The UGC, in a letter to the vice- chancellors of universities, has said, "Considering theimportance of this issue, the UGChas framed guidelines for establishment of UILCs,Kindlyensure compliance of these guidelines by all the departments of your university as well asaffiliated colleges,"

Most of the Universities still lack industrial collaboration even for technical courses. This isresulting in limited research activities in higher education and placements. This is alsoleading to a large gap between the requirement of industry and the young graduates' skills.Despite having a good academic record, SCienceand engineering graduates often fir.d itdifficult to get jobs because they lack practical experience in their field. We can fill this gapby encouraging students to take up internships in industry during their study, Internshipswill be easily accessibleonly with direct collaboration with industries."

Sir,

With reference to your letter No.DN.6240/FM dated 13.6.2015 recei inon 19.6.20;5, on the subject noted above, your attention is invited to the decisionGenera! Body of this council. taken at its meeting held on 10.3.2010 in this regardunder.

The Council approved the following recommendations of the Executive Committee:.:

"The members of the Executive Committee of the Council perused the report of theCommittee to look into the matter pertaining to the definition of Resident Doctor as wellrequirement of Senior Residents in medical college as under:-

"PreambleResident doctors have been long continued to be regarded as the backbone .

health' care delivery and patient care in a iarge hospita: - both teaching and ron-teachThe young doctors recruited according to the policy of the hospital are the first line ...physicians who directly deal with the patients from their admission to their discharge .supervise the patient during their investigations and treatment in the hospitalsupervrslon of consultants. The system of residency thus provides the young doctor one.the best opportunities of working, caring for the patients, performing investigative .treatment procedures and thus getting the greatest opportunity of hands onacquisition of skills and learning under supervision of specialists and teachers. Inhospitals and medical colleges the resident not only gets the opportunity of learning,also the opportunity of teaching their juniors and medical students. This is also thewhen they learn the management of all kinds of emergency patients and tackling ofkinds of emergency situations. The period of residency is considered as the golden .in a doctor's iife.

However, due to lack of uniform policy and regulations this period is also such when theyoung doctors are put to work for unhealthy hours, not provided with decent.accommodation and emoluments and at times mercilessly exploited by employers andmanagement of hospitals leading not only to work stress, frustrations, hardships etc. butall these conspire to rob the young doctor one of the most productive and satisfying periodof his I her life.

Report of the Committee constituted by the V.c. to examine all the MoUs

executed by the Aligarh Muslim University

Vide LO.No. (cl/1961 dated29-12-2015

At present the Aligarh Muslim University has 9 active National MoUs, out of them

only 2 are oocrational in terms of outcomes.

I\t errsent ~heAligarh Muslim University has 18 active International Mous, out of

t !..:r~l ~'; . ',IT r: operational in terms of outcomes.

The committee observed that only those MoUs which had a Department/Centre

specific fO(\/5 could take off, but since most MoUs were very general in nature

and often covered several faculties, therefore, no quantifiable outcomes were

In most international MoUs, there is mention of scholar and faculty exchange.

U U~ll!y in S' foil ('xchanges the host institution does not pay for _travel and board.

r ;),' foreign institutions this is not a problem, but in our case we are not able to

';, ".,l tlie expenses of our faculty or students. This is the main bottleneck in

tlctuJlizing the MoUs.

......;

_'":. '~.' . "...

~ecommencJ;)ti ons:

In view of the above, it appears that it would not be easy in future to

execute MoUs with foreign Universities. Therefore, we need to be more

careful now in deciding about such MoUs so that whichever agreements we

enter into, they are actually operationalised in the real sense and some

tangible benefits accrue to the University .

• Future MoUs should be department specific, the draft should first be

discussed in the respective Board of Studies and then vetted by the legal

section of the University, subsequently, if it is a national MoU it should be

signed and if it is an international one, it should be sent to the UGC forapproval.

•

(\•

Before agreeing on a draft of international MoU, thefunding part of all-.-activities intended should be sorted out.

If possible, the University may alfoc~te some funds for Iunding the student

Topic: CRISPR mediated Inhibition of Bacterial Biofilm

Objective: CRIS;'RJCas9 genome editing systems use a non-specific endonuclease (Cas9or closely related Cpfl) to cut the genome and a small RNA (gRNA) to guide thisnue lease to a user-defined cut site. Here we will employ this property to target the genesinvolved in bacterial biofilm production and/or drug resistance pathways.

