GUEST LECTURE ON CLINICAL AND CANCER BIOLOGY RESEARCH
The Departments of Botany and Microbiology organized a guest lecture on the scope and importance of clinical research and cancer biology study on 8th January, 2015.
The theme of the programme is explained by Dr. B. Siva Kumari, Department of Botany. Later Mr. Suresh, Research associate from Stanford University delivered a talk on the importance of developing and improving communication skills such as adaptability, presentation skills, team leadership etc. He also encouraged students to be positive and to face boldly any situation.

Mr. Suresh stressed on the importance of the scope and importance of clinical trials in clinical research. He clearly explained about ongoing work on clinical trials and oncological research with vivid examples. Unlike traditional training programs, the Cancer Biology program places an emphasis on bridging the gap between laboratory and clinic through a curriculum incorporating both basic science and clinical researchers. In an era where research funding is increasingly focused on the practical applications of scientific findings, it is critically important that students are aware of how scientific discoveries are converted into therapeutic agents. In addition to a comprehensive curriculum focused on pressing problems in cancer research, the Cancer Biology program offers a two-tiered mentoring system that is invaluable to students by giving them actual clinical experience to foster new research ideas that may back-propagate to the laboratory. He said that it is important for every student to have an idea and knowledge on managerial skills.
Students of III B.Sc Biotechnology, Microbiology and Botany students were involved in this programme. The faculty members Mr. P. Srinivasa Rao, Mr. K Bala Chandra and Ms. Glory coordinated the programme.
