ABOUT The WORKSHOP The workshop on “Advanced Techniques in Life Sciences (ATILS)” aims to extend its technical knowledge to the young researchers and students in the field of life science by giving them hands on training to participants. NIT Rourkela is one of the premier nation level institutions for technical education in the country and is funded by the Government of India. The department is actively engaged in teaching and research. Our department is newly established and came into existence in 2008 and the academic curriculum was fully functional in 2009. However, it is not new in terms of experience and cultivating science. The department is well equipped with all the advanced and necessary instruments required to conduct high level research. Our faculties have the expertise in different fields like Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Biophysics, Cell biology, Immunology, Foodscience, Microbiology and Molecular biology. With the previous success of organizing international conference in our department in year 2010 (InCoFIBS), we are happy to announce this two day workshop, (ATILS).
