Chandigarh, October 25

The Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) has awarded a research grant of Rs 42 lakh to Dr Vijayta D Chadha, chairperson, Centre for Nuclear Medicine, Panjab University, for the synthesis and bio-evaluation of nano-based radiopharmaceuticals in cancer imaging.

The study is an extension of preliminary research carried out of the award of grant by Panjab University Alumni Association, wherein hypersialylation in cancer cell was exploited as a potential target for nuclear imaging. The encouraging outcome of the previous work prompted the investigators to take the work further by using nano-based tech.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
