*ALIGARH, February 10:* The Aligarh Summer University 2010 in profound
memory of eminent Nematologist and Professor Emeritus Abrar Mustafa at the
Department of Zoology, Aligarh Muslim University was formally inaugurated.
Prof. Absar Mustafa, Coordinator of the Programme, while welcoming the
delegates said that many graduates are unable to gain admission for advance
studies in Western universities due to the lack of proper guidance. He said
that AMU Alumni felt the need to guide under graduate and graduate students
enrolled in AMU especially through summer university programme.
Speaking on the occasion Prof. Asad Ahmad, University of Alberta Edmonton,
USA said that scientific education needs right guidance and training with
good environment. He said it is essential to get update with the standard of
undergoing scientific studies and research work at AMU.
Prof. Ashraf Khan, Director Surgical Pathology University of Massachusetts
Medical School, Worcester, USA presented a paper on breast cancer malignancy
in females and males. Prof. Khan said that American Cancer Society estimates
that in 2009 approximately 192370 new cases of invasive breast carcinoma and
62280 cases of in-situ carcinoma were diagnosed among women while 1910
breast cancer cases were diagnosed among males. He said that advances in
imaging techniques and increased use of aspiration needle biopsy have
greatly assisted in the early detection and pre-operative evaluation.
However, breast cancer among women remains to be a major public health
problem.
The Dean, Faculty of Life Science Prof. Asad Ali Khan said that no academic
activities could be achieved without active and sincere participation of
faculty members and research scholars. He said that in today’s modern
science, things are moving at the rapid pace that any lethargy would
definitely put us at disadvantage.
