During the last few years, a
large number of Indian research institutes and universities have initiated
programs on DNA analysis and our researchers are increasingly using
sophisticated instruments (such as laser based flow cytometers and cell
sorters) and procedures in their investigations. Laser flow cytometry has
become an essential and integral part of investigations on genome analysis and
in the field of nanotechnology.
Approximately 700 flow cytometers are functional in different parts of
the country and are increasingly being used for varied applications. However, training for use of these
instruments and for quality control is lacking as the manufacturers train up to
two operators at the time of instrument purchase. There are no organized
courses or facilities for researcher to learn current approaches in flow
cytometry. This workshop attempts to
address this deficiency by bringing together faculty from India and abroad with
selected Indian researchers for teaching of latest flow cytometric methods and
its application in the field of nanotechnology and genome analysis. This workshop through lectures from podium,
panel discussions and tutorials along with actual wet lab demonstrations will
fulfill the need for technology transfer and teaching of latest methods in flow
cytometry.
By interfacing world known
faculty from India and abroad in this workshop we seek to impart teaching in
latest methods for quantification of nuclear DNA in actively dividing cells
including cancer cells. Special emphasis
will be put on new methods which identify ploidy level and studies concerning
the role of C-value in growth and development.
The workshop is organized by the
Department of Biotechnology, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India
jointly with Miller School of Medicine, Maimi USA from 8-10 October 2012. The
workshop is being held at IIT Guwahati
