About the Workshop

All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi is dedicated to developing innovations in teaching, research and patient care. The Department of Physiology has been a strong pillar in supporting this mandate given by the Parliament of India to AIIMS, New Delhi. The Departmental faculty and students have always worked towards this aim of being the pioneers in developing innovations in teaching and research and innovating technologies for the betterment of patient care. In line with this continued mission, the Department of Physiology, AIIMS, New Delhi is organizing the tenth workshop in the series of Workshops on ‘Techniques in Physiological Sciences’ from 22-24 January 2026, at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. A total of 540 participants have been trained in this annual event over the years. Through this workshop, we intend to share our expertise with the scientific community and help build up scientific cooperation and collaboration in the field of Physiological sciences.

The Department of Physiology at AIIMS, New Delhi has been involved in research ranging from molecular biology to higher neural functions. The research fields include several branches of physiology, for instance, cardiovascular physiology, respiratory physiology, reproductive physiology and neurophysiology. The research projects undertaken have addressed issues like basic mechanisms underlying normal physiology to altered responses in disease conditions. At a given time fifteen to twenty research projects are undertaken by the departmental faculty members, which include some in collaboration with clinical departments. These research projects aim to understand and assist the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of various diseases.

The successful conduct of various research projects in the Department of Physiology, AIIMS, New Delhi has been made possible through the application of several state-of-art technologies that have been developed painstakingly by the departmental faculty members and students and are being upgraded and excelled continuously.

TIPS workshop aims to share these state-of-art techniques with the participants who may gain sufficient insights during three days of intensive training to translate the techniques at their Institutions. The Workshop shall expose around 60-100 participants to techniques of their interest through demonstrations and ‘hands-on’ training programs with about 15 hours per participant. 

Additionally, we are also conducting “Hands-on workshop on Animal Experiments for Teaching in Physiology" for two days on 20 - 21 January 2026. The workshop is designed as an experiential refresher for faculty in Medical College and Institutions, for conducting animal experiments for teaching in accordance with prevailing norms in India. Apart from hands-on experience of recording mechanical activity of intestine segments, demonstration of recordings in nerve-muscle and isolated heart preparation; the participants shall be familiarized with working principle of Digital/Analog equipment and guidelines related to animal experiments for teaching and research in India.
