Ms.Mamta Bhatia from SIBM Pune was among the 3 students who represented India, by winning the competition at country level held at Hyderabad during Aug 2016.

At Biocamp2016, Basel- Switzerland, 60 participants (from leading universities across the globe) spanning across 17 countries were competing to win. Ms.Mamta Bhatia from the batch of  2015-2017 of SIBM Pune emerged as the global individual winner of Novartis BioCamp2016.

BioCamp has positively impacted the lives of many young minds. It provides a great opportunity for a broad range of students to interact with leaders in the pharmaceutical industry. BioCamp is open to post-graduate students and young researchers in natural sciences, medicine, biotechnology, bioinformatics, pharmacy, business administration or law (specialisation in Intellectual Property Rights) interested in pursuing a career in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry.
