Ten Talks - Ph.D. Student Symposium
Click here to know about Schedule >>Rules and introduction
Ten Talks is a Ph.D. symposium selecting 10 novel papers from current PhD students. The goal of the "ten talks" event is to highlight their work in front of other academics than their supervisors. They will be able to present their work and get feedback on their topic and approach from leading scientists in the field and from fellow students. Additionally, the forum will provide an opportunity to meet other students, to learn about their work and last, but not least, to discuss Ph.D. related issues.
Submissions
Authors must have already submitted the work as an abstract. The work must be novel and must report original work done as part of Ph.D. studies. Literature surveys without research studies will not be be counted.
Participation
Interested students will have have to email their interests to bioquest@amrita.edu and details of their submission (number, title, lab details, and Ph.D. advisor's name and affiliations). Very special considerations will be made to allow new authors to apply for the Ten Talks event if he/she has not already sent the abstract before April 15.
The abstracts will be printed as part of BioQuest proceedings. Ten-Talks will be an oral presentation event.
Prize:
Best presentation will be evaluated by a panel of judges and winner will receive a new laptop or a cash prize, as determined by the Ten Talks event committee, in addition to a certificate of recognition.
Second best talk will receive certificate of recognition.
While at the event:
Think before you present
Respect others
Do not link to unrelated articles but do not miss the most significant ones.
Your success is very important so is the uniqueness of your science.
Most important: Have fun and enjoy the symposium!
CONFERENCE
BIOQUEST 2013 will provide an ideal forum to discuss exciting and emerging multidisciplinary themes related to the use of biotechnology in addressing pertinent societal needs. The conference will focus on the ways in which research areas such as translational medicine, nanotechnology, neuroscience, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and bioengineering contribute to alleviating human suffering and improving the quality of life. This conference, which is being hosted by the Amrita School of Biotechnology, will serve as an ideal platform for distinguished experts from diverse areas of biotechnology to come together, share and exchange ideas.
