Nanomaterials for Biological Applications

 

Date: 14^th  April 2011, 10:00 – 13:00 BST (GMT+1); 14.30-17.30 IST India

 

The ICPC NanoNet project stimulates global networking in nanoscience and nanotechnology and hosts online workshops to allow scientists and researchers to showcase their work and collaborate with others. This online workshop on ‘Nanomaterials for Biological Applications’ will enable nanoscientists working in this field to meet and find out about each others expertise and research interests.

The invited speakers include Prof M. Eswaramoorthy, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore, Prof. Chandrabhas Narayana, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore and Prof. D. Bahadur, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.  The prospective audience consists of nanoscientists specialising in materials and their applications from India, International Cooperation Partner Countries to the EU (emerging economies and developing countries) and elsewhere.