Intrnductiun- Biofilms are microbial communities attached to surfaces and encased in an. . .. ." , . . . .

CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat) systems areadaptable immune mechanisms used by many bacteria to protect themselves from foreign:1'.1::,"" ' i.ls, such as viruses or plasmids. In genome engineering applications, Cas9endi.'ili.,r. lease is targeted by guide RNA (gRNA) sequence homology to a given locus,where i [ induces a double stranded break. Like ZFNs and TALENs, CRISPRJCas9employs HDR, but the use of RNA to specify editing makes the system much lessexpensive and time-consuming, as well as more precise and flexible. For this reason,CRl~,lT<'"s9 has proved to be incredibly valuable for high-throughput genomeengineering. CRISPRJCas9 can also target multiple loci in one organism, and likeTALENs, the system has also been adapted for other functions.

Selection of Desired Genetic Manipulation- Different genetic manipulations requiredifferent CRISPR components. Selecting a specific genetic manipulation can be agood way to narrow down which reagents are appropriate for a given experiment. Thegenetic manipulation may be of Knock out, Edit, Repress Interfere (CRISPRi) orActivate(CRI~I-'? ) type.

2. Methodology and Techniques-

Selection of Expression System- The type of expression system will depend uponspecific application. To use the CRISPR system, expression system is used to expressboth a gRNA and Cas9 in your target cells.

Selection of Target Sequence and gfu'lA Design- In this step selection of target andsequencing of the will be done. Sequence variation between gRNA targetingsequence and target DNA may result in reduced cleavage. After selecting a target,identification of all PAM sequences within the target region wiII be done. After thatgRNA oligo synthesis and further its cloning in a suitable vector will be done. AftergRNA synthesis Cas9 and gRNA will be delivered to expression system.Validation of Genetic ModificationAfter the successful delivery of the gRNA and Cas9 the target cells, the next step is tovalidate genome edit. The validation is done by- Mismatcl.1-cleavageassay (for NHEJrepaired DSBs), PCR and restriction digest (for HDR repaired DSBs). PCRamplification and gel electrophoresis (for HDR or NHEJ), PCR amplification, subcloning and Sanger sequencing (for HDR or. NHEJ), PCR amplification and subcloning and Sanger sequencing (for HDR or NHEJ).

2. Wh:l! is aimed to be achieved by the study - the use CRISPR system to inhibitbacterial biofilm may provide us an alternative method to cope with the problem ofbiofilm hence drug resistance.

3. How is it likely to advance or add to the existing knowledge in relation to humanhealth? Bacterial biofilrns cause chronic infections because they show increasedtolerance' to antibiotics and disinfectant chemicals as well as resisting phagocytosis andother components of the body's defence system. Since the biofilm plays a major role inthe bacterial drug resistance, inhibition of the biofilm by CRISPR system may help us tocope with the problem of drug resistance. The simplicity, high efficiency and broadapplicability of the RNA-guided Cas9 system have positioned this technology totransfnnn biological and biomedical research.

Synopsis submitted by Abid Ali for admission to Ph.D. in BiotechnologyTopic: Studies onstructural and functional insight of class B p-Iactamases

Background:

p-Iactamases are enzyme produced by bacteria (also known as penicillinase) that providernul ti- resistance to p lactam antibiotics such as penicillins, cephamycins, andcarb3penems (ertapenerri ), although carbapenems are relatively resistant to beta­be L1J11ase. Beta-Iactamase provides. antibiotic' structure. These antibiotic all have acommon clement in their mo~eculai-structure: a four -atom ring known as a ~-Iactam.Through hydrolysis ~the.laCian1ase enzyme breaks the P lactamring open, deactivatingthe molecule's antibact.eriar properties: The molecular classification of P lactamases isbased on the nucleotide and amino acid sequence in these eilzymes.-The functionalcl:ls.c:ili.:ation is Class A,C, and D act by a serine-based ,mechanism whereas class B ormcu <lJ 0- [i-lnctamases need zinc for their action. Originally described from New Delhiin 2(J09, this gene is now widespread in E Coli and Klebsiella Pneumoniae from Indiaand Pakistan as mid of -2010. NDM-l metallo-p-Iactamase (MBl) was firstly describedin a til inary Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from a Swedish patient who traveled to NewDelhi and who had received medical care in India (I). Broadcasting bfmultidrug resistantNDM-I in hospitals and community settings poses a severe threat to human health (2).Previously, we reported the dissemination of blaNDM-l in E. cloacae (EC-IS) and K.pneurnoniae (KP-12) isolates of clinical origin from Aligarh hospital, north India [3]. Inthis study, K. pneumoniae (KP-12) and different type variants strain will use to cloneblaNDM-1 into pQE-2 vector and the generated plasmid (pNDM-I) will use as atemplate to make different tupe mutant active side as well inactive side by PCR-basedsite-directed mutagenesis. Further, we will investigate the significance role of theirmutant at. active site and nonactive site in their the structure and function of NDM-lusing microbiological, biochemical and biophysical approaches.

