From Genotype to Phenotype: Computational Approaches to Understand Biological Systems
Through this symposium, we seek to bring together biologists, engineers and data scientists, to cross-fertilise ideas and initiate collaborations in various domains of biological data analysis. A key focus of the symposium will be on novel methods and algorithms to dissect omics data at multiple levels, enabling a deeper understanding of complex phenotypes. The symposium seeks to bring together about 15 leading scientists from India and abroad, as well as provide an opportunity for up to 60 early career researchers to participate. We have planned sufficient time for discussions and networking during the event. The venue, IIT Madras, is the top-ranked engineering institute in the country. The campus is situated in the heart of a busy metropolis, Chennai, but boasts of hundreds of acres of forests, which are also home to a variety of birds and animals, including the endangered black buck.
