| Importance of Translational Medicine: Despite tremendous progress in the field of medicine, research are unable to discover/develop effective medicine against various dread diseases. Due to lack of effective medicine, we have several millions of immature deaths every year world-wide. Thus their is a need to promote translational research (transforming basic research into medicines), in order to improve quality of life. Translational medicine needs wide range of expertise from basic science to clinical (bench to bedside). In this conference attempt will be made to bring wide range of experts on single platform, who are directly or indirectly working in the field of translational research in therapeutics. Open Source for Drug Discovery (OSDD): OSDD Forum is an initiative with a vision to provide affordable healthcare to the developing world. The OSDD concept aims to synergize the power of genomics, computational technologies and facilitate the participation of young and brilliant talent from universities and industry. It seeks to provide a global platform where the best brains can collaborate and collectively endeavor to solve the complex problems associated with discovering novel therapies for neglected diseases particularly Tuberculosis. |
