NATIONAL LEVEL SEMINAR
“COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHES IN PERSONALISED MEDICINE”
DEPARTMENT OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING,
SRI RAMAKRISHNA ENGINEERING COLLEGE
The National level Seminar on “Computational approaches in Personalized medicine”
was organized by the Department of Biomedical engineering, Sri Ramakrishna
Engineering College. Nowadays computational approaches such as AI, Pattern
Recognition, and Bioinformatics play a very important role in the medical field. This
seminar provided a platform for the students, faculty, industrialists and research
scholars to enhance their knowledge in the field of personalized medicine.
The occasion was initiated by the welcome address delivered by Dr.G.Gopu, Head of the
Department, Biomedical Engineering, Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College. The
honourable chief guests for the occasion were
Mr. SubramoniamAiyappan, Project Manager, HCL
technologies, Chennai.

one of the major research interests and the points he quoted in this topic helped in
getting an insight of this emerging field. Brain data computing is yet another blooming
field that has potential futuristic applications in medicine. He has an experience in
working with MRI domain which helped us in gaining knowledge on fMRI, its detailed
working and applications.
Mr. P.K. Praveen Kumar delivers his talk on “Impact Computational approaches in
Personalised Medicine”. Computational methods are increasingly used in almost all
areas of biology in order to understand the complex biological systems and develop
models that generate testable predictions. He listed the various fields that has a wide
range of impact on the compact approaches that are being used in personalized
medicine. They include the cellular and DNA computing, which involves the
investigation of the computational properties of the DNA . He gave brief explanantion
on the proteomic and the genomic databases and also on the medical image acquisition
and analysis. He concluded with quoting some case studies which concentrated on the
chikungunya virus vaccine development by reverse vaccinology approach, other based
on the nipah virus.
Dr. S. Jaganathan delivered his lecture on “Techniques used in vaccine production”. He
began with the basics of vaccination followed by its importance and the various
techniques for vaccine production. He mainly focused on the rabies disease, the human
behavior when affected with rabies virus, various symptoms, and preventive measures.
He also added points on the tetanus and human papilloma virus. The entire session
moved on in a very interactive and friendly manner. It gave everyone a depth
knowledge on vaccination and the methods of producing vaccines.
