National Training Workshop on Nanomaterials & One Day Symposium on Nanotechnology in Pakistan; Recent Trends & Developments

Training Workshop:

Training workshop on nanomaterials will be held for two days from 14-12-2015 (Monday) to 15-12-2015 (Tuesday) and following activities will be focused;

Training on FESEM, TEM, AFM, Dynamic Light Scat-tering (Zetasizer), Atomic Absorption Spectropho-tometer, UV-Visible Spectrophotometer (Nanodrop), Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) , Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope by

I- Practical Demonstration II- Animations/Movies/Videos

Applications of Nanomaterials such as Latent Fingerprints Development, Sensing Properties, Cyclic Voltammetry, Ames test for toxicity of NPs, etc

One Day Symposium:

One Day Symposium on Nanotechnology will be held on

16-12-2015 (Wednesday) and people working in any

aspect/area of nanotechnology may present their work

in the symposium. Presenters may address the follow-

ing important areas but not necessarily limited to these

ones.

Current Scenario and future prospects of Nanotech-nology in Pakistan

Nanomaterials; Carbon based Nanomaterials, Bioma-terials, magnetic materials, optical materials, poly-mers, composites, etc with useful & novel morpholo-gies like Nanowires, Nanorods, Nanotubes, etc.

Synthesis techniques; Hydrothermal, Solvothermal , Laser Ablation, Self-Assembly, CVD, Co-Precipitation, Sol-Gel, Green Tech, Bio-Synthesis, etc..

Applications: Drug Delivery, Bio-imaging, Diagnos-tics, Photocatalysis, Sensing, Forensics, Antibacterial & Antimicrobial activities of nanomaterials, etc.

Device Fabrication using Nanotech Approach

NOTE. Beginners, students and professionals just starting their career are highly encouraged.

Nanotechnology has recently emerged as most vi-

brant area of science, technology and engineering

which exhibits great potential of applications in di-

versified sectors such as Health, Food & Agriculture,

Textile, Electronics, Environment, Energy, Biomedi-

cal , etc. National Institute for Biotechnology and Ge-

netic Engineering (NIBGE) has established a strong

infrastructure to carry out cutting edge research re-

lated with this promising field. Nanobiotechnology

Group (NBT) at NIBGE is a dynamic and active group

equipped with the most sophisticated characteriza-

tion techniques such as Field Emission Scanning Elec-

tron Microscopy (FESEM), Atomic Force Microscopy

(AFM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Dy-

namic Light Scattering (Zeta Sizer Nano), etc. We are

immensely delighted to announce a National Train-

ing Workshop on Nanomaterials as well as One

Day Symposium on Nanotechnology at NIBGE.

Training workshop will include lectures and demon-

strations/animations whereas in symposium invited

lectures/talks will be delivered by the active & ex-

perienced people of the field. Few of the participants

of the workshop having good profile may be given a

chance to present their research work in the sympo-

sium. We hope that this event will provide all the

participants with a good opportunity to establish

collaborations with NIBGE and institutes/

universities of the participants.
