nanoparticles are usually improved for therapeutic value of various water
soluble/insoluble active ingredients and bioactive molecules by modifying
bioavailability, solubility and retention time. These nanoparticles–drug formulation
reduces the patient expenses, and risks of toxicity. Nanoencapsulation of
nanomedicines increases drug efficacy, specificity, tolerability and therapeutic index
of corresponding drugs which have many advantages in the protection of premature
degradation, interaction with the biological environment, enhancement of absorption
into a selected tissue, bioavailability, retention time and improvement of intracellular
penetration.

9. X-ray Crystallography (11th June to 29th June 2018)

course code: SDP_NCL09

X-ray crystallography is the most powerful method for determining accurate and
precise crystal structures of small as well as macromolecules (protein, peptide,
nucleic acids, polymer, etc.). Crystallographers discovered that crystals, because of
their regular arrangement of atoms, scattered the rays in just a few specific
directions. By measuring these directions and the intensity of the scattered beams,
scientists were able to determine a three-dimensional structure of the crystal. Single-
crystal X-ray crystallography is widely considered to be the standard for establishing
the structures of crystalline solids. This method is used to establish patent claims,
establish structure-property relationships for new compounds, and many other
applications. However, powder crystallography instrumentation and data analysis
software have emerged over the past 30 years as powerful methods for investigating
the structures of materials that cannot be studied with single-crystal methods.
Powder methods are used in a wide variety of investigations, including forensic
analyses, identifying components of mixtures, and identifying properties of polymers
and other poorly crystallized materials. X-ray crystallography has become the
leading technique for studying the atomic structure and related properties of
materials. It is now at the centre of advances in many fields of science. In the last
century, crystallography has been a primary force in driving major advances in the
detailed understanding of materials, synthetic chemistry, the understanding of basic
principles of biological processes, genetics, and has contributed to major advances
in the development of drugs for numerous diseases. As a science, crystallography
has produced 28 Nobel Prizes, more than any other scientific field.

characterization and release studies of active molecules

(8th October to 26th October 2018)

course code: SDP_NCL16

Active molecules (pesticides, drugs, nutrients, perfumes, detergents, proteins,
peptides, etc.) when exposed to unfavourable conditions the molecules may
become unstable, inactive and vary the physical or chemical properties. To avoid
the above effects and to maintain the shelf life of the active molecules an inert
supporting material is essential. The supporting material could be based on polymer
or inorganic materials or combination of both. Depending on the suitability of the
active molecules, the matrices and encapsulation in macro, micro and nano forms
can be designed. In this workshop we describe the methods involved in preparation,
characterization and analysis of the matrices and encapsulates. And also
demonstrate methods to estimate the qualitative analysis of active molecules.
Instruments involved in these studies: HPLC, LC-MS, UV-visible
spectrophotometer, FTIR spectroscopy, electrospinning unit, tablet dissolution test
and optical microscope (instruments as mentioned will be used for characterization
of active molecules).

17. Beyond Genomes: Functional genomics and genome editing
technologies, and their applications (17th September to 5th October 2018 )

course code: SDP_NCL17

With the advent of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, it has become
extremely easy and economical to generate genomic DNA sequence data. This is
also being complemented by RNA sequencing, which provides unprecedented
resolution in the analysis of gene expression and its regulation. However, it has
become a challenge to analyze and mine the wealth of sequence data that is being
generated in today’s laboratories, in addition to the open access data that is
available in the public domain. Looking into the future, it is obvious that genomics
based biotechnology applications will play a huge role in human health / disease
diagnostics, agriculture and animal husbandry. Moreover, the recent advancements
in genome editing technologies has the potential to revolutionize these areas by
enhancing and simplifying our ability to engineer and deploy genetically modified
organisms (transgenic species) for R & D purpose as well as for several
biotechnology applications.
The aim of this workshop/course is to familiarize the participants with the various
NGS technologies and help them learn to mine the genomic and transcriptomics
data for comparative and functional genomics studies. The topics covered will
include mining genome sequence data for disease diagnostics, comparative
genomics for phenotype to genotype correlations, transcriptomics data analysis for
gene expression studies, genome editing technologies (including CRISPR/Cas9 and
its variations), and applications of genomics in industry.

18. Density Function Theory (DFT) for chemists and physicists

(2nd July to 20th July 2018)

course code: SDP_NCL18

Density functional theory (DFT) is a state-of-the-art computational method for
bringing out correlation between the structure and properties within the systems
ranging from molecules to surfaces to bulk. It is the most widely used methodology in
chemistry and materials science for understanding processes, mechanisms and
response properties. Employing DFT, one can understand why one chemical
reaction happens and another does not, and thus is extremely useful in predicting
the properties of newly developed molecules and materials. This course will provide
all the necessary know-how, starting from an elementary level, of the fundamental
concepts of DFT, as well as how one can apply it for solving problems in physics and
chemistry. In the course, both atom centered and plane wave based methods will be
covered.
