Amity University Haryana organized National Webinar on Advances in Cancer Biology: Basic to Translational Research. 
Amity Institute of Biotechnology and Amity Institute of Integrative Sciences and Health, Amity University Haryana, Gurgaon has hosted a National Webinar onAdvances in Cancer Biology: Basic to Translational Research. The webinar was organized under the leadership of Prof Rajendra Prasad, Dean Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology, Amity University Haryana and Amity Institute of Biotechnology and Amity Institute of Integrative Sciences and Health team. This event was coordinated by AIB Cancer Biology group Dr.Chandramani Pathak, Dr.Amit Kumar Pandey, Dr.Ujjaini Das Gupta, Dr. Gargi Bagchi  and AIB faculty member  Dr Machiavelli Singh.

Cancer is life threatening disease and second leading cause of the death worldwide. In recent past extensive efforts geared toward in cancer research and clinical manifest, but still it is challenging and needed extensive research to gain therapeutic outcomes. At an early stage it is undetectable, asymptomatic disease and difficult to predict due to poor prognostic biomarkers. Cancer therapeutic has lowest success rate and high mortality worldwide and incidence of cancer is increasing the burden in the society day by day. Therefore, it is important to understand the biology of cancer and essential cellular mechanism, which can translate basic research to the clinic. To keep this in mind the aim of the webinar was conducted to impart the knowledge and learn the update of advances in Cancer Biology from Basic to Translational Research.  This interactive forum provides a common platform for exchange of new knowledge, ideas to conceptualize progressive research to battle cancer. 

The distinguished scientist of Cancer Biology and Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Awardee Prof. Gopal C. Kundu, Former Director-In charge & Scientist G, NCCS, Pune Director R&D, School of Biotechnology, KIIT, Bhubaneshwar, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Scientist G, Cancer Research Institute (CRI), Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC), Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai and Dr. Santosh Chauhan, Scientist -E and Welcome-DBT Intermediate Fellow and EMBO Global Investigator, Institute of Life Science, Bhubaneshwar were delivered the invited talk on this webinar.

Prof Gupal C. Kundu has briefly talked about advances on the knowledge on Breast cancer heterogenicity and nano particle-based drug delivery for understanding the Tumor Heterogeneity and Development of Multi-targeted Therapy in Breast and other Cancer. 

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Principal Scientist, ACTREC Mumbai has explained the Epigenetic alteration in gastric cancer and their potential clinical applications by using HDAC inhibitor. 

Dr. Santosh Chauhan addressed the crosstalk of Autophagy and Inflammation in cancer with clinical significance. The session was very interactive between speakers, panelist, and participants. More than 176 participants registered for this webinar. The IT team of Amity University Haryana transformed the live streaming this webinar on you tube and zoom meet.
