“Nanobiotechnology in Disease Management and Sustainable Agriculture”

A webinar on “Nanobiotechnology in Disease Management and Sustainable Agriculture” was successfully conducted at Sri Roop Rajat Seminar Hall on 17.12.2025 at 9.30 a.m. at Marudhar Kesari Jain College for Women (Autonomous), Vaniyambadi, Tirupattur District, Tamil Nadu, India.

The programme was organized by the Department of Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Food and Nutrition, and Microbiology, in association with the Faculty of Science, Sigma University, Vadodara, Gujarat.

The resource person for the webinar was Dr. Shailja Dhiman, Assistant Professor, Department of Life Sciences, Sigma University, Vadodara, Gujarat. The session aimed to provide insights into the emerging role of nanobiotechnology in addressing critical challenges related to human disease management and sustainable agricultural practices.

The programme commenced with a welcome address, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in modern biological sciences. The speaker was then formally introduced, emphasizing her academic expertise and research contributions in the field of nanobiotechnology.

During the lecture, Dr. Shailja Dhiman delivered a comprehensive and informative presentation on the fundamentals of nanobiotechnology, followed by its applications in disease diagnosis, targeted drug delivery, and therapeutic interventions. She explained how nanoparticles, nanocarriers, and nanosensors are being effectively used to improve the precision and efficiency of disease management while minimizing side effects.

The speaker also elaborated on the role of nanobiotechnology in sustainable agriculture, focusing on nano-fertilizers, nano-pesticides, and nano-based delivery systems that enhance crop productivity, reduce chemical usage, and promote environmental safety. She emphasized how nanotechnology can contribute to food security, soil health, and eco-friendly farming practices, making agriculture more sustainable.

The presentation was enriched with real-time examples, diagrams, and recent research findings, which helped students understand complex concepts easily. The session was interactive, and participants actively engaged in the question-and-answer segment, seeking clarification on research opportunities, safety aspects of nanomaterials, and future career prospects in nanobiotechnology.

Faculty members and students from Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Food and Nutrition, and Microbiology actively participated in the webinar. The programme significantly enhanced participants’ understanding of cutting-edge technologies and their practical relevance in health care and agriculture.

The webinar concluded with a vote of thanks, expressing gratitude to the resource person, organizing departments, faculty coordinators, and participants for their valuable contributions and active involvement. Overall, the programme was highly informative, inspiring, and academically enriching, successfully achieving its objectives.

Breast cancer

Image
  Breast cancer  Breast cancer is a disease where cells in the breast tissue grow uncontrollably. It can occur in both men and women, though it’s much more common in women. Here are some key points about breast cancer: Types: Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) : The most common type, starting in the milk ducts and spreading to surrounding tissue. Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC) : Begins in the lobules and can also spread. Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) : A non-invasive condition where abnormal cells are found in the ducts but haven't spread. Triple-negative Breast Cancer : Lacks three common receptors (estrogen, progesterone, and HER2) and can be more aggressive. Risk Factors: Gender : Women are at higher risk. Age : Risk increases with age. Family History : Genetics can play a role; BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations increase risk. Lifestyle Factors : Obesity, alcohol consumption, and lack of physical activity can contribute. Symptoms: A lump or mass in the breast or underarm. Cha...

Kidney function tests

  Kidney function tests  Kidney function tests are essential for assessing how well your kidneys are working.  1. Blood Tests: Serum Creatinine : Measures the level of creatinine, a waste product from muscle metabolism. Elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney function. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) : Measures the amount of nitrogen in your blood from urea, another waste product. High levels can suggest kidney issues. Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) : Calculated using serum creatinine, age, sex, and race. It estimates how well your kidneys are filtering blood. An eGFR below 60 may indicate kidney disease. 2. Urine Tests: Urinalysis : A dipstick test that checks for protein, blood, glucose, and other substances. Presence of protein (proteinuria) can indicate kidney damage. 24-Hour Urine Collection : Measures the total amount of waste products excreted in urine over 24 hours. This can help assess kidney function and detect kidney stones. 3. Imaging Tests: U...
