2024 - 11 - 16

As a part of Lifelong Learning activities, the College of Medicine at University of Alkafeel organized a workshop on Saturday, November 16, 2024 : "Nanotechnology: Preparation and Applications", presented by Prof. Dr. Adel Habib Omran Al-Khayat.

    The workshop addressed the definition of nanotechnology and its increasing importance in scientific and research circles, and highlighted its pivotal role in bringing about qualitative steps in the fields of communications, electronics, and modern devices. The various methods for preparing nanomaterials , physical and chemical methods, green and biological methods were discussed and characterized by high accuracy and low-cost efficiency.

    The workshop also focused on the environmental applications of nanotechnology, as these materials contribute significantly to removing organic pollutants from water using photocatalytic and adsorption techniques, which contributes to reducing the impact of industrial and agricultural activity on the environment.

   In the medical field, the workshop highlighted the role of nanomaterials in improving diagnostic and treatment methods : medical imaging advancedtechniques ;spiral tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. It also highlighted the importance of nanotechnology in developing safer and more effective treatments, including alternatives to traditional chemotherapy and antibiotics, with reducing side effects and costs.

    This workshop is part of a series of activities to raise awareness of the latest technological developments and their direct applications in serving humans and the environment.
