Increasing availability of biological information about human, plants, animals and microorganisms has allowed the harnessing of unexplored information, furthering our understanding of mechanisms of superior growth and survival. An eventual goal for the biotechnology would be optimizing the use of untapped/unexplored assets that can be utilized for further strengthening of the human life. The aim of AIBioSD-2019 Conference was to provide an advance-thinking environment for biotechnologist, microbiologists, environmentalists, bioinformaticians, statisticians and computer scientists together to discuss and understand the future challenges associated with biological phenomenon through innovative applications of new technologies. Conference had provided the premier multidisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners and scientists to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends and practical challenges associated with biotechnology. The conference broadly covered topics in medical and pharmaceutical, food and agricultural, climate change and environmental biotechnology, waste management and bioremediation, energy, and industrial microbiology and biotechnology. We expected that this conference would foster new collaborations and help to define areas within biotechnology that are in most need of research attention in order to ensure better survival of human kind in future for sustainable development. Participation at this conference was the prime opportunity to keep pace with the cutting-edge research in such exciting topics and to network with other members of scientific community.

The Biotech Research Society, India and Malviya National Institute of technology, Jaipur jointly organized the 10^th International Conference on Biotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture, Environment and Health (BSAEH-2021) on April 04-08, 2021. In the conference, 100+ speakers had participated across the world and presented their work. For AKS University, their dedication and work ethics made them the “Official Partner” of the 10^th international conference. The efforts and dedication of academicians of AKS University (biotechnology department) had proved their efficiency to build up a common platform for scientific community. From Department of Biotechnology of AKS University, Prof. Kamlesh Choure (Head), Mr. Piyush K. Rai and Mr. Vivek Agnihotri had assisted the conference with organizing team at Jaipur. Prof. Kamlesh Choure was the session moderator and he had also presented the topic on ‘Nano-bioformulation of bioinoculants for improving the agriculture productivity’.

September-October 2020

Department of Biotechnology of AKS University believe in Come, Create and Collaborate theory and on the basis this “Biotech e-Refresher Course” was organized. The objective of this Biotech e-Refresher Course was to expand and explore the new horizons, developments made by the scientific communities for the betterment of society. 21st Century is the Era of Biotechnology where scientists, researchers, academicians and industrialists playing an important role in ideating, innovating and engaging self to provide numerous biological products, therapies and processes which can lead the society in multiple ways. With this vision, Department of Biotechnology of AKS University achieved success by organizing this e-Refresher Course of 55 days in which 19 workshops on topics like, Next Generation Sequencing, Metagenomics, Plant Tissue Culture, Microbial Therapeutics, Bio fertilizers, Vaccine Development, Stem Cell Engineering, Fermentation Technology, Intellectual Property Rights, Ethnobiology, Probiotics, Immunology, Rapid Diagnostics, Molecular Biology, Microbial Biodiversity, Gene Editing with CRISPR Technology, Genomics Assisted Strategies for Climate Resilient Crops, Scope, Career and Entrepreneurship in Biotechnology was covered by 50+ speakers from incredible institutes of India like ICMR - National Institute for Research in Environmental Health, DBT, DST, AIIMS, DBT-ICT-Centre for Energy Biosciences, Institute of Chemical Technology, ICRISAT, Hyderabad, NIPGR – New Delhi, CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, IBSD – Sikkim, CSIR- Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, CSIR-National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology, CSIR – NBRI, IIT – Delhi, ICAR – IISR (Indore), ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi, Malviya National Institute of Technology – Jaipur, Merck – CSIR - Imtech Chandigarh and ICGEB – New Delhi. With this, research scientists from Indian universities like Barkatullah University, Amity University, SHUATS – Prayagraj, Gurukul Kangri University and Jiwaji university had also presented their extensive research domain that was beneficial for more than 200 participants from 29 states, 718 districts and 7 territories as recorded by the organizing committee of Biotech e-Refresher Course. With scientists & research scholars, the students of multiple colleges and universities across India had also benefited from this e-Refresher course. We believe that every single soul who participated in this e-Refresher course was transformed by innovative and advanced learning in the field of Biotechnology.
