DISTINGUISHED LECTURE UNDER ONE HEALTH LECTURE SERIES


DST NUTEC organized a distinguished lecture by Dr M Suresh, Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education, John Butler, professor of comparative and mucosal immunology from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine, USA, in collaboration with the Nitte University Centre for Science Education and Research and the Directorate of Research, Nitte University. Dr. Suresh spoke on “Tenets of T Cell Immunity to Respiratory Viral Pathogens”. The distinguished lecture was held on 27 Feb 2025 at the seminar hall at NUCSER at 11.30 Am. This event was organized as a part of the ‘One Health Lecture series’. Dr Anirban Chakraborty, Director NUCSER, delivered the welcome address and Dr Iddya Karunasagar, Advisor (Research & Patents), Nitte DU, introduced the speaker to the gathering. In his lecture, the speaker provided insights into vaccine-induced multifaceted mucosal T-cell immunity with implications for the development of vaccines against respiratory pathogens, including influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2, using a combination adjuvant strategy to elicit CD8 and CD4 T-cell responses. The relation between immune response and protection against infection and disease was also explained. Most often, immune response is measured in terms of antibody titres, but the need to understand T cell response that is important in overcoming intracellular pathogens like viruses was highlighted. The major focus of the lecture was on providing fundamental insights into T-cell-based vaccine-induced protective immunity in the case of respiratory viruses. About 150 participants, including the staff and students of NUCSER, attended the invited lecture.

Daytime activities included surfing and sea-swimming coaching sessions, promoting a healthy work-life balance. The evenings were dedicated to vibrant networking sessions, connecting startup founders with startup-enthusiast students from colleges across the coastal region. Dr. Sapna Poti, Director, Strategic Alliance, Office of Principal Scientific Advisor, Government of India launched Mission Utthan during this event. DST TEC, Nitte University actively participated in this event by setting up a stall that showcased available technologies like chicken jerky, mutton jerky, spray-dried almond milk powder, a blend of whey with different fruit flavours prepared using spray-drying technology and nutraceuticals from fish waste. Technologies like the automatic shoe storage and delivery system, three-axis tool force measurement system, piezo-actuator inchworm drive and a novel design of micro XY stage for micro-milling machines from NMAM Institute of Technology, Nitte, Karkala were displayed at the stall. Poster illustrating insect-repellent formulations using Premna Serratifolia L. developed jointly by KSHEMA Central Research Laboratory (CRL) and the Pharmacy Institute NGSMIPS was displayed. ARJUNA, an Educational Robotics kit and other robotic devices developed by Newrro Robotics, Bangalore and supported by NMIT, Bangalore were also showcased at the DST TEC stall as technologies available for transfer. The local business community and chambers of commerce actively participated, exploring how emerging technologies like AI can transform traditional operations. EMERGE 2025 not only highlighted Mangalore’s potential as a startup destination but also demonstrated how innovation can be harmoniously integrated with community values and social responsibility. EMERGE 2025 provided a great platform for DST TEC to showcase the emerging technologies, and technology in pipeline and also gave ample networking opportunities, for participants to connect, collaborate, and forge partnerships, especially with potential investors.
