National Conference on Recent Advances in Animal Sciences
February 13th - 15th, 2015
Organized by
Department of Applied Zoology
Mangalore University
- Introduction : Animal Sciences is a critical and significant area of research for human welfare. Studies in this area will help us to understand the biology and environment of animals and humans. With this information we can take better care of Wildlife and domesticated animals. There has been an explosion of knowledge in this area. To create a forum for discussion and interaction in this field a National Conference on Recent Advances in Animal Sciences (NCRAAS) has been organized by Department of Applied Zoology, Mangalore University. With this background we cordially invited you for the 3 days National Conference to be held at Mangalore University from 13th-15th February 2015.
- The Department of Applied Zoology : The postgraduate department of Applied Zoology is involved in various fields of research and teaching in Zoology. The department is supported by DST-FIST and is a UGC-SAP funded department. The department is well equipped for teaching and research in Animal Sciences. One of the special features of the departmetn is the shell museum which houses collection of more than 2000 molluscan shells from all over the world donated by Dr Mukunda Prabhu. The faculty of the department have been supported by DST,DBT,BRNS and New York Wild Life Society research grants and have received fellowships from Commonwealth grants, NSERC/NCE Canada and DAAD. The department is an active participant in establishing Centre for Application of Redioisotopes and Radiation Technology (CARRT). The faculty is involved in research in the area of Biodiversity, Cancer Biology, Cytogenetics, Fishery and Marine Biology, Genetic toxicology, molecular biology, Physiology and Radiation Biology.
Broad Themes : The programmes includes invited talks by eminent scientists in the field of animal sciences and presentation of papers in the following and allied areas :
