National Symposium on Snake Venom Research and Snake-bite Therapy | Tezpur University
A 2 day National symposium on " Snake Venom Research and Snake-bite Therapy : National & International Perspectives" will be held on 18-19 December 2009 at Tezpur University, Assam. This event is organized by the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Tezpur University and is sponsored by DBT and ICMR, New Delhi.
Characterization of biochemical and pharmacological properties of these proteins and polypeptides is important to understand their pharmacological effects during envenomation and also for snakebite treatment. Furthermore, these proteins and polypeptides have served as valuable research tools for therapeutic applications. The major themes of the symposium are :
- Biochemistry/Bioinformatics/Molecular Biology of snake venom proteins/ enzymes/ toxins
- Evolution of snake venom proteins and toxins
- Pathophysiology and treatment of snakebite
- Medical/biotechnological/diagnostic application of snake venom peptides
- Green medicine for snake bite
- Biology of Snakes and snakes in India
