The University of Lucknow is currently hosting the 30th annual Indian Society of Biological Chemists (ISBC) conference, jointly organised by the ISBC and the Department of Chemistry, LU. This three-day conference was kicked off on Monday. This milestone event celebrated three decades since the conference's inception in Lucknow in 1995, with subsequent editions held in various cities across India.

The conference brings together eminent researchers and scientists from around the globe to exchange ideas and promote collaborative research in the interdisciplinary fields of biology, chemistry, and medicine. The event serves as a platform for fostering innovation and advancing knowledge in these critical areas.

On the inaugural day of the conference, the integration of ancient Indian medicine, particularly Ayurveda, into modern healthcare systems emerged as a key focus of discussion. Experts also explored the potential of incorporating cutting-edge molecular biology techniques to revolutionize healthcare practices.

The Indian Society of Biological Chemists (ISBC), established in 1995, plays a pivotal role in fostering multidisciplinary research and collaboration. The organization aims to provide a common platform for scientists and researchers to enhance cooperation and coordination across disciplines. It also strives to inspire the younger generation to pursue interdisciplinary approaches, promote awareness of advancements in frontier areas of science and organize symposia, conferences, and special lectures across diverse scientific fields.
