National Workshop on Applications of Informatics in Marine Biodiversity Conservation
5 - 7 December 2005
With the depleting land based resources, marine natural resources are under increased stress and exploitation. Information technology can play a vital role in sustainable resource management from our marine ecosystem. During the three day workshop leading experts who have applied various information and communication technology tools for acquisition, analysis, forecasting of marine natural resources would provide both lectures and hands-on-session. Each day would be devoted to understand potential applications of emerging disciplines such as biodiversity informatics, bioinformatics and chemoinformatics in marine sector.
Workshop features
Biodiversity Informatics
• Past, Present and Future with specific reference to Marine biodiversity of
developing world
• Cataloging marine biodiversity
• Digitization of specimen collections
• Specimens to species Banks
• Ecological Niche modeling
Bioinformatics
• Past, Present and Future
• Bioinformatics Databases
• Genome2function : Methods and approaches
• Hands-on-session
Chemoinformatics
• Molecular structure representation and viewing
• Challenges in molecular database searching
• Natural products as drugs
• Predicting physico-chemical /biological properties from molecular structures
• From targets to ligands
• Marine chemistry and informatics
Who should Participate
Workshop would be useful to mid carrier scientists, academicians and post-graduate students in marine sciences and fishery sciences. Workshop will facilitate participantion of only 25 delegates who would be chosen by the committee of experts
Delegates desiring to participate may fill in attached registration form along with their detailed CV including list of publications and a brief write-up on how this workshop would help them in their career to the Workshop Coodrinator.
