Mangalayatan University E-News Letter by PR Unit

Department of Science and Technology has approved an ambitious joint project of Mangalayatan University (MU) and Aligarh Muslim (AMU) University to develop cheap and user friendly diagnostic kit for early detection of Rheumatoid Fever and heart diseases. One of the Principal Investigators Dr. Nishi Sharma of the Institute of BioMedical Education and Research (IBMER) of MU told, "We are working in tandem with Dr. Mohammad Owais of Interdisciplinary Unit of Biotechnology (IUB) at AMU. We have

submitted the project titled "Development of an Effective and

Early Diagnostic Gadget/Tool to control Prevalence of Rheumatic

Heart Disease. The total cost of the project is 60.63 lakhs".

Buoyed with approval of the project Dr. Nishi further

informed, "On the successful c completion of the project we will be

able to fabricate cheap

a n d u s e r f r i e n d l y

diagnostic kit that will

help in early detection and diagnosis of Group A streptococcus (GAS), which is a major cause of mortality rate in India and other developing countries." The thrust area of the project is to develop a particular protein or gene that forms the basis of the treatment in future.

A rare but potentially life-threatening disease, rheumatic

fever is a complication of untreated strep throat caused by bacteria

called Group A streptococcus. The main symptoms -- fever, muscle

aches, swollen and painful joints, and in some cases, a red, lattice-

like rash -- typically begin two to four weeks after a bout of strep. In

some cases, though, the infection may have been too mild to have

been recognized.

Vice Chancellor of MU Brig. (Dr.) Surjeet S. Pabla

congratulated both faculty members on clinching such an ambitious project. "It is very useful and our country will benefit a lot from this kit." He encouraged other faculty members to follow the footsteps of Dr. Nishi.
