CUSB likely to get silkworm research lab in collaboration with Japan's Teikyo University
1 2 Patna: Central University of South Bihar (CUSB) is likely to set up a silkworm research laboratory on its campus in collaboration with Teikyo University (Japan) soon. The proposed lab will be set up with the support of the Japanese govt's international research grant. Development of silkworm is a useful alternative model for toxicity assays, drug screening and immunological studies, since its metabolic pathways are similar to humans. The development of silkworm research facilities at CUSB will also be helpful for the growth of silk industry in Bihar, said CUSB's public relations officer Mudassir Alam. "Two teachers from the CUSB, Rizwanul Haque and Jawaid Ahsan, discussed the proposal in detail with Teikyo University scientists during their recent visit to Japan. There they visited the laboratory of senior research scientist Atsushi Miyashita at the Antifungal Immunobiology Lab of the Institute of Medical Mycology, and also learned the techniques of silkworm culture. This training will considerably help them in setting up the silkworm research facility at the CUSB," he said. They also discussed the feasibility of inking a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two institutions following the visit of Japanese scientists to the CUSB. The proposed MoU will enable exchange of students and faculty members for studying different courses, teaching assignments and collaborative research work.

CUSB gets Rs 30 lakh grant for beekeeping and pollinator research
Patna: National Bee Board (NBB), under the Union ministry of agriculture and farmers' welfare, has awarded Rs 30.96 lakh to the agriculture department of Central University of South Bihar (CUSB) for completion of its two innovative research projects on beekeeping and pollinator conservation. The principal investigator of both these projects, Hemant Kumar Singh, said while one project will deal with the establishment of a high-quality nuclear stock centre, the other one will concentrate on the development of bee-friendly flower gardens. The main objective of these projects is to establish a permanent nuclear stock centre for protected, strengthened and improved colonies of Apis mellifera bee species, which will provide the necessary base for quality bee stock production. In addition, a chain of bee-friendly flower gardens will be developed to provide pollinators with a year-round source of nutrients, he said. Singh further pointed out that this project will not only strengthen the health and pollination services of bees, but will also be a concrete initiative towards innovation and environmental balance in the agriculture sector, while providing new self-employment opportunities to rural youths. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Congratulating the university's agriculture department for the sanction of this award, CUSB's vice-chancellor K N Singh said these projects, on completion, will provide training and skill development in beekeeping, colony management, and honey production to rural youth and agriculture students and help the department establish a climate-friendly 'mother orchard', in which high quality fruit species will be preserved and propagated, so that the continuous availability of pollen and nectar to the bees can be ensured.
