COMSTECH to launch international workshops on nanomedicine and bio-ethics education in Pakistan
Organization of Islamic Conference Standing Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation (COMSTECH), in collaboration with Higher Education Commission of Pakistan and National Institute for Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering Pakistan, is organizing an international workshop on nanomedicine during 13 – 20 March at COMSTECH building, Islamabad. Along side, COMTECH is also organizing a national workshop on “Bioethics Education in Pakistan” from March 27-29 March, 2008.
International nanomedicine workshop is being organized to provide a platform for researchers from universities and research institutes of OIC member states to share their knowledge and develop collaborative research programs in nanomedicine. Young faculty members/doctors, researchers and senior students already working at the interface of nanoscience, nanomedicine or nanobiotechnology are eligible to apply for participation. The aspiring participants are required to have at least masters’ degree in physical/biological sciences or bachelor degree in medicine with one year of research experience. COMSTECH has notified universities and research institutes of OIC region to send maximum two nominations.
The workshop on “Bio-ethics education in Pakistan” is being organized in collaboration with Higher Education Commission of Pakistan and Center of Biomedical Ethics and Culture (CBEC) of Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation. The objective of this workshop is to familiarize healthcare professionals and other stakeholders with ethical frameworks in clinical care.
The health care professionals including physicians, nurses, hospital administrators, policy makers and social scientists have been invited to attend the workshop. However, plenary session on March 27 is open to all without registration. Those nominated will be selected on the basis of affiliation with an academic institution and involvement in research or teaching.
Limited number of boarding, lodging and economy fare for both workshops shall be provided by COMSTECH to only outside participants.
