ABOUT THE TRAINING COURSE

Over the past decade, materials with nanoscopic dimensions have been the subiect of enormous interest because of the possibility to artificially create materials not found in nature with completely new properties. Nano Biotechnology, a new and emerging field has come to hold the solution to various problems in the field of life sciences, chemical sciences and physical sciences. The materials such as metals, ceramics, polymeric materials, biomaterials or composite materials have shown to have a wide range of potential in photo-thermal heat source, semiconductors, magnetic labels and biomedicals.

Naturally these functional properties have attracted the attention of Researchers to harness such nanoscale material and characterize them. In this perception, we ore delighted organize a training program for two weeks to explore the new avenues of Nano research by delivering lectures and conducting demo-session by the expertised resource persons from various reputed University/Institutes of India.
