Sheela Organised by Dept. of Plant Biology & Biotechnology Loyola College (Autonomous) College of Excellence Chennai - 600 034. Tamil Nadu, India About the college Loyola College, Chennai is a Jesuit institution founded in the year 1925. It became autonomous in 1978 and is affiliated to the University of Madras. The college aims at training young men and women of quality to be leaders in all walks of life and to serve the fellowmen in justice, truth and love. True to its motto Let your light shine the college has earned a name for itself in the service of education and has been consistently rated year after year by India Today as one of the Top 10 colleges in arts, science and humanities. The college has been conferred with the rare distinction of College of Excellence by the UGC this year. ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT The department of Botany is one of the oldest departments in the college having commenced in the year 1950. The department which has completed 64 years of dedicated service has rendered stalwarts who have made a mark in this field over the years. The department was rechristened as the Department of Plant Biology and Biotechnology in the year 2000 and has moved on from strength to strength all these years. The department was permitted to start the M. Sc. Biotechnology course in the year 1999. The department also offers research programmes namely M.Phil and Ph.D. A number of conferences, workshops, seminars have been organized regularly by the department. ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Nanotechnology is a burgeoning area in all branches of sciences and engineering. The effects of this technology is being felt far and wide and will be more so in the coming years. The relevance of this field in plant science is both old and advanced. The biosynthesis of nanoparticles using biological systems namely bacteria, actinomycetes, algae, fungi and plants is a hot area and also has immense social, medical and environmental applications. Plant-derived drugs have served as the base for an enormous fraction of the current pharmacopoeia. However, plant-based therapeutic molecules as drugs have limitations due to reduced solubility, permeability and bioavailability. One case in point is where nanotechnology has a massive impact on therapeutic drugs whereby it improves the performance of drugs in terms of efficacy and safety. This application being a drop in the ocean in terms of the technology at large, a need to explore the immediate and relevant applications of it seems to be the need of the hour. The aim of the workshop is to provide a learning ground and at the same time offer a platform for the fruitful exchange of ideas between experts and participants.The lectures in the workshop are by eminent personalities having great expertise in the area. The practical sessions are structured with the target group in mind and to enable the integration of the concepts learnt as a component in their curriculum or research work. THRUST AREAS • Concepts in nanotechnology • Green synthesis of different nanoparticles • Instrumentation and methodology in nanotechnology • Nanomedicine and nanobiology • Environmental and Social Issues TARGET GROUP The workshop is exclusively for faculty and research scholars of all science disciplines and will be on firstcome basis. Maximum number of participants is 25. MODE OF REGISTRATION A registration fee of Rs. 1000/- should be made in the form of DD, in favor of The Principal, Loyola College, payable at Chennai.
