Fourth lecture:

Perpectual challenge of emerging infectious diseases : preparing for the unexpected.

 

The incidence of emerging infectious diseases in humans has increased within the recent past or threatens to increase in the near future. Dr. Ciraj A.M, Professor of Microbiology, MMMC, Director, M-FAIMER international institute, MAHE, Manipal was conducted a session on Perpectual challenge of emerging infectious diseases : preparing for the unexpected.

 in interact 3A on 28/02/2018. Prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases will increasingly require the application of sophisticated epidemiologic and molecular biologic technologies, changes in human behaviour, a national policy on early detection and rapid response to emerging infections and a plan of action. WHO has made several recommendations for national response mechanisms. However, for a country of size and population of India, the emerging infections remain a real and present danger. Likewise, the talk delivered by Dr. Ciraj AM created an awareness among our delegates to be prepared for the emerging infectious diseases.

Fifth lecture:

Distinguished Lecture Series III last talk was given by Dr. Dhananjaya Kekude, Associate professor in Physics, and faculty in charge of Innovation center, from MIT MAHE, Manipal on Scanning Electron Microscope: Imaging with electrons. Scanning Electron Microscope is one of the microscopic techniques that provides image of a specimen by probing electrons on the surface of specimen. Delegates were able to understand the myths behind the electron microscope. The talk was really remarkable that we could unravel the hidden principles behind electron microscopic principle.

Sisth lecture:

Role of clinical laboratory technology in medical device development was conducted in interact 4D on 29/03/2018 by Dr. V S Venkatesan, Professor, Dept of Biomedical Engg. MIT, MAHE. As the roles of medical laboratory  technologists evolve in response to technologic advances and constraints it becomes essential to define the job competencies and responsibilities of each. The talk has provided a detailed structure about the development of medical devices. Sample devices brought by Dr Venkatesan has really entertained the delegates.
