Nano Biotechnology: Applications, Recent Developments , Future prospects and Challenges NBARD 2019

The general physical, chemical, electrical, biological & optical properties of materials changewhen macroscale materials are converted into nanoscale & these nano materials have unique
properties & behave in a peculiar way. This opens-up vast areas for applications & innovation of new technologies collectively termed as nanotechnology &permeated in all the fields of science & technology. It involves design, characterization, production & application of materials/structures with enormous physicochemical properties, devices & systems by controlling shape & size at nanometer scale. Nano-biotechnology an highly inter & multi disciplinary research area, plays a crucial role in application research & in delivering environmental friendly efficient products & processes. Understanding the physico-chemical interactions of various molecular materials & their performance in biological systems presents a broad range of research problems within nano biotechnology area. It has a wide spectrum of applications in the field of therapeutic, diagnostics, agriculture, food, textile, prosthetic & cosmetics. Due to its increasing importance in bringing revolutionary benefit to our society, it is necessary to have an exposure on the recent developments on nano-biotechnology research & applications through conferences & collaborative research activities by bringing physicists, chemists, biologists, biotechnologists, industrialists& clinicians on a common platform for engaging in knowledge exchange towards targeted innovations through nano-biotechnology interventions. The two days conference is oriented towards the above mentioned initiative & will serve as an excellent platform for students, scholars, academicians & industrialist to interact, share& discuss the current & potential peers in nano-biotechnology research. Eminent professors, scientists, researchers & industrial experts from academia, research labs & industries will be delivering lectures on various areas of nano-biotechnology: research, applications, its future  prospects & challenges. Research papers are invited for oral/ poster presentations
