Four-Day Hybrid
Workshop:
Signal Transduction.
Workshop Facilitator:
Prof. Dr. Rafat Siddiqui
(Associate Director of
Agriculture, College of Agriculture, Virginia State University, Petersburg, USA).
INTRODUCTION:
The Sindh Innovation,
Research, and Education Network (SIREN) working under the auspices of the
Government of Sindh, and the International Center for Chemical and Biological
Sciences (ICCBS) is organizing a four-day hybrid workshop entitled, “Signal Transduction”. All research
scholars, student scientists, and faculty of universities are cordially invited
to attend this important workshop.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:
The workshop is a four-day event that will provide attendees with
a comprehensive overview of cellular mechanisms that are used by hormones,
neurotransmitters, cytokines (interleukins), and growth factors. This
comprehensive overview of signal transduction will provide attendees with the
knowledge needed to understand the complex cellular signaling pathways that
contribute to the initiation and progression of chronic diseases, including
cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and inflammation.
The workshop is an ideal opportunity for researchers, clinicians,
and students to gain a comprehensive understanding of cellular processes.
Attendees will learn from Dr. Rafat Siddiqui and participate in interactive
discussions. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have the knowledge and
skills needed to contribute to cutting-edge life science research.
