Under the patronage of the President of the University of Technology
Prof. Dr. Amin Daway Thamir, the Nanotechnology and Advanced
Materials Research Center held a scientific symposium on
(Nanotechnology applications in bio-medical fields) on18/5/2017 in
the presence of a number of heads of scientific departments,
directors of centers and representatives of Iraqi universities.
The scientific symposium was opened by the President of the
University of Technology Prof. Dr. Amin Daway Thamir, who stressed
in a speech on the occasion the need to open up to the industrial
and productive sector, especially the oil sector, and to work to
promote the applications of nanotechnology in oil and gas projects.
He added that the University of Technology has achieved a lot of
important scientific achievements and the most recent was the
exhibition of energy inventions, which was held by the Ministry of
Oil, during which the University received a large collection of
medals and awards.
The scientific symposium was chaired by Prof. Dr. Wessam Kadhm
Hamdan, Head of the Department of Medical Engineering and Assist.
Lecture Eissa Dham Chaloob. The symposium included three lectures,
the first was entitled "Applications of Nanotechnology in Stem Cells
and Textile Agriculture", delivered by Prof. Dr. Bahaa Al-Din Fakhri
Hussein, Associate Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine,
University of Baghdad, and Dr. Khairiya Kadhem Habib from College of
Veterinary Medicine. The lecturer addressed the importance of tissue
culture and stem cells in compensating limbs for living organisms,
including humans. The second lecture, entitled "Drag Delivery Using
Magnetic Nanomaterials" Ali Abdul Wahab Aati from the Nanotechnology
Research Center. , Which discussed the uses of nanotechnology and
nanomaterials in the delivery of drugs and methods of treatment of
cancerous diseases. The third lecture was entitled (Nano sections in
the human body) delivered by Dr. Salah Hassan.
Dr. Khalid Ajmi Sukkar, Director of the Nanotechnology Center
said that the Symposium, which is held annually by the Center,
includes the latest scientific developments in the applications of
nanotechnology in the field of bio medicine, through which
appropriate solutions are developed to deal with many of the
incurable diseases and the development of new drugs, Which is based
on nanotechnology.
The scientific symposium came out with a number of scientific
recommendations aimed at promoting the opening of horizons of
scientific cooperation with the health sector in order to promote
the use of nanotechnology nanomaterials to solve health problems and
treat human cases. In conclusion, the certificates were distributed
to the lecturers and to the presided over.
