About ABAP
The Association of Biotechnology and Pharmacy (ABAP) was established in the year 2007 for the development of science in the fields of Biotechnology and Pharmacy. The main objective of ABAP is to form a forum for scientists so as to bring them together to discuss and find scientific solutions to the contemporary issues on these two important areas. The annual meetings of ABAP help the members to interact, induct young aspirants, exchange the knowledge, explore the future research needs, solve the local issues and publish their findings. The association organizes symposia, seminars and workshop on current developments of Biotechnology and Pharmacy, particularly on the subject of current scientific interest in Schools and Universities across India. In view of the vast development in the dissemination of research work, an international journal of Current Trends in Biotechnology and Pharmacy was started by ABAP (ISSN: 0973 8916 –Print; 22307303-online). And every year the ABAP announces Life time awards in Biotechnology, Pharmacy and Industrial Biotechnology areas.
