Nanomedicine is emerging as a thrust research area globally in providing solutions to many problems faced in the treatment of diseases like cancer, diabetes and various infectious diseases.
At the recently-held conference on ‘nanomedical sciences’ co-hosted by the University of Kashmir (KU) and the Delhi University at the Jamia Milia Hamdard University between January 7 and 9, 2019, the KU conducted two technical sessions on the theme ‘Nanotechnology in Drug and Vaccine Development’ on the last day at Vigyan Bhavan in the city.
The International Society of Nanomedical Sciences (ISNS) brought representatives from various disciplines including scientific, technological, clinical, and environmental, under a forum for meeting the present-day healthcare challenges.

The first technical session on the theme was chaired by Professor Absar Ahmad and Dr Rabia Hamid (Convenor) that included three invited lectures by experts from top institutions in India and France and three oral presentations. Second technical session conducted on the same theme was chaired by Prof Syed Wajahat A Shah and Dr Tariq Maqbool, which also included three invited lectures by experts from top institutions in India and three oral presentations. The State Tourism Department of Jammu and Kashmir provided partial sponsorship for the sessions.
“These scientific events are highly important in the context of global advancements in frontier research areas that in future are bound to have profound effects on the humankind,” said Professor Talat Ahmad, Vice Chancellor, University of Kashmir.
Being a multidisciplinary subject, Nanotechnology has multifaceted applications including those in medicine, electronics, food, agriculture, textile, environment, space, and energy sectors. The Congress provided an opportunity for the next generation of scientists to share a common dais and directly interact with globally renowned academicians, researchers and medical professionals, from the fields of nanomedical sciences and allied areas, said, experts.
