28th Jun, 2017 at AIIMS, New Delhi

Nanobiotechnology holds considerable promise to address various issues related to ophthalmic disorders such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age related macular degeneration and other such diseases especially those affecting posterior segment of an eye. Nano enabled system and devices can find novel therapeutic solutions for crossing blood retina barrier and make sustained availability of drugs in desired therapeutic concentration in different compartments of eye.

This workshop was organized by Department of Biotechnology, GoI, in partner with ISNM and was attended by 10 outstation experts from Narayan Nethrayal, Shankar Netrayala, Aditya Jyoti, PGI- Chandigarh, SASTRA University, IIT – Kanpur, Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, Arvind Eye Hospital and 12 local experts from AIIMS, JNU, IIT – Delhi, INMAS and Ganga Ram Hospital.
