International Nepali Biomedical Society Launched
Baisakh 1, 2063
A group of Nepali scientists gathered from around the world, but who are all working in the biomedical science, have announced the launch of the International Nepali Biomedical Society (INBS) and the society's website, http://www.nepal-biomed.org.
Several SEBS members are represented in the Ad-hoc executive committee of the INBS, including Prerana Shrestha (874B), Dr. Pramod Aryal (440A), Dr. Reena Shakya (399B) and Dr. Gopal Sapkota (420B). A former teacher at BNKS, Dr. Tara Sigdel, is also in the executive committee.
SEBS members in the related fields are requested to join the International Nepali Biomedical Society (http://www.nepal-biomed.org/inbs).
The society, to be based in the U.S., aims to bring together the global network of Nepali Biomedical scientists with a view to promoting world-class biomedical research and education programs in Nepal. INBS aims to provide a platform for all Nepali students, scientists and other professionals of Biomedical Sciences located throughout the world, to foster a better communication between Nepali and foreign biomedical scientists, societies and educational institutes.
The detailed goals of the society and the information on how interested scientists, students and professionals in the biomedical science can become members of the society can be found in the society's website (www.nepal-biomed.org). Besides its web-based resources for interested groups, INBS plans to initiate regular seminar workshops in Nepal, with notable Nepali and foreign scientists invited as speakers. INBS also plans to establish a library in Kathmandu to provide latest scientific journals and text-books for Nepali scientists and students alike.
The society will be ably guided by a group of distinguished scientists from Nepal and abroad, including the world-renowned Nepali scientist Dr. Uttam Lal RajBhandary, the Lester Wolfe Professor of Molecular Biology and Associate Head of the Department of Biology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, USA and Dr. Cliff Tabin, a professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA.
Biomedical Science incorporates multiple disciplines, including cell biology, molecular biology, developmental biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology and immunology, the ultimate aim of which is understanding the basis of life, finding novel treatments to cure human diseases and developing technologies to meet human needs.
