ABE - 2011

On 9 June, 2011 Deptt. of Biomedical Engineering, at Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurgaon organized a one - day AICTE Sponsored workshop on Applications of Biomedical Engineering (ABE - 2011). The Chief - Guest Dr. Sneha Anand Head, CBME, IIT Delhi inaugurated the workshop by lighting the lamp followed by welcome address by Hon’ble Principal Prof. (Dr.) B. M. K. Prasad.

Addressing the participants, Dr. Sneha Anand summed up that Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering principles and methods to a wide array of problems associated with human health. The field includes the design of biocompatible materials, prostheses, surgical implants, artificial organs, controlled drug - delivery systems, and wound closure devices. Encouraging the scholars, she stated that one must introspect and motivate oneself to bring out something innovative for the services of mankind and environment.

Appreciating the organizing committee, Hon’ble Principal Prof. (Dr.) B. M. K. Prasad stated that such workshops, seminars, conferences encourage the scholars to gain exposure to the breadth and depth of Biomedical Engineering.

The entire workshop was divided into two technical sessions. The first session was covered by a renowned entrepreneur Mr. Pankaj Sharma, M. D. Lead India Pvt. Ltd. New Delhi. He delivered a talk on “Transition of Bio - Medical From Lab to Market”. In the second session, Mr. Abhinav, M. D. (Cardea Biomedical Technologies Limited, New Delhi), Dr. Ashok Jaryal, Additional Professor (Deptt. of Physiology, AIIMS, New Delhi) and Dr. Dinesh Bhatia, from Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science & Technology, Murthal shared their views on various applications of Biomedical Engineering. They said that biomedical engineers can derive creative satisfaction by designing prosthetics, synthetic blood vessels, automated patient monitoring systems, blood chemistry sensors, ultrasound, and artificial intelligence for clinical decisions.

This workshop was a confluence of intellectuals of high level in the field of Biomedical Engineering. Professors, research scholars, students from various colleges attended this workshop and explored how the ideas may be converted into Science & Technology.

The workshop (ABE - 2011) ended with a vote of thanks by the Convener Prof. (Dr.) D. P. Singh, Head, Deptt. Of Biomedical Engineering.
