BIOTIKOS 2017 “Trends in Nanobiotechnology”
TERI UNIVERSITY
The TERI University was established to disseminate the vast reservoir of
knowledge devised by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), a not-for-profit,
independent research institute recognized globally for its contribution to scientific
and policy research in the realms of energy, environment and sustainable
development. The TERI University’s academic offering is rooted in the
comprehensive research, consultancy, and outreach activities of TERI.
In 1999, the University was granted the “Deemed to be University” status by
the University Grants Commission (UGC) and notified vide the Ministry of Human
Resources Development, Department of Education, Government of India,
notification no. F.9/19/95-U-3, dated October 5, 1999. The University aspires to be
an institution of advanced learning which meets the needs of a rapidly growing
India. The academic programs are envisioned to provide the students with a
holistic perspective of the subjects offered and encourage interdisciplinary
learning.
BIOTOKOS 2017
The Greek word “Biotikos” means “matters pertaining to life”. Biotikos is an
annual biotechnology seminar organized by TERI University Biotechnology
Society (TUBS). This comprises of masters and doctoral level students sharing a
commitment of generating awareness about latest breakthroughs and current issues
in the field of Biotechnology. Biotikos was initiated in the year 2011 and was
inaugurated by Dr. M.S. Swaminathan. Since then this program is organized each
year to encourage students to pursue education and research in Biotechnology and
contribute to research and development in this fascinating area.

TRENDS IN NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY- BOTIKOS 2017
TERI University Biotechnology Society is organizing an event on 28th-29th
September 2017. The theme of the event is “TRENDS IN
NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY”. The objective of TERI University Biotechnology
Society (TUBS) is to highlight the important role played by biotechnology in the
modern society, and its relevance to the contemporary imperative of sustainable
development. Biotikos 2017 is being organized by the students and faculty
Department of Plant Biotechnology, TERI University, to discuss and debate the
promises and challenges of Nanobiotechnology. The proposed event is aimed at
enlightening science undergraduates/post-graduate students and teachers about the
upcoming areas in Nanobiotechnology and its applications in different scientific
fields. Nanobiotechnology is growing as an independent discipline and it is adding
a new dimension for the growth of biotechnology Perhaps, nanobiotechnology is
most revolutionary and multidisciplinary field of modern science and has great
impact on society through various applications in medical, imaging and sensor
development. Nanobiotechnology, with the help of medical and biotechnological
tools, has been used to diagnose, image and deliver the drug to target cells. In
multifunctional therapeutics, it offers a platform to expedite its specific targeting to
tumor tissue and delivery of an effective treatment, with negligible harm to healthy
cells. Nano-integrated sensors are being developed to identify the harmful
microbes like Salmonella, and other contaminants on food products before
packaging and intake. Nano scale bio molecules such as protein, nucleic acid and
biopolymers regulate and control biological systems with incredible precision. This
event includes a series of lectures, panel discussion, quiz and poster presentation
across various domains of Nanobiotechnology such as nanomaterial,
nanobioscience, nanomedicine, agriculture, environmental nanobiotechnology,
nanobiosensors, etc.

Subject: Invitation for TRENDS IN NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY- BIOTIKOS 2017,
September 28-29, 2017.
Dear Sir\Madam
Greetings from TERI University!
TERI University was established and recognized by the University Grants
Commission (UGC) as a deemed to be University in 1999. In the period since its inception,
the University has developed and evolved as a research university exploring the frontiers of
knowledge in areas of major significance to human endeavor. The University commits itself
to academic excellence and an environment, which encourages innovative and multi-
disciplinary research and teaching. It offers academic programmes in several key disciplines
including Plant Biotechnology, Public Policy, Sustainable Development, Infrastructure
Management, Natural Resources Management, Environmental Studies, Water Resource
Management, Geoinformatics and Climate Science.
TERI University Biotechnology Society is organizing a symposium on September 21-22,
2017. The theme of conference is “TRENDS IN NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY”.
The proposed event is aimed at enlightening science undergraduate/post-graduate students
and teachers about the upcoming areas in Nanobiotechnology and its application in different
scientific fields. The two day program will provide a platform for students to interact with
representatives from academia, research and industry. The event will provide an opportunity
for the students and teachers to discuss more about the uses of Bioinformatics in their
respective streams.
The second day will be dedicated to participatory events such as a quiz and poster
presentation by college students. The objective of organizing this symposium is to sensitize
young students on the potential of Nanobiotechnology and to make them informed regarding
the opportunities of new technology.
This letter is to invite you and students from your department for the “TRENDS IN
NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY- BIOTIKOS 2017” being organized in TERI University
campus on September 28-29, 2017.
We look forward to enthusiastic participation from your college. The tentative
program is attached.

of medical and biotechnological tools has been used to diagnose, image and deliver the drug
to target cell. In multifunctional therapeutics, it offers a platform to expedite its specific
targeting to tumor tissue and delivery of an effective treatment, with negligible harm to
healthy cells. Nano based microfluidic chip concept lies under the umbrella of
nanobiotechnology to study and manipulate the performance of microscopic world of living
systems. Nano integrated sensors are being developed to identify the harmful microbes like
Salmonella, and other contaminants on food products before packaging and intake. Nano
