President of International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) and Vice Chancellor of Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) on Wednesday showed grave concern over recent financial cuts in the annual grant to the universities. At the 4th International Conference on Fluid Dynamics both of them were of the view that the financial cuts would have very adverse effects on the functioning and R&D activities of the universities and hoped that the government would reconsider its decision in this regard. While speaking on the occasion IIUI President Dr. Anwaar Siddique welcomed the dignitaries and delegates to the IIU for exchange of research contributions and promised to do every thing possible to promote this collaboration. QAU Vice Chancellor Masoom Yasinzai in his remarks appreciated the collaboration between the two universities in organising the conference and assured full support to promote research in all disciplines through mutual collaboration. Some 38 reputed mathematicians from Pakistan and abroad would present their latest research work on current issues related to Mathematical Modelling. The research papers would focus on various critical applied areas such as oil exploration process, energy extraction from geothermal regions, filtration process, blood circulation and drug permeation through human skin. The researchers would also deliberate over advancement in the construction of analytical solutions to the nonlinear differential systems in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid dynamics, rotating and magneto hydrodynamic regimes, flow analysis, phenomena of geophysical and Cosmical Fluid Dynamics. |

Pakistani student selected for L'Oreal Fellowship at University of Cambridge
lshrat BANO a PhD student in Bionanotechnology at the Quaid-I-Azam University in Islamabad, Pakistan has been selected for L’Oreals fellowship at University of Cambridge UKHer research focuses on the practical applications of nanotechnology in medicine.
Nanoparticles are particles with dimensions of iess than 100nm (a nanometer is one-biliionth of a meter} and are attracting a lot of interest in the field of drug development. Their small size and ability to transport drugs directly to target locations open up many possibilities for more efhcient and effective drug delivery, particularly in cancer patients.
Ishrat Bano is looking into the use of magnetic narioparticles in drug delivery. These offer the additional advantage of being more easily directed to diseased tissue through the use of an external magnetic field to direct the particles. Because they can target so efficiently, they also reduce the quantity of drug required to reach the appropriate concentration in the target location, therefore minimizing severe side effects in other, healthy parts ofthe body. However, magnetic particles have a tendency to stick together and cause potential blockage in the tiny capillaries of the blood system.
lt is therefore essential that the particles used are superparamagnetic — only exhibiting magnetism in the presence of an external magnetic field. During her fellowship she will receive training in the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles adapted to drug delivery.
The ability of these particles to transport drugs is affected by acidity, temperature and the binding sites on the drug moIecuIe`s surface. She will test different methods of drug binding using insulin as a model protein drug and, using acidic solutions to simulate the conditions found in the stomach, she will also test the stability ofthe insulin-loaded particles and their ability to release the drug.
On return to Pakistan, Ishrat Bano will complete her PhD studies and then, as a postdoctoral researcher, she hopes to have the chance to make an important contribution tothe field of drug delivery using bionariotechnology.
Pakistani Girls should apply for L’Oreal’s scholarship & fellowships which run every year. More details can be found on L’Oreals web site at http://www.loreal.com

President Zardari's moves for Islamic Education and Research
ISLAMABAD, Mar 9 (APP): President Asif Ali Zardari Monday announced that the government will bear expenses for the marriage of 2500 girls belonging to poor families during the next one year. The President made the announcement at the prize distribution ceremony in connection with the Seerat Conference at the Presidency.
The President also announced ten international scholarships for research scholars for conducting research in Pakistan on Holy Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) to enable them to conduct postgraduate research in the world’s best institutes.
The President also announced the establishment of an Institute of Islamic Research and Scholarship in Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad. He said Pakistan will also hold an International Conference on the topic of the Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) as Rehmat ul Alamin.
President Asif Ali Zardari gave away prizes to the winners of best books, Naat writing and papers on Seerat.
Those who received prizes from the President included: Abdul Rashid Bhatti, Abu-al-Imtiaz, Muhammad Ikhlaq, Hafiz Muhammad Ibrahim Faizi, Hafiz Muhammad Nizarul Hassan, Syed Ahmad Siddiqui, Ghulam Rasool, Sarwar Qureshi, Abdul Haseeb Salik, Mrs. Mudassir Hameed, Dr. Nigar Sajjad Zaheer, Aleemunnisa, Syed Azizur Rehman, Dr. Ikramul Haq Al-Azhari, Qari Syed Sadaqat Ali, Tahira Dastgir, Muhammad Iqbal and Mumtaz Ali Khan.
The ceremony was attended among others by Minister for Religious Affairs Allama Hamid Saeed Kazmi and Minister of State for Religious Affairs Shugafta Jamani, religious scholars, ulema and intellectuals.
Minister for Religious Affairs said collective marriages would be organized during the year at provincial headquarters and in AJK.
