It's 57th foundation day of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi. On this occasion AIIMS has organized an exhibition for its contribution to health care and public awareness. AIIMS President, Union Health Minister, Dr. Ghulam Nabi Azad, was present on this occasion and announced that other AIIMS will be functioning very soon and 17 other medical colleges will be upgraded to AIIMS-like.
After that almost each department exhibited its contribution in form of research, clinical developments etc. Since my lab is working on cancer, therefore, my lab displayed that cycloxgenage-2 (COX-2) could be a prognostic marker for oral cancer.
In our lab, COX-2 has been found to be overexpressed in oral cancer patients' serum and tissue, and its peptide inhibitors showed significant cytotoxicity in oral cancer line KB.
In the evening, Noble Laureate Dr. Robert Huber delivered his lecture on protein structures. It was highly motivational and encouraging lecture.
After that, from this year onward AIIMS has started a new award for its researchers for their contribution in to promote scientific research. Institute will honor them with prizes as one 1st prize, two 2nd prizes and five 3rd prizes.
It was all a good move. We should welcome it.
