At a time when the fear of performance and uncertainty is looming large due to Corona Crisis the research driven faculty members at Amity University Gurugram have demonstrated exemplary performance in respect of R & D and patent filing for their innovative inventions and technologies.
According to Vice-Chancellor Prof PB Sharma as many as 455 Quality Research Papers, 57 Book chapters and 42 Industry and Society relevant patents have been filed by faculty members of Amity Gurugram during the COVID-19 Lockdown period from March 1 to June 15th, 2020. What more the highest impact factor publications include research papers of Impact Factor 13.2 by Dr Arun Kumar of Institute of Pharmacy, Impact factor 12.8 by Dr Ujjaini and Impact Factor 9 by Dr Deepa Suhag of Institute of Biotechnology. The Impact Factor of 13 is considered quite high in Scientific publications.
But it is not the research publications alone, the 42 patents filed by Amity University Gurugram also include a few highly impactful parents such as the patent on “Gular Extract for Liver Cancer treatment” by Dr Saurabh Bhatiya, Prof PB Sharma, Dr Viveak Ballyan and team. This patent was originally filed as provisional and after laboratory trials has been filed as completed patent. The laboratory results not only point to significant improvement into alcohol induced hepato toxicity in liver but also resulted into significant boost of immunity of wistar rates, says Dr Bhatia the team leader from Amity Institute of Pharmacy. Further trials are under way to ascertain full facts.
Likewise, the completed patent by Dr Vimal Kishore of Biomedical Engineering at AUH on “Preparing Red Blood Cells from Stem Cells” is a path breaking invention that will revolutionise blood transfusion as being donor free and also avoids any chance of infected blood transfusion.
Yet another patent in the area of nanotechnology by Dr Monica Vats, Dr Jyotsna Sharma, Dr SK Sharma and Dr Arvind Chhabra and team refers to Antimicrobial, Antifungal, Anti-dust clothing with self-cleaning property. This patent holds great importance as Goddess Sita during the Ramayana times was presented with a pair of dress by Vedic Sage Devi Ansuyya at Chitrakoot that had Antimicrobial, Antifungal, Anti-dust and self-cleaning properties. This was the dress Goddess Sita ji wore for 14 years in the forests during Lord Rama’s exile and even in Sri Lanka and protected herself from any microbial and insect attacks in the Aranayyas, the forests of India and Sri Lanka.
Scientific evidence-based inventions like these are the way forward to fight out the Covid crisis that needs antimicrobial clothing for PPEs and Face Masks as also to bring the added pride in Scientific heritage of our ancient civilization that finds its fullest of expressions in Ramayana and Mahabharta times.
