ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY
Centurion University of Technology and Management (CUTM), Odisha is accredited with NAAC A+ grade and is a notified skill university by the Odisha government and a Centre of Excellence recognized by the union ministry of skill development. The journey of Centurion University of Technology and Management (CUTM) began in the year 2005 by a group of ambitious academicians with an aspiration to provide high quality education both nationally and internationally. The first step in this direction was to take over an ailing engineering institute, Jagannath Institute for Technology and Management (JITM) in one of most challenging tribal districts of Odisha and one which was transformed into Centurion University of Technology and Management in August 2010, through an act of Odisha legislative assembly. It became the first multi-sector state private university in Odisha. It is the only university in the state which is declared as Skill University by the government of Odisha.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
This Conference on Generative AI in Animal Experiments in Pharmacology represents a ground breaking convergence of two distinct fields, artificial intelligence (AI) and pharmacological research involving animal models. This unique conference brings together experts from both domains to explore the potential of generative AI techniques in revolutionizing the way pharmaceutical compounds are tested and evaluated in preclinical studies. By leveraging generative AI algorithms, researchers aim to simulate and predict the effects of drugs on biological systems, reducing the reliance on animal experimentation while maintaining scientific rigor and accuracy. Attendees’ present cutting-edge research on AI-driven drug discovery, computational modelling of drug interactions, and virtual screening of pharmaceutical compounds, showcasing the transformative potential of AI in advancing pharmacological research practices. Furthermore, the conference serves as a catalyst for interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering dialogue between AI developers, pharmacologists, and regulatory authorities to address ethical considerations, regulatory challenges, and the responsible integration of AI technologies in animal experiments within the field of drug development.
The selected abstract will be published in CRC press, Taylor and Francis. Taylor & Francis Group is an international company originating in England that publishes books and academic journals. It is a division of Informa plc, a United Kingdom-based publisher and conference company.
