With sustained efforts from the faculty and students, the Annual BSSE symposium will be organized on January 19 and 21, 2023. The prime objective of the symposium is to acquaint the students and corporate fraternity worldwide to recent developments in bioengineering, particularly immunoengineering, systems biology, and biomedicine. The symposium will enhance the communication network within the research fraternity and also serve as a platform that provides a glimpse of the technological advances in these research areas in India through a series of plenary talks. The symposium will also conduct an ideathon event with an intent to encourage aspiring innovators in bioengineering.
