ABOUT WEBINAR SUB THEMES

ABOUT CENTRAL UNIVERSITY OF GUJARAT

We are living in the age of Science and Technology. Technology has become integral part of our daily

living. Out of several dimensions of life, health is the super most important and technology has provided

significant support to all of us in maintaining the positivity in health and wellbeing, at individual, family and

society level along with national level at large. This would have become possible by basic scientific

research in the field of Bioscience and by transforming the research outcome in the form of technology to

be used by common man without any distinction in between cast, creed and religion. Nano science and

nanotechnology has been proved to be the most effective tool providing support to health management

system. In the situation of a disastrous microbial, bacterial and viral pandemic like COVID 19, role of Nano-

biotechnological research and its application to combat such situations becomes more pertinent. This

webinar is being organized to discuss various horizons of Nano-biotechnological research and its use in

overcoming such deadly situation. Basic principles of research, possible effective technology transfer and

therapeutic utility of such technology in fighting with COVID 19 pandemic like fatal conditions and

socioeconomic aspects involved will be addressed by learned speakers.

Established by Parliament of India through the Central Universities Act (2009), Central University of Gujarat

(CUG) considers its main objectives to be dissemination and advancement of knowledge creation and

sharing. The University is committed to make special provisions for integrated and interdisciplinary

courses, to educate and train human resources for the country's development, to initiate appropriate

measures for promoting innovation in teaching and learning and to pay special attention to improve the

social and economic conditions and welfare of the people, especially pertaining to their intellectual,

Universities in Gujarat in NIRF 2016 rankings. According to NIRF 2017, the University ranked among the top

150 Universities in the country.

SCHOOL OF LIFE SCIENCES (SLS)Ever since its inception in 2010 as an independent school, the School of Life Sciences has demonstrated

an unfailing commitment towards imparting quality education and training as well as promoting advance

research in the frontier areas of biological sciences. The M.Sc. students earn knowledge and training in the

basics as well as advances in Life Sciences through exposure to modern tools and techniques. Students

admitted in Ph.D. program are offered one-year coursework covering various aspects of techniques and

research methodology in biological sciences. The nature of course is interdisciplinary, with close interface

between various disciplines of biological sciences.

SCHOOL OF NANO SCIENCES (SNS)The Nanosciences programme at the Central University of Gujarat made its modest beginnings in July 2012

with strong academic and infrastructure supports. The School of Nano Sciences at Central University of

Gujarat, Gandhinagar is still in its infancy and we at the School hope to focus on application of

Nanotechnology in Energy, Agriculture and Medicine.

There are currently two programmes being conducted by the School- the M.Phil-Ph.D(Nano Sciences) and

the M.Sc (Nano Technology).

(1) Bioscientific interventions in COVID 19 pandemic situation

(2) Role of Nanotechnology in therapeutic utility of basic Bioscience research

(3) Socio-economic paradigm of the management of pandemic conditions

(4) Biosafety and ethical issues related to the technology application

(5) Role of individual, society and state in combating the pandemic like conditions
