ADVISORY BOARD :
ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUMChemical biology is the understanding of biological phenomena using chemical tools and its applications in
therapeutics. The origin of modern chemical biology probably lies in using small molecules to study biology from integrative point of view. The chemical biology has long history in India; the Indian Institute of Chemical Biology was established by Prof. B. K. Bachhawat in 1982. Recently Chemical Biology Society of India was established in 2013; Prof. Siddaratha Roy is the founder president. The newly born society has been formally recognized by the International Chemical Biology Society (ICBS). Indian chemical biology community is gearing up to study complex biological networks will be an essential component of modern chemical and biological research. In the beginning, the Chemical Biology Society of India focused its research mandate in the areas like Enzyme/protein-small molecule interactions, chemical genomics and discovery of new drugs, DNA topology and nano structures, nano materials and drug delivery, peptides, peptidomics and cyclotides, targeting miRNA, chemical biology and epigenetic etc.
Chemical biology is one of the most challenging and complex endeavors for academicians at Universities, Research Institutions and Pharma scientists. The best rational approach to achieve this complex biological networkprogramme is through collaborative research between Universities, Research Institutions, pharmaceutical industries and government agencies. University of Mysore made a steady progress in identifying and characterizing new molecules of therapeutic importance. Recognizing the overall contributions made by the University of Mysore, Ministry of Human Resource and Development, New Delhi, identified this University as Institution of Excellence and awarded rupees 100 crores. University Grant Commission, New Delhi, recently considered University of Mysore as University Potential for Excellence and awarded rupees 50 crores. Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi, awarded rupees 7 crores under the programme Promotion of University Research and Scientific Excellence to boost our research activities. With all these recognitions University research activities is very vibrant and motivated to achieve excellence. Chemical Biology helps in understanding molecular basis of life and disease, and there is a growing interest in this subject world-wide. The main Chemistry subject is in crossroads with various life science disciplines like Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Botany, Zoology along with Commerce and Management Sciences and demands multidisciplinary collaboration. The early research contribution made by Chemistry Department in the field of biological sciences is very significant and lead to the genesis of several new life science departments such as Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Bioscience and Molecular Biology. Now each Department has contributed immensely in understanding the various aspects of life and diseases. Recognizing these many new departments are supported by DST-FIST and UGC-SAP programmes. The success is because of multidisciplinary interaction among life science subjects.This symposium on the theme “International Symposium on Chemical Biology Approach to Metabiomics, Chemical genomics and Epigenomics and second Annual Meeting of Chemical Biology Society, India.” will provide an excellent platform to interact with scientists from various research areas to come together in a collaborative effort to conquer health complications, to inspire creative young minds in perusing research in interdisciplinary research science of collaboration and provide a chemical biologist of India globally visible vibrant platform form becoming connected with their overseas peers.

The University of Mysore was established on 27th July, 1916 during the benevolent reign of the Maharaja of Mysore, His Highness Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar (1884-1940). The genesis of the University of Mysore stems from a five year long in-depth reading and analysis on higher education across the globe. The mission of the University of Mysore, laid down in the 1916 regulations published in the Mysore Gazette Extraordinary, aims at 'promoting teaching and research in conventional and traditional domains of Arts, Humanities, Pure and Applied Sciences and Professional disciplines'. Sir M Visvesvaraya (1860-1962) played a decisive role in the launch of the University. The University, since then, has gone through different phases of development. Started with just two faculties, namely Arts and Science offering BA, BSc, BCom and B.Tech courses, the University added Engineering faculty in 1917, MA programs at Maharaja's College, Mysore. In 1918, MSc program at Central College, Bangalore in 1919 and the faculty of Medicine in Mysore during1924 , thus laying a firm foundation for the multi-faculty character of the university. In 1941, new courses leading to BA honours were added
During the post-independent period, from 1947-1960, the University enacted new Act of 1956 which ushered in academic autonomy. It also facilitated the introduction of PreUniversity System of education by abolishing intermediate courses. With the support of the University Grants Commission (UGC), which came into existence in 1956, post-graduate education was expanded significantly. In 1960, a major development was the conglomeration of all the post-graduate studies of the University at one location during the tenure of the ViceChancellorship of Dr. K.V. Puttappa. This location was christened "Manasagangotri" meaning ̀ eternal spring of the mind' adjacent to Kukkarahalli lake within the heart of the heritage city of Mysore in a picturesque area of 739 acres. The year 1966 was commemorated as the Golden Jubilee year and a corpus fund of Rs 2.85 crores was instituted for awards and prizes under various categories.
Today the University has 45 Postgraduate Departments at the Main Campus, Manasagangotri, 2 Postgraduate Centres, viz., Tubinakere, Mandya, Hemagangotri, Hassan with 5 Postgraduate Departments each and one Satellite Centre at Chamarajanagar with 3 Postgraduate Departments. It is providing higher education to about 85 lakhs students, of which over 10,000 are Postgraduates. As many as 1600 students are from 50 countries pursuing higher studies in this University. Some of these countries are China, Iran, Jordan, Thailand, Indonesia, Egypt, Syria, Tanzania, Uzbekistan, Kajkhastan, Kirghizia, Mongolia, Uganda, Yemon, Kenya, Palestine, Srilanka, Bangladesh and Nepal. While adopting and realizing the policy of inclusive growth creating opportunities to every deserving persons new courses and programs such as Masters in Biotechnology, Microbiology, Electronics, Genetics, Electronic Media, Geographical Information Systems, Information Technology and Management, Computer Cognition Technology, Financial Analysis and Management, Tourism Administration etc., have been introduced in a phased manner to meet the emerging needs of the technology and society and to develop necessary human resources. Career Oriented Courses, such as e-commerce, Bio-informatics, Clinical Informatics, Office Automation etc., are also being offered.
The University has developed excellent infrastructure for curricular and co-curricular activities. The University Library has a collection of 6.2 lakhs covering books, reference works and journal back volumes. In addition, the individual constituent colleges/institutes and departments maintain their own book collections amounting to another 4 lakhs. The E-resource Portal developed by the library facilitates access to 6500 UGC-INFONET E-journals, 7000 Open Access Journals, 17000 licensed e-books, Lakhs of OA e-books, a number of databases, e-thesis, institutional repositories and other information sources. The library has set up a Carrier Information Resource Center and Learning Resource Center for Visually Challenged. The main campus features an amphitheater, an auditorium, a swimming pool, and hostels for women and men with modern amenities and comforts.
Considering the progress of the University in all directions and its contributions to the society, the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India has considered University of Mysore as ̀ Institution of Excellence' and has awarded special grant of Rs.100 Crores for establishing Centre of Excellence in ``Biodiversity, Bioprospecting and Sustainable Development'' and also to strengthen infrastructural facilities in the University.On recommendation of Karnataka Knowledge Commission, the Karnataka Government considered University of Mysore as an “Innovative University”. University of Mysore is recipient of several research and other academic programs of UGC, CSIR, DST and DBT and other agencies of Govt. of India. It is pertinent to mention that very recently, University Grants Commission has awarded University of Mysore - University with Potential for Excellence (UPE) and has extended financial assistance of Rs.50 Crores for research activities and for holistic development of the University. With the heritage that the University enjoys, and the committed Faculty and Non-Teaching Staff it has, there is no doubt the University of Mysore leaves no stone unturned to move forward to maintain high standards in teaching, learning and research and accomplish Excellence in Highereducation.
