Amity Institute of Biotechnology (AIB), Amity University Uttar Pradesh (AUUP), Noida, is organising an important and insightful International Conference on, ‘Sustainable Biotechnology and Bioinnovations (SBB-2026)’ from 25th to 27th February 2026.
Addressing the students during the Inaugural Session, Guest of Honor, Dr. Sangita M. Kasture, Scientist G/Advisor, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India, averred, “Through this conference, students will get great exposure to new opportunities for research. The Conference will be beneficial in enhancing the capacity building of students and researchers through exposure to global best practices in sustainable bioprocesses, circular bioeconomy and emerging biotechnologies. Researchers must do impactful research which can contribute to our country’s development.”
Prof (Dr.) T P Singh, SERB Distinguished Fellow and Former Professor in the Department of Biophysics at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, stated, “Today, we see AI being used in almost every area, however, there is a need to produce a lot of data for AI to succeed. When it comes to research, the number of publications should be increased, and researchers need to be ahead of others and do path-breaking and unique research, only then they can succeed. They must focus on a particular topic and produce new results through their research. Careers in the field of science are not just jobs, rather they are careers which offer great service to the society.”
Prof. (Dr.) Sunghoon Park, Chair Professor Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology, South Korea, noted, “The conference will provide a global platform for dissemination of cutting-edge research in sustainable Biotechnology and Bio-Innovations, promote interdisciplinary research addressing global sustainability, environmental, energy and industrial challenges.”
Dr. Atul Chauhan, Chancellor Amity University, emphasised that Amity University has been at the forefront of research and innovation. “At Amity, a scientific temperament is developed in Amity students at a young age and even school children are encouraged to innovate and develop prototypes. Students must reach out and seek guidance from the experts and interact freely with them since this will add immense value to their knowledge and learning”, said Dr. Chauhan.
Prof (Dr.) W Selvamurthy, President, Amity Science Technology and Innovation Foundation, opined, “90% of our country’s GDP comes from agriculture and the demand for food is increasing. At the same time, the problem of climate change is also on the rise. Therefore, it is crucial to focus on sustainable solutions and this conference covers a wide range of contemporary themes, including Sustainable Biotechnology, Circular Bioeconomy, Industrial Biotechnology, Environmental Biotechnology, Bioenergy and Biorefineries, Waste-to-Value Bioprocesses, Synthetic and Systems Biology, and many others, thereby providing sustainable solutions to diverse problems, in various sectors.”
Prof. (Dr.) Chanderdeep Tandon, Additional Pro-VC & Dean, Faculty of Biosciences & Biotechnology, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida, said, “The Conference provides a platform to the young researchers to solve the real-world challenges. Sustainable solutions are a necessity for managing waste and there is a necessity to bring research from the labs to the society.”
Introducing the Conference, Prof. (Dr.) Pooja Vijayaraghavan, Director, Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, said, “SBB-2026 has been envisioned as a flagship international scientific platform in sustainable biotechnology and bio-innovations, bringing together an eminent congregation of national and international leaders in biotechnology, environmental sustainability, industrial bioprocessing, and circular bioeconomy.”
During the three-day Conference, Plenary Sessions, Keynote Lectures, Poster Sessions, Round Table Discussions, and Oral Presentations will be organized on various topics such as Metabolic engineering for biological production of organic acids and diols, Advancing Sustainable Bio-Based Agro-formulations, Dysbiosis of the Gut Microbiome, and Strain and enzyme engineering to convert Agri-residues into fuels and valuable chemicals, and many others.
