After two successful editions of Genetics deCoded, we are excited to bring the event back for its third edition. The enthusiasm, curiosity, and participation from our community have helped establish it as a vibrant platform for science outreach, and we would love for you to be a part of it once again.
This time Genetics deCoded is being organized in collaboration with St. Joseph’s University, Bengaluru. Together, we aim to bring experts, scientists, students, and members of the wider public onto a common platform to engage with genetics through thought-provoking discussions, interactive sessions, hands-on activities, and meaningful conversations.
The event will feature lectures by experts and scientists, and a panel discussion, alongside interactive stalls and activities designed to bring genetics to life for audiences of all backgrounds.
