Recent Advances in Toxicological studies:

Molecular and physiological aspects

27-28February, 2008

The studies on the adverse effects of foreign agents both in vitro and in vivo,on health of human, animal, plants and ecosystem are covered under broad area of toxicological studies. The seminar aims at providing a platform to the advances in sound scientific understanding of the mechanisms by which foreign substances adversely affect health. The basic principle and concepts in toxicology like dose,exposure,hazard,risk,indicators, biomarkers,etc. the experimentaland epidemiological methods to evaluate toxicity of chemicals,xenobioticabsorption, biotransformation and elimination, effects ofpollutants, pesticides,etc. and the methodology of risk assessment are certain key objectives that would be addressed during the seminar. The emphasis will beon the molecular basis of the toxic effects caused due to foreign agents in animals, plants and the ecosystems, their detoxification and remediation strategies with key examples.Animals and plants are not isolated rather exist as participants in complex environment. Those working in the areaof animal toxicity,phytotoxicity,genotoxicity,dealing with detecting the toxicological effects of chemical agents, the DNA damage and repair can be explored by the study of molecular modes of action of these compounds.Our objective is to provide opportunities to young researchers and students to comprehend and exchange ideas in the field of toxicology and the poster sessions during the symposium would assist the cause.The symposium has been designed in a way that it isexplicable by both the non members and members of the scientific community.

An extensive infrastructure facility (about 8000 sq .m floor area), Savitri Devi Dalmiya Vigyan Bhawan, has recently been created through the generous donation by a distinguished alumna of MMV. An interdisciplinary Masters Programme in Bioinformatics has been established in 2005 at MMV with UGC support under innovative programme.
