A cardiac biomarker — cardiac troponin I — that is widely used for early diagnosis of acute heart attack can now be detected in about three minutes and even when present at very low concentration. And the detection can be done at bedside. This has become possible with the development of a microfluidic device by a team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IIT-H) are developing new technologies for bio-compatible implants that will enable early detection of malfunctions through non-invasive monitoring and diagnosis. Early detection of premature failure or malfunctioning prosthetic implants without surgery can help patients avoid reverse surgery, a remedial measure more expensive and painful than first time surgery.

A startup incubated at Indian Institute of Technology-Hyderabad (IIT-H) has developed lithium batteries with wide applications in fields of agriculture and aerospace and will be commercially launching them during the Renewable Energy Expo 2018 beginning in Greater Noida on September 18. PuREnergy, the startup, was founded in 2016 by Nishanth Dongari, assistant professor, department of mechanical and aerospace engineering at IIT-H, and it plans to make the lithium batteries available at economical prices.

A team of scientists at India Institute of Technology (IIT), Hyderabad, has developed a set of new electrodes that promise to help produce lithium ion batteries with higher energy densities. Battery cells consist of cathode, anode and the electrolyte that conducts ions between two electrodes. The energy density of a battery depends on voltage and specific capacity (the capacity to store amount of charge in the material per unit mass) of electrode material.

“Uptake of the nanoformulation is nearly the same by normal and cancerous cells. But the extract produces elevated levels of ROS only in cancerous cells. Right now we don’t know the precise mechanism by which higher ROS is generated inside cancer cells,” says Dr. Aravind Kumar Rengan from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at IIT Hyderabad and one of the corresponding authors of the paper. The levels of ROS inside normal cells were insignificant.

Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) is all set for this year’s campus placement with as many as 85 companies expected to participate in the first phase, including several international and multinational firms. The phase-I of campus placement will begin on December 3 and conclude on December 22. The second phase starts from first week of January 2018. Last year phase I had some 70 companies visiting the campus, while the total companies in all phases were close to 130. A total of 424 students from different disciplines and departments of IITH have registered to appear for the campus placement of 2017-18.

“The greatest difficulty was in finding data to train the system. People do not like to share their ultrasound images, hence the data set initially available was really small and not sufficient to cover all the possible patterns [which is necessary for the software to make a good diagnosis],” says Prof. Rajalakshmi. The team was helped in this by two healthcare centres in Hyderabad.

“Besides testing the activated jamun seed powder in the lab we also tested it using groundwater taken from Nalgonda village, which is one of the worst fluoride-affected villages in India. After two hours of contact time, we were able to reduce the fluoride content from 3.2 milligram per litre to less than 1.5 milligram per litre, which is the WHO limit,” says Dr. Sharma.
