For details log on to: www.tau.edu.in/conference
Integrating leading academicians, researchers, beginners, investors,
industrialists and innovators, Anna University - Tiruchi (AU-T)
will conduct an international seminar and workshop on ‘Medical
and Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology: Latest Developments, Practical
Considerations and Applications’, on September 25 and
26.
The seminar, designed for postgraduate students, researchers,
faculty members and scientists, is aimed at educating, learning
and sharing the knowledge on the principles, theory and concept
of basic nanotechnology and its applications in medical and
other related fields, and gaining hands-on experience.
For promoting and developing research work, the seminar will
have dedicated sessions on the principles and concept of nanotechnology
and its applications in medicine. According to P. Selvamani
and S. Latha, organising secretaries, the spotlight of the seminar
will be on cutting-edge technologies in nanomedicine.
Resource persons have been drawn from leading institutions in
the country and abroad. G.K. Khuller, CSIR Emeritus Scientist,
Postgraduate Institute of Medical Institute and Research, Chandigarh,
will make a presentation on ‘Evolving vistas in nanotechnology-based
anti-tubercular chemotherapy’, and Wang, Professor, Shanghai
Institute of Applied Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China,
will detail on ‘Preparation and surface modification of
magnetite nanoparticles and its application to the diagnosis
and therapy of tumor’.
