Excited to kick off the Frontiers Symposium in Biology. Our Director, Prof. J.N. Moorty, inaugurated the event, and Dr. Ravi Martuthachalam, HOD, warmly welcomed all participants. Day 1 was packed with fascinating talks on plant biology, cancer biology, and Drosophila biology.

Not too many campuses in the country that can match IISER Thiruvananthapuram for all its natural beauty. It’s been a warm day here, with the science and conversations being equally great. Looking forward to day 2 of FSiB.

Today we come to the close of the FS-BIO 2025 meeting. We are grateful to all the eminent speakers who enthralled the audience for 3 days with talks on diverse biological topics. We also thank all the audience members for their enthusiastic participation & discussion.
