BioRevolution offers answers to some of the critical issues and challenges facing by the society, such as climate change, health and therapy, nutritional issues and goes beyond simply advancing science to transform economies, industries, and civilizations. It represents a time when biological principles will underpin ecological restoration, human health innovation, and sustainable development.

This year GENESIS 2024 has come up with the theme on BIOREVOLUTION for reshaping the industries and societies for a better future. The fest will cover a wide range of aspects that highlights rapid advancements and breakthroughs in the biological sciences, particularly in areas like basic sciences, life sciences, biotechnology, microbiology, genetic engineering, synthetic biology, bioinformatics, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The theme highlights revolution that is transforming how we understand, manipulate, and apply the building blocks of life. We intend to programme a variety of formats, ranging from talks to drop-in activities and creative content that challenges preconceived notions about what science is and can be. The GENESIS 2024 (BioRevolution), will be hosted by Department of Biosciences IMS Ghaziabad (University Courses Campus) for undergraduates, postgraduates and school students of all streams across India offering free activities. On behalf of the organizing committee, we are pleased to invite you and your students to be the part of this Inter-Institutional Science Fest 'Genesis-2024'.

Looking for active participation- Come, ignite your curiosity!