Objective: Molecular Cloning, Expression and Purification of Protein NDJ'vl-I metallo­p-Iactamase and its laboratory mutants from antibiotics resistance bacteria klebsiellapneumome

Methodology:

MIC determination: MICs were determined on E. coli Bl21 (ADE3) cells by brothmicro-dilution method and the results were interpreted according to CLSI guidelines. E.coli Bl-21 cells transformed with Ly M, was treated with increasing concentr<1tions of

Topic: Molecular characterization of carbapenemase producing bacterial strain ofenterobacteriaceae family.

Bacground: .Cru bapenems are antimicrobials of last resort used to treat severe infections caused byrnultidrug-resistant organisms. (MDROs).During the last decade, carbapenemaseproducing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) have emerged and spread worldwide, becoming apublic health problem. Acquisition' of: these bacteria is mostly nosocomial butcommuni ty-acquired CPE have also been described (Patel G, et al. Front Microbiol 2013)in gCl1LJ:iL carbapenemases hydrolyze all p-lactam antibiotics (Canton R, et al. Clin.;\1ilrc,b. Infect 2012). The most clinically important carbapenernases produced byEnterobacteriaceae are the class B-metallo p-Iactamases (MBLs), represented by VIM,I\ 1P. (J!]\! and NDM types, the class A enzymes of the KPC type, and the class-Denzymes, represented by the OXA-48 type (Tzouvelekis LS et al Clin. Microb. Rev2012). A key characteristic used for discriminating enzymes belonging to differentAmbler classes is the responsiveness to specific inhibitors: Class A enzymes are inhibitedLy clavulanic and aminophenylboronic acid (APBA), class B enzymes are inhibited byUYL\, and class D enzymes do not respond to any inhibitors used in p-Iactamasediagnostics (Queenan AM, et al Microbiol Rev 2007)

Synopsis submitted by Ansam Wadia AL-Shameri for admission to Ph.D. InBiotechnology

Topic: Development of novel vaccine platforms using self-assembling proteinnanopartlcles

IntroductionInfectious diseases continue to be a major public health problem in the developing world.and are responsible for approximately tens of millions deaths yearly. For example.diseases caused by a unicellular protozoan parasite and bacteria poses a challengingproblem to chemoprophylaxis and treatment leading to mortality and morbidity especiallyin endemic region. Thereby limiting our options for effective disease control. However,new chemotherapeutic strategies may discovered through the investigation of molecularmechanism (2).To prevent the onset of the disease, prophylactic vaccines are moreeffective than drugs as parasites tend to acquire resistance against drugs. Different stagesiii the life cycle are targeted to generate a successful vaccine. Pre-erythrocytic stages areattractive targets for vaccine development because parasites that are not able to completeliver stage development have a potential to elicit protective immunity(Fig.l).DNA basedsubunits vaccines, have also shown to trigger immune response albeit with less protective, :-C: <r·CJ).

..\ ig,He"1: A schematic representation of the Plasmodiumsporozoites migration throughcells prior to establishing infection in the vertebrate host. The migrating sporozoitesbeach several cellular barriers before they' finally invade one host cell. During thisrandom migration, the sporozoites shed secretory antigens that become accessible eitherto a Class II presentation or cross presentation through dendritic cells. The secretedantigens are likely to elicit both antibody and C04+ T cell response.

