MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL

" It can happen. It does happen. But it can't happen if you quit ." Lauren Dane.

‘We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit .’ Aristotle

It gives me immense pleasure to pen a few words for our e-bulletin. At the onset I would like to thank thelast year’s editors and congratulate the newly selected editors for the current year.

Our first consideration is always in the best interest of the students. Our goal is to promote academicexcellence and continuous improvement.

I believe that excellence in education is aided by creating a learning environment in which all learners aresupported in maximizing their potential and talents. Education needs to focus on personalized learningand instruction, while promoting an education system that is impartial, universally accessible, and meetingthe needs of all students.

It is of paramount importance that our learners have sufficient motivation and encouragement in order toachieve their aims. We are all very proud of you, our students, and your accomplishments and lookforward to watching as you put your mark on the profession in the years ahead.

The call of the time is to progress, not merely to move ahead. Our progressive Management is lookingforward and wants our Institute to flourish as a Post Graduate Institute of Excellence. Steps are taken inthis direction and fruits of these efforts will be received by our students in the near future. Our Teachersare committed and dedicated for the development of the institution by imparting their knowledge and playthe role of facilitator as well as role model to our students.

The Pharmacy profession is thriving with a multitude of possibilities, opportunities and positivechallenges. At Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, our focus is on holisticneeds of our students.

I am confident that the students of GNIPST will recognize all the possibilities, take full advantage of theopportunities and meet the challenges with purpose and determination.

Excellence in Education is not a final destination, it is a continuous walk. I welcome you to join us onthis path.

My best wishes to all.

HISTORICAL ARTICLE

Jane Marcet(1769-1858)

Jane Marcet was a science writer, but that alone doesn’t qualify heras a famous scientist.In fact, Jane Marcet was the first female science writer ever,writing Conversations on Chemistry in 1806.Yet that still does not qualify her as a famous scientist, even thoughshe wrote her book for girls in a time when education for girls wasviewed as unimportant.No, the reason she is famous is that she wrote her chemistry bookin a way thatanyone with little formal education could understand,and it became thestandard text in chemistry education.In Jane Marcet’s time, science was a field inhabited by wealthypeople. It was very difficult for poorer people to get enougheducation to become scientists.But one poor boy, born in 1791, whose father had worked as ablacksmith, did it.The boy started work as an apprentice bookbinder aged 13, andwent on to become one of the world’s greatest scientists,revolutionizing both physics and chemistry.MICHAEL FARADAY, 1791 – 1867Chemist and Physicist Jane Marcet’s bookConversations on Chemistry was so good, manyschools in Great Britain started using it.It made its way to the United States, where Thomas Jefferson’spapers show that he bought a copy of it in 1809.

It became a standard textbook for girls’ education in America andwas translated into both French and German.Amazingly, Jane Marcet was not a chemist and had received noformal training in chemistry. So, how did she come to write suchan influential book?The Making of Jane Marcet Jane Marcet (pronounced marset, not market) was born in Londonon the very first day of the year 1769. She was the daughter of thewealthy Swiss banker Anthony Francis Haldiman and his wife Jane. She was home-schooled. In 1799 she married AlexanderMarcet, a Swiss medical doctor. The couple lived in London.Alexander, who was interested in chemistry, became a Fellow of

the Royal Society and had a home-laboratory built.Increasingly, Jane became as interested in chemistry as herhusband. She began attending lectures at the Royal Institutiongiven by eminent chemists such as Humphry Davy. She foundthese lectures confusing. Why was this? she wondered.Discussing the lectures with other attendees, she realized she wasnot alone in her confusion. She performed experiments at homeand was able share her thoughts with her husband, who had beenformally educated in chemistry and understood her difficulties.Mrs Marcet decided to learn enough to write about chemistry insuch a way that everyone who wanted to understand thesubject could understand it.In 1806, aged 37, she publishedConversations on Chemistry, IntendedMore Especially for the Female Sex .In all the book was published in 16 editions spanning 1806 and1853. Mrs Marcet was 84 years old when she released her finaledition of the book.By 1833 events had come spectacularly full-circle. MichaelFaraday’s work was featured in that year’s edition of Conversationson Chemistry. The boy who had beeninspired by the book now had hiswork featured in the book.

Ultimately the influence of Jane Marcet on science was enormous.She made it a subject that girls could consider pursuing, and shemade it a subject that people who were not wealthy and who hadonly a few years of schooling could get to grips with. In doing soshe inspired one of the greatest scientists in history and enabledhim to learn enough about chemistry to start a scientific career.

KNOWLEDGE BASED ARTICLE New method of viewing TB bacteria

TB is generally a curable disease -- but first it must be diagnosed,and that has been one of the biggest barriers in its elimination. M.tuberculosis grows very slowly, so traditional methods ofdiagnostic testing take a very long time. A team from the TexasA&M Health Science Center College of Medicine has beenworking on a new approach. The work is led by Jeffrey Cirillo,Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Microbial Pathogenesisand Immunology.Cirillo's previous research, which has been supported by the Billand Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust, hasfocused on developing a rapid yet inexpensive test for tuberculosis.He and his team have nearly perfected the technology and are inthe process of bringing the test to market.

The slow growth of M. tuberculosis also makes development ofnew therapeutics difficult because it takes so long to determine ifthe treatment is working.Now, Cirillo and his team have developed a method, which theyreported recently in the journal PLoS ONE, of detecting whether apotential treatment is working as early as a day after it is given."Since M. tuberculosis takes about a month to quantify usingtraditional approaches, any method that allows directdetermination of the amount of bacteria present is very valuableand speeds progress, saving months every time an experiment isdone," Cirillo said. "Our methods allow this."Using optical imaging technology, the researchers can observe the

bacteria in real time, in living animals, without harming them. Thisway, it is easy to determine if a proposed treatment is working andthe number of bacteria is decreasing."There have never been sensitive enough systems to measure thebacteria directly in animals," Cirillo said. "This is a completely newtechnology and has nearly limitless applications to microbiologicalresearch, particularly in animals, but it increases sensitivity in anyexperimental system."Drug-resistant TB, now present everywhere in the world, ishampering efforts to fight the disease because the usual drugs usedto treat it are no longer effective. Therefore, new, more effectivetreatments need to be developed.The researchers first had to find the best fluorescent protein tohelp them visualize the bacteria."We use very sensitive systems that can actually see the signalthrough mammalian tissue," Cirillo said. "This works best in thenear-infrared, which is where our signals are primarily produced."

Active TB causes symptoms such as cough, fever, night sweats,weight loss. If left untreated -- a common scenario in developingcountries lacking health care infrastructure -- a person with activeTB has only a 50 percent chance of survival, and he or she willinfect an average of 10 to 15 people each year.

"The goal in TB research is complete eradication of the disease,"Cirillo said. "We think this new technology is one tool to do justthat."
