Which of the following Institutes has developed an oral nanomedicine with the help of surface-modified solid lipid nanoparticles based combinational cargo system for combating Visceral Leishmaniasis (Kala-Azar)? (August 2020)

Which of the following Institutes has developed an oral nanomedicine with the help of surface-modified solid lipid nanoparticles based combinational cargo system for combating Visceral Leishmaniasis (Kala-Azar)? (August 2020) Correct Answer Institute of Nano Science & Technology (INST), Mohali

The correct answer is - Institute of Nano Science & Technology (INST), Mohali.

  • Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is the scientific name of Kala-Azar.
  • Scientists from the Institute of Nano Science & Technology (INST), Mohali, an autonomous institute of the Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India, have developed an oral nanomedicine with the help of surface-modified solid lipid nanoparticles based combinational cargo system for combating Visceral Leishmaniasis (Kala-Azar).
  • This study by the INST team may lead to product and process patent enhancing the role of our country for developing innovative therapy against neglected diseases.
  • The usage of a lower therapeutic dose of the purified drugs through nano-modifications will be a boon in reducing toxicity, which has been a major hindrance in the existing conventional treatment when administered orally.

Additional Information

  •  The Department of Science & Technology is a department within the Ministry of Science and Technology in India.
  • The Ministry is headed by Dr Harsh Vardhan.
