President of Beni Suef University announces the winning of the university with funding from the Science and Technology Fund (STDF) for two workshops
Prof. Dr. Mansour Hassan, President of Beni Suef University, announced that the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine will organize two workshops through the Science and Technology Fund (STDF) The first workshop, "Applications of quantitative analysis of morphometric images in biological and medical sciences", which presented by Dr. Shaimaa Nabil Al-Nahas, Assistant Professor, in the department of Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary , the second workshop, "Veterinary Vaccines and its Importance for Human and Animal Health", was presented by Dr. Sherine Rida Roubi, Assistant Professor of Infectious Diseases, Department of Animal Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary .
The university president pointed out that the first workshop will help researchers in biological and medical journals not only in pathology, tissue and forensic medicine but also in the field of parasites, anatomy and other branches to use accurate and specific tool to diagnose and identify many research problems, adding that this will be achieved by increasing computational power and improvements in image analysis algorithms that have allowed the development of a robust analytical approach to biomedical data, which will result in accurate results , identifying the prognostic signs that will help predict the result of the disease, and complete the role of pathologist in obtaining accurate results, computerized imaging methods is considered an important first step to assist the researcher (pathologist, histologist, radiologist, etc.) in doing accurate diagnosis of the problem (disease) and identification of varying morphological characteristics.
Professor Dr. Mansour Hassan added that the second workshop aims at raising awareness among veterinarians and cattle owners about the vital role played by veterinary vaccines in protecting the health of animals and humans and to inform veterinarians of recent trends in epidemiology, prevention and control of animal diseases and developments in diagnostic techniques to distinguish between vaccinated and field-infected animals (DIVA vaccines) it also summarizes new approaches to the development and evaluation of veterinary vaccines, assists researchers in designing an effective immunization program against farm animal diseases and pets, and identifies potential causes of vaccination failure in the veterinary field.
