DHR–ICMR National Workshop 2026

Biomedical Innovations in One Health Research for Combating MDR/XDR Pathogens Through In-Silico, In-Vitro and In-Vivo Methodologies

A five-day DHR–ICMR Sponsored National Workshop was conducted at Pushpagiri Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre (PIMSRC), Tiruvalla, Kerala, from 22–26 September 2026.

The workshop focused on One Health approaches to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and provided an integrated learning experience spanning in-silico, in-vitro and in-vivo methodologies. The programme featured 15 expert speakers and 5 technical experts, representing diverse scientific, clinical and research domains.

A major highlight was the 13 hands-on training sessions, comprising 4 sessions in Bioinformatics, 4 in Clinical Microbiology, 4 in Cell Culture and Experimental Assays, and 1 Animal House session. These sessions provided participants with practical exposure to computational research, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, clinical microbiology, cell-based assays and animal research methodologies.

The workshop brought together 50+ participants from diverse academic, clinical and research backgrounds, fostering interdisciplinary learning, scientific interaction and research collaboration.
