The conference was marked with the attendance of Nobel Laureate Prof. Ada Yonath; Editorial Board Members of supporting journals, Scientists, young and brilliant researchers, business delegates and talented student communities representing more than 25 countries, who made this conference fruitful and productive.

This conference was based on the theme “Innovation, Insight and Integration of Future Science” which included the following scientific tracks:  

• Cell Biology
• Tissue Biology
• Stem Cell Biology
• Developmental Biology
• Structural Biology
• Molecular Biology
• Bio-Engineering
• Systems Biology
• Genomics
• Computational Biology
• Bio-imaging

Integrative Biology-2016 was moderated by Dr. Avinash Patel (Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Germany) on the first day, by Dr. Tso-Fu Mark Chang (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan) on the 2^nd day and by Dr. Jinyan Du (Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Inc., USA) on the third day.

We are thankful to our Honourable guests for their generous support and suggestions.
