NCRM NICHE[edit]

The NCRM NICHE is an Annual International Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine conference organized by the Indo-Japan Academic Institute, Nichi-In Centre for Regenerative Medicine (NCRM) in the month of October. NCRM NICHE is a unique event as it has a versatile blend of both passive and active knowledge gaining events.

Active knowledge gaining (AKG) event[edit]

Active knowledge gaining (AKG) event refers to any knowledge gaining activity in which the participant plays an active role instead of being a passive listener to a lecture by a speaker or a conversation among third parties. For eg. the Fujio Cup Quiz (FCQ) is an AKG event as the participants will have to actively involve themselves in learning /preparing for the online prelims/onsite prelims/final quiz event and thereafter during the final quizzing they have to face the quiz master and be answering the questions to gain score credits. Similarly, poster presentation involves an active participation by both research before the presentation and interaction during the poster session.

AKG events of NCRM NICHE include

a. Fujio Cup Quiz (FCQ) b. Poster/Oral Presentation session c. Tour to Premier Institutes on Day II and Inter Disciplinary Conclave (IDC)

Passive Knowledge Gaining (PKG) events[edit]

Passive knowledge gaining (PKG) event refers to an event, where there is no mandatory preparation by the participants before the event. During the event, they have to merely be a passive listener to others either delivering a lecture or interacting among third parties. For PKG Events, after enrolment online, the final registration will be completed based on the availability of seats once the final participants of Active Knowledge Gaining (AKG) events (Fujio Cup Quiz (FCQ) Elites and Poster Participants) are selected.

PKG events of NCRM NICHE include

a. Plenary Lectures b. Inter-Disciplinary Interactions and Solutions (IIDIAS) Session

Prize Information

1. The WINNING team of quiz will get a cash prize. 2. The institute to which the winning team of quiz belongs to will be awarded with the Prestigious "Fujio Cup" (Rolling Trophy) which will be with them at their Institution for one year and be surrendered back before the next year's quiz. 3 . The 1st Runner-Up team will also get a cash prize.

Subjects covered in the Quiz

Basics and essentials of (i) History and development of stem cells / Regenerative Medicine, (ii) Cell Biology, (iii) Molecular Biology, (iv) Stem Cells pre-clinical and clinical applications / Cell therapeutics, (v) Immunology, (vi) Cancer biology, (vii) Developmental biology, (viii) Ethics, (ix) Nanotechnology, (x) Genetics, (xi) Space Age Cell Culture, (xii) Immune-cell therapy for Cancer &( xiii) Cancer stem cells

2. Interactive Plenary & IIDIAS Session - Interactive Lectures delivered by Internationally Renowned top-notch Scientists and Clinicians in the field of Regenerative Medicine.

3. The Inter-Disciplinary Interactions and Solutions (IIDIAS) - The IIDIAS is an academic session in which inter-disciplinary interactive research work that are based on the inventions/discoveries in regenerative medicine are presented by relevant experts followed by an interactive session in which the futuristic directions of the accomplishments are discussed.

4. Poster Presentation Session - Poster Presentation Session gives an opportunity to the Students & Faculty to present their Original work on Basic research, Translational and Clinical studies related to Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine including the allied fields of Cell Biology, Cancer Biology, Immunotherapy and Cell based therapies.

5. The Inter-Disciplinary Conclave (IDC) - In the Inter-Disciplinary Conclave (IDC), the FCQ Elites (FCQ participants selected for the final rounds) and a select group of Active Knowledge Gaining (AKG) delegates of the NCRM NICHE serve as the Jury for selecting the best presentations by the Students from other fields working on Healthcare Applications. This event is unique as the crème de la crème of the scholars from Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Veterinary Science, Dentistry and Medicine from all over the world selected through a meticulous process of objective assessment through various stages of the Fujio Cup Quiz (FCQ) online preliminary rounds and the final rounds, serve as the jury to judge the potentials of students from other fields working on healthcare applications in an inter-disciplinary perspective. In this process, young scholars from multi-speciality origins while serving as jury to NCRM NICHE IDC get to know the kind of basic and translational work undertaken by their contemporaries from other fields, the scholars form other fields get to be adjudged by their peers from across the world to get a feedback on their work from a global perspective.

Scientific publications based on the event[edit]

The proceedings of the NCRM NICHE event get published every year in the Journal of Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine (JSRM), an indexed peer-reviewed open access journal which is the official journal of the German Society for Stem Cell Research (GSZ).

The trend of competitiveness of undergraduate and post-graduate students analysed by a retrospective inspection of the data on participation of the students in NCRM NICHE events from 2006-2010 were published as an article titled "Five-year trend of competitiveness and knowledge-gaining attitude of university students; Evaluation based on an event of continuing health sciences education[1]"

A questionnaire based inquiry on the opinion of clinicians and researchers who attended the NCRM NICHE 2011 on destruction or continued preservation of variola virus stocks was published as an article titled "Smallpox still haunts scientists: Results of a questionnaire based inquiry on the views of health care and life science experts and students on preserving the remaining variola virus stocks[2]"
