Sai University proudly announces the inauguration of The Synapse Forum, an academic and research platform dedicated to fostering collaboration and dialogue among neuroscientists, educators, and students from across India and around the world.

The term “Synapse” represents the connection between neurons—essential for the transfer of information. Reflecting this spirit, The Synapse Forum aims to build strong intellectual connections across disciplines to explore the frontiers of brain science, cognition, and learning.

The Forum will host a range of events, including Semester Symposia, Bi-annual Conferences, Workshops, and Student-School Visits, promoting exchange of ideas in both basic and advanced neuroscience.

The inaugural session will feature the first “Semester Symposia (Research Talks)”, welcoming two distinguished neuroscientists:

🧠 Dr. Vasudharani DevanathanAssociate Professor, Department of BiologyIndian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), TirupatiTalk Title: Resilience in Neurons: Stories from Their Response to Metabolic Stress

🧬 Dr. RamaRao GolimeAssociate Professor, Department of Epidemiology and Public HealthCentral University of Tamil NaduTalk Title: Decoding Brain Through Proteomics

The event will be graced by the presence of Dr. Ajith Abraham, Vice Chancellor, Sai University, and Mr. K. V. Ramani, Founder and Chancellor, Sai University.

This marks the beginning of an exciting journey for the B.Sc. (Honors) and Ph.D. programs in Neuroscience at Sai University — programs focused on cognition, learning and memory, neurodevelopment, neurophysiology, and the molecular basis of brain function.

Educators, researchers, and industry practitioners are encouraged to refer passionate and prospective students to explore this opportunity in cutting-edge neuroscience education and research.
