Imagine, Ignite, Inspire
PRATYARTH ’09 A national level tech fest organized by the DEPT OF BIOINFORMATICS, SASTRA UNIVERSITY, Thanjavur.
COMBIGS, a student chapter of bioinformatics @ SASTRA began its journey on 01/09/2005. As an in and out student association, it actively imparts technical as well as entrepreneurship skills to students. We concentrate on creating awareness on different fields of research to ignite the minds of tomorrow’s India. We strongly believe that learning is an everyday process and any kind of learning would surely help the students to develop their thinking and future. We enthusiastically organize a calendar full of events which include magazine and newsletter releases, lecture series by eminent scientists, innovative and interactive sessions and activities, and above all, a National level technical symposium. In COMBIGS, we have the tradition of conducting a national level tech symposium and make young scientists’ dreams come true and that’s how PRATYARTH ’07 & ’08 happened! This year, We a group of challenging youth promise to set a milestone in the history of SASTRAwith PRATYARTH ’09.
