Introduction:
Dr. Panjwani
Center for Molecular Medicine and Drug Research (PCMD), International Center for Chemical
and Biological Sciences
(ICCBS), University of Karachi, in collaboration with Sindh Innovation, Research, and Education
Network (SIREN) and COMSTECH regularly organizes popular
lectures on the topics of general interest and need.
PCMD-Royan
Institute Webinar Series (Hybrid) is being jointly organized by Dr. Panjwani
Center for Molecular Medicine and Drug Research, Royan Institute, Iran,
COMSTECH, MSTF, and SIREN. The webinar series is based on the current topics of
Biomedical Sciences. The series will provide basic as well as advanced
knowledge, skills and academic connections and expert opinions from renowned
researchers of both institutes.
PCMD:
The
Panjwani Center for Molecular Medicine and Drug Research (PCMD) is a
constituent center of the International Center for Chemical and Biological
Science (ICCBS). The main objective of the Center is to is to develop an
understanding regarding common diseases in Pakistan in order to develop
effective diagnostic tools and affordable treatments by using molecular
medicinal, chemical and computational methods and to train highly qualified
manpower in the emerging new fields of molecular medicine and drug development.
Royan Institute:
The Royan Institute is an Iranian clinical,
research and educational institute dedicated to biomedical, translational and
clinical researches, stem cell research and infertility treatment. It is a
public non-profitable organization affiliated to Academic Center for Education,
Culture and Research. It was established in 1991 by the late Dr. Saeid
Kazemi Ashtiani as a research institute for Reproductive Biomedicine and
infertility treatments. In 1998 this institute was approved by Ministry of
Health as Cell Based Research Center with over 46 scientific members and 186
lab technicians.
Seventh
Webinar:
The seventh webinar of the series is entitled:
" Applications of Computational Methods in Drug
Screening and Design"
Who Should Attend?
