ABOUT US
Quaid-i-Azam University, established in 1967, is an international seat of higher, advance, intellectual learning that illuminates the human minds and broadens the vision bringing back home all kinds of opportunities and development. Quaid-i-Azam university(qau) has marked 50 years of establishment. It has been able to establish its links with some selected universities in Europe, South Asia and the United States. The international educational and research institutions including UNESCO, IRSIP, Agencia Espanole de Cooperacion International (Spain) etc. collaborate their research activities with the Quaid-i-Azam University.
The Department of Plant Sciences, established in 2006, is a teaching and research department of faculty of Biological Sciences and is one of the largest centers for research in Plant Sciences among all the Universities in Pakistan. Many individuals have research projects funded form Higher Education Commission, Pakistan Science Foundation, Pakistan Agricultural Research Council and WWF. The Department is well equipped with modern research facilities.
Department of Plant Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan is organizing the “International Conference on Emerging Trends in Plant Proteomics” scheduled to be held on March 1-3, 2017 at Department of Plant Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan. This 3 days’ conference aims to bring together leading academicians and researchers to review the current and emerging issues in the field of Plant Proteomics through presentation and discussion in plenary, oral and poster sessions as well as informal gatherings. Besides the national experts from the industry, academia and research institutions, the leading academicians from Denmark, Japan, Korea and other countries will also participate and share expertise on different aspects of global scenario related to the proteomics research and their solutions.
Proteomics is a large scale comprehensive study of proteins present in an organism. It aims to characterize information flow within the cell and organism, through the protein pathways and networks. The proteome is a dynamic reflection of both genes and the environment and is thought to hold special promise for biomarker discovery because proteins are most likely to be ubiquitously affected in stress and stress response. Proteomics is used to investigate the protein expression, production, storage, post-translational modifications, subcellular proteins, structural proteomics, protein-protein interaction in order to understand the biological pathways and mechanisms. Several high-throughput technologies have been developed to investigate proteomes in depth. The most commonly applied are mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques.
