The science in 21st century is in midst of revolutionary change due to integration of

powerful research technologies. Symbiosis between chemists, biologists and other allied sciences

is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary and collaborative in nature. As never before, advances

in chemical and biological sciences hold tremendous promise for alleviating many of the major

challenges confronting the world. The next generation scientists need to catalyze collaborations in

as traditional a field as integrated pest management to the modern molecular therapeutics. It is the

matter of taking the lead by both chemists and biologists in designing a lead molecule,

deciphering its properties and finally venturing for preclinical and clinical trials requiring

biologists. Facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration is the need of the hour for the success of

chemical and biological research as it demands knowledge input and techniques from across

chemistry, biology and allied disciplines. The shackles of traditional boundaries between the

basic sciences should merge for rapid progress and offering deeper insights into the fundamentals.

There are many potential challenges which can only be addressed properly through scientific

3

cross talks, collaborations, mutual sharing, faculty exchanges, and supporting collaborations for

taking frontiers in chemical and biosciences in newer ways. Some of the most pressing challenges

of the last few decades such as water, energy, emerging disease, loss of biodiversity and poverty

can passionately be understood, addressed and solved through a common platform for researchers

and academicians from both chemistry and biology. These are the areas that often combine or

cross subjects from disciplines such as health care, agriculture, forestry, marine life,

neurosciences, nanosciences, drug designing, docking, Cheminformatics, proteomics, genomics,

glycomics, post-translational modifications in proteins, intracellular localization of biomolecules,

cancer biology and medicine, gene delivery, and technologies to mitigate pollution. To do this,

the researchers should be able to cross-talk diverse protocols of research, inquiry, range of skills

and technologies, and apply them in the laboratory. Until recently, both these sciences evolved

separately, although, the emphasis of both sciences is high-throughput analysis and gaining a

finer understanding of dynamic processes happening in biological systems and now, with

increasing intersection more and more exciting opportunities are opening in the research.

Increasing sophistication of chemical technology has brought molecular understanding of safety

of drugs, molecular mechanism of drug targets and characterization of intercoms across wider

array of biology. Now, we have reached a stage where these two science departments need

to be juxtaposed into one science and offer courses like Integrative Courses in chemical

and Systems Biology to produce next generation of scientists capable to tackle complex

problems of society in 21st century. This necessitates launch of integrated curricula and

forums like International Conferences to bring best human resource working on

interdisciplinary concepts. This new twist has already been reflected in several important

publications, conferences, and events held recently with themes highlighting the need of

interdisciplinary and interconnected approaches between chemistry and biosciences. In

view of this call for perspective change, our college is convening in January 2015 an

International Conference on “Chemical, Materials &Biosciences for sustainable

Development”, as a part of its ongoing efforts to raise issues of science education in India

and provide a new dimension on where our chemical and biological research is likely to

progress over the next few decades. The outcomes that emerge through the conference

will be put as recommendations to view our national priorities & issues necessary for

comprehensive review of coming age science education in India.
