The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering organises a Two-Day Workshop on Advanced Nanomaterials and AI powered Microscale Sensors for Biomedical Applications on May 05-06, 2026. The workshop focuses on non-invasive diagnostic technologies using cancer-specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated due to abnormal cellular metabolism.
These VOCs, found in exhaled breath and other biofluids, serve as reliable biomarkers for early cancer detection, screening, and disease monitoring without invasive procedures.
Eminent global speakers will share their experience and ground-breaking findings. The workshop will include interactive sessions and hands-on experience, providing a strong platform for knowledge exchange for young researchers and experienced scientists. The workshop will be organised at SRM University–AP, Amaravati, a premier Indian university with world-class infrastructure and well-established laboratories, supported by faculty working in key areas of technological and economic development.