Vaccines against the pre-erythrocytic stages seem to be more feasible as there is a dualpossibility to eliminate the extracellular sporozoites through induction of neutralizingantibodies and the intracellular hepatic forms through generation of parasite specificCD8+ T cells (Fig.2).Thus, the pre-erythrocytic vaccines have the potential to clear theparasites before the clinical manifestations of the disease that is associated with the bloodstage infections. While radiation attenuated sporozoites remain as gold standard for pre­erythrocytic vaccines a limited success has also been obtained through use ofrecombinant vaccines designed at eliciting pre-erythrocytic immunity. The most effectiverecombinant malaria vaccine, candidate tv date is "RTS, S", a vaccine that is based on thecircumsporozoite protein <~SP) of P. falciparum sporozoite, the parasite stage thatmosquitoes inject into humans (4).Though RTS,S induced a strong immune responses inhumans v olunteers, its efficacy was short lived and was not as potent as immunityIIH_lUCCJ by radiation attenuated malaria sporozoites(5). .

Figure 2: Schematic representation of Class 11 medited presentation of sporozoitesecretory antigens (Kumar KA et al., 2006)

The quagmire for the vaccinologist is to not only identify and manufacture the proteins orcpitopcs but to present them in the correct conformation, so as to overcomeimmunological tolerance and provoke functional (growth inhibitory) immunity(6).In view of the limited efficacy of subunit vaccines and the limited period of inducingimmune response it is possible to use a platform to display a tandem repeat of the 8 cellsand T cell irnrnunodorninant repent epitope. In addition, to generate a potent vaccine, themost conserved and protective 8- and T-cell epitopes should be combined into a highly:mm'lrl' ~~,i.: epitope delivery and presenting system(7).Recently, in a highly innovativeand novel approach, using the background of structural biology, biophysics andcomputational protein design, people designed epitope strings that self-assemble into 50-

called self-assembling protein nanoparticles (SAPNs). This was first presented in Ramanet al., 20C6 and relies on a protein chain made of two coiled coils connected by a short- . ' .

linker region. The potential for these SAPNs to serve as a platformfor vaccines isapparent beyond their ability to repetitively present antigenstx),Towards this end, we intend to use SAPNs technique as the basis for delivery andpresenting of Plasmodium berghei late liver stages antigenic peptides as a model systemfor the development of a new malaria vaccine platform.For complete of late liver stagedevelopment, there are several antigens secreted by liver stages parasites and theseantigens are likely to ,.-,ter a class I pathway of antigen presentation to activate theC08+ T cells. In addition, these antigens may also be cross-presented by professionalantigen presenting cells. SUBI (9), PKG (10), UIS3,UIS4, UIS7, UI$24 (11), PALM(PlasJJ1odium-specific.Apicoplast protein for Liver Merozoite formation) (12) and LISP(Liver Spec ifie Proteinj-I (13) are examples of few genes essential for liver merozoiteformation and release.UtS? and UIS24 (Upregulated 'in Infected Salivary glandsporozoitcs genes) are highly expressed on late liver·'~tages ami likely essential fordeve loprncnt of Exo-Erythrocyte Forms (EEFs). Thesetwo antigens not yet characterizedand could be targeted- for development of new malaria vaccine capable of bl~ck ofdevelopment of plasmodium liver stages.

Synopsis submitted by Hayder Abdulrahman Majeed, for admission to Ph.D. inBiotechnology

Topic: Study on efficacy of Photodynamic therapy-against bacterial biofilm.

