Suryaprakash President 8th February, 2017 Message I am extremely delighted to note that today we are organizing 7th Asia Pacific NMR Symposium in conjunction with the 23rd Annual Meeting of National Magnetic Resonance Society (NMRS) of India. I thank APNMR council for providing us an opportunity to take this academic initiative at Indian Institute of Science. NMR activity in India started within few years of its discovery. At IISc NMR activity dates back to early 50‘s when Prof. G. Suryan carried out his work on radiation damping and surface coil and NMR flow measurements. Significant number of notable contributions that are relevant to chemical, biological and medical sciences, have been made by large number of Indian NMR community. Prof. Dharmattis‘ contribution to discovery of NMR chemical shifts is also well known. Research activity progressively evolved in synchronous with technological advancements and diverse applications of magnetic resonance. To promote and accelerate the magnetic resonance activities in India, the National Magnetic Resonance Society was incorporated as a registered body in 1996 by a group of practicing Indian magnetic resonance spectroscopists, with its registered office at IISc. It is delighted to note that as of today, the society has nearly 1000 life members, 40 honorary members, and seven corporate members. Ever since its inception, NMRS has always been playing a pivotal role to create a harmonious scientific forum among the practitioners of magnetic resonance, not only to enhance the awareness but also to instill the creative interest on the developments and applications of NMR spectroscopy by frequent organization of symposia, conferences, workshops, summer schools, etc. Over the years the magnetic resonance activity in the country has experienced phenomenal growth in both scientific and technological fronts, and as a consequence several internationally recognized NMR research groups have emerged. I am happy to inform, presently the country has more than five hundred high-field NMR spectrometers, including number of 700 / 800 MHz spectrometers and more than three hundred MRI units. The NMRS holds a two-day annual meeting spread all across the country to reach the wider audience, and often prefixes a one or two-day special symposium to this meeting, to encourage NMR practitioners to discuss their latest findings. The previous meetings were held at Kharagpur, Amritsar, Tezpur, Lucknow, New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, etc. This year 23rd meeting is being organized at Bangalore in conjunction with the 7th Asia pacific NMR Symposium. The participation of world renowned NMR scientists from all across the globe is growing year by year, giving the annual meetings an international character. Every year the society also elects distinguished overseas NMR scientists, as honorary members. The long list of honorary members contains internationally lauded scientists and also Nobel Laureates, such as, Richard Ernst, Kurt Wuthrich, A. Pines, E.D. Becker, P.C. Lauterbur, K. Akasaka, R. Kaptein, I.C.P.Smith, J. R. Pilbrow, J.H. Freed, Seiji Ogawa, Ad Bax, to mention a few. The NMRS also plays a significant role in nurturing the young talent, and has thus instituted number of awards given annually for students and younger faculty for their research contributions and also provides partial support for students to present their work in NMR related international conferences. The annual meetings of NMRS are unique for their depth, breadth, intellectual rigor and the highest level of the quality of the research that are discussed. In the next few days of deliberations, we have number of insightful presentations, such as, plenary lectures, invited talks, short oral and poster presentations. The discussion covers all aspects of NMR spectroscopy, such as, methodological developments in solution and solid state, applications in chemistry, materials, biology, MRI, Instrumentation, including a public lecture on the role of MRI in yoga. I am sure it will serve as an excellent academic feast for the scientific fraternity, a motivation for budding scientists, a platform to share the ideas, encouragement for establishing the long- range collaborations, in addition to paving the way towards accelerating the advanced research in the frontier and emerging areas of NMR spectroscopy. As a current president of NMRS, I would like to take this opportunity to cordially welcome all the delegates who have come from different parts of the globe and wish all of you a pleasant stay with the sumptuous academic feast to relish. I also would like to heartily congratulate all my faculty colleagues and the students of NMR Centre for taking this wonderful academic initiative and sincerely thank them for putting relentless efforts, day in and day out, in organizing this meeting. President, National Magnetic Resonance Society Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the Asia-Pacific NMR community, I am very pleased to welcome all participants to excellent 7th APNMR symposium in this wonderful city ―Bengaluru‖. I would like to take a chance to report the history of APNMR symposium briefly. Prof. Weontae Lee Very recently, since Asia-Pacific NMR community has grown Department of Biochemistry rapidly and all research environments set up very well, it is of Yonsei University, Korea importance to build human-network for efficient research collaboration including information exchange. To make our idea in action, the 1st Pre-council meeting was held on August, 2004 at Pusan, Korea. The council members representing each countries were Professors Masatsune Kainosho (Japan), Tai-huang Huang (Taiwan), Mitsu Ikura (Canada), Ray Norton (Australia) , Mingjie Zhang (Hong-Kong) and Weontae Lee (Korea). The APNMR symposium has been successfully held during last 12 years; 1st APNMRS at Yokohama (2005), Japan, 2nd in Taiwan (2007), 3rd in Korea (2009), 4th in China (2011), 5th in Australia (2013) and 6th in Hong-Kong (2015). The vision is to enhance the international recognition and visibility of the Asia-Pacific NMR community and to promote international scientific exchange between the participating countries as well as with other countries world-wide. The final goal in the APNMR symposium is to provide researchers and trainees in Asia and Pacific Rim excellent platform for having cutting-edge lectures, meetings with world prominent researchers, networking opportunities, information exchange and a relaxing environment. In particular, participation of young scientists in Asia-Pacific area should be strongly encouraged in the symposium.
