Amrita Centre for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine (ACNSMM), Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Kochi, has invested in a state of the art 3 cluster vacuum deposition tool for the research and development of solid state Li ion batteries.
For the first time fruit flies were infected with green fluorescent protein tagged bacteria at Amrita Centre for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine(ACNSMM), Kochi, in an exciting work that allows for rapid testing of antimicrobial drug efficacy
Scientists at Amrita Centre for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine (ACNSMM), Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Kochi, have developed a remarkable simulation of bone marrow, using synthetic biocompatible polymeric materials.
Amrita Center for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine (ACNSMM), Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham at Kochi, developed the first fully scalable process for making nano cloth and nano threads at rates up to several meters per minute.
Dr. Antonella Delle Fave, MD Professor at Faculty of Medicine, University of Milan, visited Amrita Centre for Advanced Research in Ayurveda (ACARA) at the Amrita School of Ayurveda. Antonella Delle Fave is a medical doctor specializing in Health Psychology.
Scientists at the Amrita Centre for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Kochi, have come a step closer to using photodynamic therapy for treating residual cancer cells of a high-grade brain tumour (glioblastoma). Photodynamic therapy uses a photosensitive drug that becomes active under the action of light and converts molecular oxygen into reactive oxygen species that kill cancer cells.
Amrita Centre for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine’s faculty member and research students won various awards at the 11th Asia Pacific Chitin and Chitosan Symposium and the 5th Indian Chitin and Chitosan Society Symposium organised by Indian Chitin and Chitosan Society and Marshall Marine Products, from September 28-30, 2016, at IMA House, Cochin, India.
Amrita Center for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine scientists Dr. Shantikumar V. Nair and Dr. Manzoor Koyakutty invented a technology that enables cancer detection in less than 30 minutes without a hospital visit. This will enable early diagnosis and treatment that are vital for curing several forms of the disease. The technology uses a laser with a nano substrate to detect pre-cancerous and cancerous cells.
Dr. R Jayakumar, Professor at Amrita Centre for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine, was selected for the MRSI Medal from Material Research Society of India for the year 2017, for his outstanding contribution to the field of Materials Science and Engineering.
Dr. Shantikumar V. Nair, Dean of Research, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and Director,Amrita Centre for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine, was felicitated by Shri Y. S. Chowdary, the Honourable Minister of State, Ministry of Science and Technology & Earth Sciences, for being a contributing member of Advisory Committee on Technology Vision 2035 for Medical Sciences & Healthcare, spearheaded by TIFAC (Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council), Govt. of India.
