The workshop has been organized to analyze the current situation in the country and propose means for research and development intervention in the dairy sector through coordinated efforts of academia, government departments, development agencies and private sector organizations.
The initiative for holding this workshop was supported by National Vocational and Technical Education Commission (NAVTEC) of Pakistan and Agri-Science Park@ICRISAT, Hyderabad India (Mr Abdur Rahman Ilyas, Chief Operating Officer). The Global Dairy Health Limited has shown their interest in contributing to development of a model.
In the meantime the country and especially the Khyber Pukhtunkhwa Province were badly affected by the flood. The livestock holdings suffered the most, withdrawing the livelihood support from the people. Rehabilitation process is going to commence soon, supported by various donors. The workshop will provide a vehicle for the rehabilitiation process, providing guidelines for erecting the hub of dairy enterprises in an environment friendly way providing livelihood support to the flood affected people.

Molecular medicine is an emerging field that deals with the advances in molecular and cellular biology to characterize how a normal cellular process either fails or succeeds in subverting the disease. New knowledge in the field of molecular pharmacology, immunology and cell biology is expanding the scope of the innumerable inconceivable possibilities in the search for the development of new drugs and mechanism based therapies. In recent years, there has been enormous growth in the understanding of biological processes at the molecular level. The development is continuous with sharp focus on the essential molecular mechanisms underlying the normal functioning of cells, tissues and organisms. Molecular biological methods can be used to discover the mechanism of pathological processes leading to the development of new therapeutic concepts based on the understanding of molecular medicine.
The following aspects of molecular medicine will be covered in this symposium:
• Molecular Immunology
• Molecular Oncology
• Neurochemistry
• Gene Therapy
• Stem Cell Therapy
• Tissue Engineering
• Infectious Diseases
• Allergies and Asthma
• Diabetes
• Molecular Pharmacology and Drug Resistance
• Functional Genomics and Proteomics
• Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
• Translational Biomedical Research
Organized by:
DR. PANJWANI CENTER FOR MOLECULAR MEDICINE AND DRUG RESEARCH
