Workshop

About ChEQ Initiated by IITB and UICT 25 years ago the N.R.Kamath Memorial Chemical Engineering Quiz (ChEQ) surely has had a legacy of its own. The quiz restarted its course in the year of 2006 under the supervision of IIChE (Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers). The quiz has henceforth been held in various colleges across Mumbai and has seen wide-spread participation of students from Mumbai Pune Lonere Nashik under the rolling trophy format. With many expectations and anticipations from the student and teaching faculty alike we are glad to present you with the ChEQ-2010. 

 International Symposium on Dynamics and Control of Process Systems - DYCOPS 2013 to be held at VMCC IIT Bombay December 18-20 2013 (http://www.dycops2013.org)

Course website: http://www.che.iitb.ac.in/faculty/ganesh/ISSB/. Systems and synthetic biology are two important emerging inter-disciplinary inter-related fields. Systems biology approaches use the principles of biology physical sciences engineering and mathematics to systematically understand and quantitate the functioning of biological systems. Biology being astoundingly complex several novel systems biology based experimental theoretical and computational approaches have been developed in the last decade to decipher various principles that govern the functioning of cells and their response.

Organized by:  Pramod P Wangikar Jay Keasling Aindrila Mukhopadhyay and Mugdha Gadgil. Venue: VMCC IIT BOMBAY MUMBAI INDIA. Date: 18th March To 20th March 2016. Important dates: Abstract submission deadline:  January 15 2016 Early registration ends:  January 31 2016 Late registration ends:  February 28 2016.

About The Woskhop The programme for Intensification of Research in High Priority Areas (IRHPA) was launched by the Department of Science and Technology (DST Government of India) to strengthen research in high priority areas. This is meant to set up Core Groups Centres of Excellence and National Facilities in frontline and emerging fields of science and engineering. As part of this programme five projects were awarded in the area of Chemical Engineering with focus on Advanced Materials and Delivery devices.

Systems and synthetic biology are two important emerging inter-disciplinary inter-related fields. Systems biology approaches use the principles of biology physical sciences engineering and mathematics to systematically understand and quantitate the functioning of biological systems. Biology being astoundingly complex several novel systems biology based experimental theoretical and computational approaches have been developed in the last decade to decipher various principles that govern the functioning of cells and their response.

The students of Communication Skills course in the department will debate on the following topics. The number of publications of a researcher is a good measure to be used for evaluating their performance. In the Indian context Government Agencies must only fund (sponsor) research that is of immediate and direct use to the society. Undergraduate engineering education in India can be improved by ('For' team speaks for): Opening new IITs ('Against' team speaks for): Old IITs training faculty in/for existing colleges.

International Symposium on Computer Applications to Biotechnology - CAB 2013 to be held at VMCC IIT Bombay during December 16-18 2013 (http://www.cab2013.org)

Academia has always been considered as a bastion of research. Current trends in Indian industries are also increasingly oriented towards R&D activities. It is therefore of mutual interest for both these sectors to interact as their activities are complementary in nature. RSS was started in February 2006 with a vision to provide this synergistic dimension to the research being conducted by PhD students of the Chemical Engineering Department and showcase their work to the industrial delegates.

Victor Menezes Convention Center IIT Bombay As a part of N.R. Kamath Chair Professorship IIT Bombay jointly with Indian Drug Manufacturers' Association (IDMA) and Organisation of Pharmaceutical Producers of India (OPPI) is organising one-day workshop on 'Unmet needs in drug delivery technology'. The details are as follows: Chief Guest : Mr. Dilip Shanghvi Founder & Managing Director Sun Pharmaceutical. Guest of Honour : Dr. Yusuf Hamied Chairman Cipla Key note speaker : Prof. Samir Mitragotri N.R.
