International Conference on Millets: Genomic and Biotechnological Approaches: Impact on Health and Nutraceuticals
Date: 27th March 2024,
Time: 09:30 AM to 05:00 PM
Venue: GCU Auditorium, Garden City University
“In a world grappling with complex challenges in the domains of food security, nutrition and environmental sustainability, millets have emerged as a beacon of hope. Often overshadowed by more conventional crops, these diminutive grains harbour immense potential and offer a promising solution to some of our most urgent global issues. Hence, The School of Sciences, Department of Life Sciences, Garden City University, Bangalore is organising a one-day international conference on millets. The primary objective of the international conference is to bring together academicians, researchers, and scientists worldwide to deliberate on recent scientific advancements. Specifically, the focus will revolve around the intersection of biotechnological breakthroughs, genomic advancements, and other relevant disciplines shaping India’s scientific landscape. The theme of the conference would be.
