JAMMU, Feb 27: On sixth day of the week-long festival of science and technology “Vigyan Sarvatra Pujyate” at the University of Jammu, renowned physicist, Prof Rajni Kant, who is also Convener of the science-week program, talked on the topic “Past, Present, and Future of Radiation Technology and Application”.
During the talk, Prof Rajni Kant focused on X-ray radiation; its history, properties, and different applications. He introduced the audience to the applications of X-rays in material study, medical imaging, and treatment of cancers.
Towards the end of the lecture, he mentioned that space science, polymorphism crystal engineering, and pharmaceutical drug development are the few future applications of X-ray crystallography.
Dr Vishal Rai, Indian Institute of Science and Education Research, Bhopal, in his lecture on “Precision Engineering of Proteins Enabling Biology and Medicine” introduced the audience to various chemical technologies that enable precise control over the site of bioconjugation. He discussed at a length the chemical operation mechanism of the nucleophile and its behavior which explored a state-of-the-art platform that offered homogeneous antibody-drug conjugates (ADC’s) for cancer chemotherapy. The lecture also hopes for the possibility of precision therapeutics with small molecules.
