics (Phase I, II and III), Centre for
Excellence in Genomics Sciences (CEGS Phae I and II) and Networking Resource Centre in Biological Sciences
(NRCBS) (Phase I and II). The Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India has recognized SBS for
“Interdisciplinary Programme in Life Science for Advanced Research and Education (IPLS) and Department of Science
and Technology (DST) recognized and supported SBS for FIST Programme (2002-2022) (Repeat Cycle I, II & III).
Madurai Kamaraj University
Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU), established in 1966, has 20 Schools comprising 77 Departments, 21
academic centres, 98 affiliated Colleges and 15 Institutions. Madurai Kamaraj University offers 44 PG, 40 M.Phil, 57
Ph.D programmes and 17 Diploma/ P.G Diploma/ Certificate courses in various Departments. University Grants
Commission (UGC), New Delhi has recognized MKU as an “University with a potential for Excellence”.
