A Seminar on “Translational Health Sciences: Pathways to Discovery” was organized by the Research Cell of the university on 28th and 29th April 2009 in the Scientific Convention Centre.  In recent years it has been seen that many scientific discoveries are being made but not actually leading to real advances in medical therapies, diagnostics etc. The new field of Translational Health Science aims to bridge this gap.  This seminar was organized to sensitize and create awareness about this new branch. Many luminaries in the field of medicine graced this 2 day seminar – including  Dr MK Bhan, Secretary, Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, Dr NK Ganguly, Ex Director General,  Indian Council of Medical Research,  Dr SS Agarwal, Ex Director ACTREC, Mumbai and Prof Saroj Chooramani Gopal, Vice Chancellor CSMMU.  Organising Secretary was Prof Shally Awasthi, Faculty in Charge, Research Cell.
