The Indian C. elegans Meeting is the premier national conference for the Indian Caenorhabditis elegans research community.

It brings together researchers, faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students from across the country who use C. elegans to address fundamental questions in biology, spanning genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology, cell biology, ageing, disease biology, evolution, behaviour, and related discipline.

The meeting provides a vibrant platform for participants to present their latest research, exchange ideas, foster collaborations, and strengthen the growing C. elegans community in India. Typically attracting around 175-225 participants, the conference features keynote lectures, invited talks, short talks selected from abstracts, and poster presentations. The format encourages interactions across career stages, from undergraduate and postgraduate students to Ph.D. scholars, postdoctoral researchers, and established faculty members.
