Report

Activity: Chem draw

Date: 30th August 2016

Time: 1:45-3:15pm

A lecture on "ChemDraw" was delivered by Dr. Neetu Khandelwal for all the M.Sc Students on 30th August 2016 at the IIS University Jaipur who wonderfully simplified the use of Chem Draw program which helped the students to efficiently draw simple two - dimensional representations of organic molecules, chemical formulae and reaction schemes required for their seminar reports, publications, and thesis.

 
Industrial Visit

Date: October 7, 2016

Timings: 10:30am - 2:30pm

Number of P.G. Students: 59

 

The visit to Mayur Uniquoters, Dhodsar was a wonderful experience for our students. The Mayur group guided them in small groups, taking them to all the plants and demonstrating them all the manufacturing departments. The students were enlightened about the knowledge of manufacturing of artificial leather/ PVC vinyl using 'Release Paper Transfer Coating Technology' and found the visit very relevant and useful for their subject chemistry. They gained various information’s about applications of organic solvents, copolymers and color pigments and the work of certain machineries like Circular Knitting Machines, Brazzoli Machines for washing and bleaching of the fabrics, Hot Slitter Machines, Stenter Machines and also how the manufactured products are inspected chemically and physically in laboratories.

 

They were made aware of the eco-friendly operations of the industry and its sustainable use of resources by means of Energy and Water Recovery System, Effluent Treatment Plant which ensures Zero Liquid Discharge to the environment.

Date: 2 March 2017

Time: 9:30

Venue: A.V. hall

Organized by: Department of Chemistry

Speaker: Dr. Pooran Chand

Details: Therachem Research Medilab, Sitapura Industrial Area, Jaipur

Title of the lecture: “Peramivir An Idea to Drug”

The session started with the welcome of Dr. Pooran Chand. He detailed about the the Influenza virus. It is highly contagious acute respiratory infection. He throw a light on the evolution in Influenza therapy. Targets for drug design for influenza are Hemaggalitein, Neuraminidase, M2 Proteins and Endonucleus. He has worked on the drug “peramivir”, a Neuraminidase inhibitor. He acquainted the students about an anti viral drug developed by biocryst pharmaceuticals for the treatment of influenza, acting as a transition state analogue inhibitor for influenza neuraminidase, thereby preventing new viruses emerging from infected cells.

He discussed the synthesis and mechanism of the drug and its bioavailability. Peramivir is used to treat influenza in adults who have flu symptoms for up to 2 days. The medicine should be given within the first 2 days when flu symptoms start. He stated that it is usually given as a single dose. He also explained the side effects of Peramivir like confusion, hallucinations, unusual behavior or thoughts. Peramivir will not treat an infection caused by bacteria or fungus.

Report

 

Innovations in chemical sciences has crossed the boundaries of multiple branches emerging with new dimensions of understanding and applications and with this aim the Department of chemistry, The IIS University has organised a 2 day national conference from 18-19 january 2017 on “New Vistas in Chemical Research”.
 
The scope of the conference has been kept broad based with the intention that the young research scholars and PG students can get exposed to the contemporary topics of research. The conference commenced at 10:00 am  on 18 Jan. 2017 with the inaugural session seeking the blessings of almighty followed by lighting up the lamp by all the dignitaries on the dais, after which the conference patron Dr. Ashok Gupta extended the warm welcome to all  the resource persons, , delegates, and  participants. It was followed  by the release of  Science Spectrum and the IISU Journal  of science and technology.
 
Prof. R.K. Bansal, conference director acquainted the audience with the aims and objectives of the conference and introduced Prof. Walter Thiel and Prof. Goverdhan Mehta. Prof. Mehta gave an inaugural lecture on the Dimensionality of chemistry: a science for global sustainability in the 21 century. He emphasized the role of chemists to provide sustainability in environment, energy and agriculture.

Report

Date : 23 Aug. 2015

Time : 10:00 am-12:00 noon

Venue : E-201

Speaker : Prof. P.V.Bharatam, Department of Medicinal Chemistry, NIPER, S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali), Punjab

 

Prof.  Bharatam gave an insight into the basics of quantum chemistry and computational chemistry. He explained the simple methods to solve Schrodinger wave equation. Besides this he also explained the basics of computational chemistry and its applications in medicinal chemistry. He aquainted the students with the recent advances in drug discovery especially in designing and developing anti cancer drugs. He also focussed on the various aspects like design and synthesis of anti diabetic agents, studies in drug metabolism and toxicity mechanism behind drug encapsulation predicting solubilization and release trend, drug dendrimer, electronic structure of guanidines.

Report

 

Date : 14 Sep 2015

Time : 10:00 am

Venue : AV Hall

Speaker : Dr Neelima Gupta, Department of Chemistry, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur

 

She delivered lecture covering the various aspects of scientific writing. She discussed about the systematic way and different steps of scientific writing, collection of observations, their interpretation and applications. The important aspect of scientific writing is that one must remember about the successful delivery of work to the reader. In a scientific article every part of an article is important. There should be a flow in a scientific article, introduction must be interesting and the interest must be followed up to the conclusion. She also explained the procedure for the selection of an appropriate journal for submission of a manuscript, submission procedure and their editorial procedure. The lecture was very beneficial for the students.
