R. Venkataraman Chemical Society, Post
Graduate Department of Chemistry, Hans Raj Mahila Maha Vidyalaya organized
National Webinar on “Nanomaterials for Diagnostics and Therapy” under the able
guidance of Principal Prof. Dr. (Mrs.) Ajay Sareen.
Dr. Yashveer Singh, Associate Professor in
Department of Chemistry and Associate Faculty at Centre for Biomedical
Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar was the Resource Person. Dr.
Neelam Sharma welcomed the Resource Person and gave a brief introduction of the
webinar. Dr. Yashveer Singh briefly introduced the audience with basic
knowledge of nanoscience and its applications, specifically emphasizing on
biomedical areas. Biomedical nanotechnology aims at exploiting nanoscience for
the well being of humans and animals. He explained the properties of
nanomaterials which can be used in such a way that they can target specific
cells and to act as drug carriers. He also explained the synthesis of
nanopatterned surfaces in laboratories which can kill bacteria. Citing some of
the practical examples, he concluded his talk by saying that although
nanotechnology has proven to be an important achievement of science, still
there are some concerns which are under scrutiny and undergoing research. The
talk was much appreciated by the audience. It was highly informative and made
students aware of recent advancements and their applications in the field of
nanotechnology. The students satisfied their queries by interacting with the Resource
Person. The webinar ended by vote of thanks given by Mrs. Deepshikha.
