The biological sciences in India

چکیده
India is gearing up to become an international player in the life sciences, powered by its recent economic growth and a desire to add biotechnology to its portfolio. In this article, we present the history, current state, and projected future growth of biological research in India. To fulfill its aspirations, India's greatest challenge will be in educating, recruiting, and supporting its next generation of scientists. Such challenges are faced by the US/Europe, but are particularly acute in developing countries that are racing to achieve scientific excellence, perhaps faster than their present educational and faculty support systems will allow.

Isolation and molecular characterization of bacteria to heavy metals isolated from soil samples in Bokaro Coal Mines, India
In recent years, environmental pollution by coal mining is a long-established human activity affecting all levels of life with various environmental impacts by generating heavy metals. The presence of heavy metals even in trace amount is toxic and detrimental to all living organisms. The coal mine area in Bokaro is one of the “Toxic Hotspot” in India. Bacteria have evolved uptake and efflux mec...

متن کاملSynthesis and Biological Activity of Certain Mannich Bases Derivatives from 1, 2, 4-Triazoles
Substituted 1, 2, 4- Triazoles have shown multiple biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti fungal, etc. 5-mercapto triazoles were prepared from the potassium dithiocarbazinates. These triazoles were used for preparation of different derivatives by two different schemes. In the first scheme the Mannich bases were prepared from 5- marcapto-s triazole Quinazolines. The 5-Marcato-s-Tr...
متن کاملα-Lipoic Acid Mitigates Arsenic-Induced Hematological Abnormalities in Adult Male Rats
Background: Arsenic toxicity is a major global health problem and exposure via contaminated drinking water has been associated with hematological and other systemic disorders. The present investigation has been conducted in adult male rats to evaluate the protective ability of α-lipoic acid (ALA) against such hematological disorders.Methods: Twenty-four adult male Wister rats (b.wt.130±10g) wer...
متن کاملHematological and Biological Markers of Neonatal Sepsis
Septicemia in neonates is the commonest cause of mortality. Early recognition and diagnosis of neonatal sepsis remains a challenge because of the variable and nonspecific clinical presentation. The laboratory criteria are often non specific and not fully reliable. The objective of this review is to highlight the various hematological and biological markers of neonatal sepsis. We searched ...
متن کاملIn-vivo Anticonvulsant and In-vitro Antitubercular Activity of methyl Indole Derivative of some 6-aryl-4, 5-Dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-ones and their Expected Anticonvulsant Mechanisms
Methyl indole derivative of some 6-aryl-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-ones (3a-e) were synthesized by Mannich reaction and evaluated as anticonvulsant against MES (50mA, for 2sec), INH (250mg/kg), scPTZ (80mg/kg) and STR (3mg/kg) induced convulsion methods at 50 mg/kg dose level. All compounds 3a-e were also evaluated as antitubercular agent against M. tuberculosis H37Rv by MABA method. All compou...