Background:Biofilrns are' the surface-attached, multispecies microbial communities embedded in selfproducedexopolymeric matrix composed (Donlan 2002), Biofilrn structure serves as a physicalbarrier and leads to increase in res'istance to antimicrobial agents in comparison with theirplanktonic counterparts (Fux et al. 2005;Tan et al. 20i4). The emergence of biofilrn associateddrug resistant and virulent strain has become a worldwide concern for physicians. Therefore,there is an urgent need, for new approaches to overcome microbial resistance. Among newalternative antimicrobial strategies; Photodyr.amic therapies (PDT) emerged as an effectiveprocess to combat both biofilm and antimicrobial (Tavares et al. 2010). Photodynamic therapy isapplied by the use of a light- sensitive dye called photosensitizer (PS), visible light of the suitablewavelength corresponding to the absorption spectra of the PS and oxygen. This causes theproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which have a toxic effect on bacterial cells leadingto target cell death without causing harm to the host (Wainwright 1998). There are two pathwaysfor the reaction associated with PDT, Type I reaction involves generation of free radicals whileType II reaction involves generation of singlet state oxygen (Taraszkiewicz et al. 2013). Bothmechanisms operate in the cells simultaneously but the relative proportions may depend upon thePS structure and its micro-environment (Vatansever et al. 2013). PDT is known to be effectiveagainst, bacteria, fungi and viruses therefore have been proposed to be used as a therapy forlocalized infections (Hamblin and Hasan 2004; Carpenter et al. 2015). Moreover, antimicrobialPDT is selective, painless and as effective against resistant bacteria as their naive counterpart. ).Hence, in the study we try to explore an innovative approach of amalgamating thephotosensitizers with different antimicrobial agents like nanoparticles (Misba et al. 2016), salts(! luang et al. 2012) and antibiotics to enhance ROS generation and in order to achieve completeelimination of microbial biofilm.

Objective: To enhance the efficacy of photodynamic therapy by using differentantimicrobial agents.

l\Iethodology:Synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles.Nanoparticles will synthesise according to the previously reported literature and characterized byTEl'vI, UV-Visible, zeta potential and XRD.Minimum Inhibitory and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration.MIC and MBC will determine by broth micro dilution method and results will interpret accordingto CLSI guideline.

Agenda Item-S: Approval to establish Result Processing Unit (R.P. Unit) at CDE.

The Proposal to establish R.P. Unit exclusively for the CDE was brought before the BOM

The Vice-Chancellor emphasised that the CDE should maintain strict confidentiality in

the processing of results by the proposed R.P. Unit. Prof. Nabi Ahmad stressed that the

norms of the University must be scrupulously followed by the proposed R.P. Unit of the

CDE. The proposal to establish an R.P. Unit exclusively for the CDE was approved by

Ten Courses were originally proposed to be started at CDE, AMU,Aligarh. Out of their 03.. .Courses namely, MBA, BBA and PGD-Islamic Banking and Finance were dropped, and in

there place 04 new Courses namely, B.Ed (Bachelor of Education), Dip. in Sales and Retail,

Dip. in Assistantship and Secretarial Practice and Dip. in Physiotherapy were approved. The

COE pointed out that at the three Centres of AMU, .every year several seats in the MBA

Course remain vacant due to paucity of candidates and therefore there was no need to start

MBA at CDE. The proposal for BBA was also dropped on the same ground. The Dean

Faculty of Commerce expressed the opinion that in the absence of specialization in the field

of Islamic Banking and Finance .it would not be feasible to start a Diploma in this stream at

the CDE. Therefore, this Course too was dropped.

(Annexure -1) APPENDfX-X V -J9~~TEM Nn !

For obtaining 'Rank l' in Indian Universities the fAtademic excellence' of the facultymembers and students is of paramount importance. To achieve this goal participation ofthe faculty members and students in National and international conferences, workshopsetc. is a must. Financial assistance for facilitating the participation is also one of t: ieimportant areas which needs to be looked into.

I have the following suggestions for discussion in the meeting of AC:1) Every faculty member should be given atleast one opportunity to attend a national

conference in one financial year.2) The decision for allowing the faculty members to attend a conference should be

decentralized. The Dean faculty with 2 senior most professors of that faculty shouldform a committee and scrutinize the applications and take decisions for finalsanction.

3) The application should be submitted and scrutinized on a quarterly (3 monthly)basis.

c

4) The persons who are:-a) Invited as faculty, b) Chairing Sessions, c) Presenting papers should

be given priority.5) The persons attending workshops should also be given financial assistance.6) The allocation of the budget should be according to the size of the faculty. (in terms

of departments and number of faculty members)7) Every faculty member should be given funds for registration, TA/DA and hotel

accommodation; however a maximum limit must be fixed.8) If the university does not have-enough funds, then more funds should be requested

by the UGC under this head. Other bodies such as DST,CSIR,Corporate sector andAlumni should be tapped to have a large corpus of fund every year.

We have achieved a lot in the last few years, but the sky is the limit._ Our march should continue so that we achieve our goal of reaching the No.1

University status by 2020.
