INTRODUCTION
LSFI is one of the non-profit organizations established for the promotion and popularization of the emerging areas of
science and technology. As part of its educational programmes, LSFI introducing a new, innovative and cutting edge curricula
based Post-Graduate Diploma Course in Nano-Biotechnology (PGDNBT) through distance mode with the excellent expertise.
Nanobiotechnology being the new wave, has tremendous scope in many areas such as life sciences, biomedical, biotechnology
etc with high-tech skill technical approach like genetic engineering, tissue engineering, nanoengineering etc. There are rising
number of opportunities which explores the excellent and greater career prospects and employment opportunities

FEATURES OF COURSE
• PGDNBT aims to impart, promote & enhance the fundamental and applied knowledge of nano discipline.
• We intend to take the advanced education and science to the economically challenged students.
• Course is on distance mode for the period of one academic year (Jan-Dec) followed by the examination.
• Workshop / conference / seminar may be held at the end of the academic year. Guest faculties, re-known experts,
scientists of reputed institutions may deliver the series of lectures and interaction. Those who unable to attend the
workshop, may opt and submit assignments.
• The self learning study materials, books, CD will be provided free of cost. Students will be guided for placements and
career.
• Few scholarships are available for extraordinary students.
• Course fees is Rs.4450/- only (Concessional fees is Rs. 3950/- for Physically handicapped (PH), SC, ST, OBC & female
students).

COURSE CONTENT
The course necessarily includes basic principles of nanotechnology, spectroscopy, microscopy, methods and
instrumentation for measurements, fabrication and manipulation, manufacturing process. Further it is focused on the
essential fundamental knowledge about the nanobiotechnology and its advanced biomedical applications, covering
many topics such as current research interest, medical nanorobotics, artificial organ, DNA chip, Smart bomb for cancer,
Nanodiagnostic tool for cancer, treatment nanosystem for heart, nanosurgeries, nanomanipulation system,
nanofabrication, synthesis of nanomaterials, Nano drug delivery system, nanobiotechnology for HIV virus and its
diagnosis and treatment, biomems, gene chip, implants, tissue engineering. Smart materials, nano-surgery,
biocompatibilities, pharmaceutical Nanobiotechnolgy, industrial nanobiotechnology, nanobiophotonics,
nanobiotechnology in dentistry, agriculture, animal science etc. Many advanced topics covered would enhance curiosity

ABOUT COURSE

PG Diploma in Nanobiotechnology, is a unique programme, first of its kind throughout in India designed based on new,
innovative and cutting edge curricula to keep pace with the advancements happening in the nano science and nanobiotechnology. This
programme is currently being offered on distance mode and in the future planned to launch in-house degree and doctoral programmes.
Here each enrolled student will have an opportunity to contribute their best through array of STUDY PROGRAMMES embedded in this
course. They can build their career in many facets such as R&D, production, publications etc. The course fees are also kept at very
nominal and which is affordable to common poor and needy student to enter into the nano era ahead.

NANOBIOTECHNOLGY

Nanotechnology is one of the most future oriented technologies of the 21st century with multidisciplinary areas of application.
Nanobiotechnolgy is the convergence of technology with biology at the nano level. It has broad spectrum of applications in the areas of
modern bio-medical such as gene transfection, targeted drug delivery, diagnosis and treatment of various severe diseases like HIV,
cancer and genetic disorders. It promises low cost, high throughput, rapid analysis, technical feasibility, and small size with
biocompatibility. The future of Nanobiotechnolgy is bright with tremendous career opportunities for high skilled nanobiotech
professionals, in the fields of advanced research and development, scientific industries, pharmaceuticals, medical diagnosis and
treatment and even in space exploration.

COURSE CONTENTS
The course is covered with essential fundamental knowledge and basic principles of nanotechnology, instrumentation for
measurements, fabrication and manipulation, manufacturing process, medical Nanobiotechnolgy, diagnosis, biomems , nanochips, gene
chips , HIV Detection , cancer detection and treatment , implants , tissue engineering Smart materials, nano surgery, biocompatibilities,
