‫Xinhua Silk Road: ڈیجیٹل دور میں روشن مستقبل کو اپنانے کےلئےسائی-ٹیک ایجاداتمیں ہائیر گروپ کا مقصد بلند ہے

بیجنگ، 19 جنوری 2022 /پی آر نیوز وائر/ – چین کا ہائیر گروپ ڈیجیٹل دور کے چیلنج سے مزید نمٹنے کے لئے سائنس اور ٹیکنالوجی میں اپنی اختراعی صلاحیت بڑھانے کے لئے کوشاں ہے،ان خیالات کا اظہار ہائیر گروپ کے چیئرمین اور سی ای او ژاؤ یونجی کے  نے پیر کو انٹرپرائز کی سالانہ انوویشن کانفرنس میں خطاب کرتے ہوئے کیا۔

ڈیجیٹل معیشت کی تیزی سے بڑھتی ہوئی ترقی سے فائدہ اٹھاتے ہوئے ہائیر گروپ نے ڈیجیٹل دور میں ایکسپلورر اور لیڈر بننے کی خواہش کے ساتھ حقیقی معیشت اور اس کے کاروبار پر حکمت عملی سے توجہ مرکوز کرنے کے لئے حکمت عملی اور سرمایہ کاری کمیٹی کی بنیاد رکھی۔

کمپنی نے اسمارٹ ہوم، صنعتی انٹرنیٹ اور جامع صحت سمیت تین صنعتوں میں قدم رکھا ہے۔دریں اثنا، ہائیر نئی توانائی اور سرکلر معیشت میں مواقع سے فائدہ اٹھاتا ہے تاکہ وہ خود کو گرین ڈیویلپمنٹ کے علمبردار کے طور پر تیار کر سکے۔

ہائیر اسمارٹ ہوم نے صارفین کو صارف دوست گھریلو آلات کا تجربہ فراہم کرنے کے لئے دو بنیادی پلیٹ فارمز یعنی تھری ونگڈ برڈ ایکسپرینس کلاؤڈ اور اسمارٹ ہوم برین، چار منظرنامے بشمول اسمارٹ کچن، اسمارٹ ایئر سپلائی، اسمارٹ واٹر سپلائی اور ہول ہاؤس انٹیلی جنس اور دیگر ڈیجیٹل ٹیکنالوجیز کو متعارف کیا۔

صنعتی انٹرنیٹ کے حوالے سے اس انٹرپرائز نے ڈیجیٹل ایجاد کی صلاحیت کے ساتھ ایک عالمی معیار کا صنعتی انٹرنیٹ پلیٹ فارم شروع کیا جس میں دنیا بھر سے حاصل کردہ وسائل مختص کیے اور بڑے پیمانے پر آرڈر کی تخصیص کو بااختیار بنایا گیا۔

ہائیر نے جامع صحت کمپنیوں کی فہرست مرتب کی ہے۔ بائیو سیفٹی میں مہارت کی حاملاور ویکسینیشن سیفٹی، اسمارٹ بلڈ سیفٹی اور اسمارٹ لیبارٹری جیسے منظرناموں پر مبنی، ہائیر بائیو میڈیکل تکنیکی اختراع کو مربوط کرکے پانچ منظرناموں کے لئے اسمارٹ حل تیار کرتا ہے اور ڈیجیٹل ہیلتھ کیئر انفراسٹرکچر میں ایک سرکردہ ایکو سسٹم برانڈ بن جاتا ہے۔

حکمت عملی اور سرمایہ کاری کمیٹی کے علاوہ ژاؤ نے انٹرنیٹ آف تھنگز (آئی او ٹی) کے دور میں ہونے والی تبدیلیوں کے جواب میں سائنس اینڈ ٹیکنالوجی کمیٹی، معاوضہ اور نامزدگی کمیٹی، آڈٹ اور رک کنٹرول کمیٹی اور رینڈن ہی لیڈنگ کمیٹی قائم کرنے کا بھی اعلان کیا ہے۔

اس وقت ہائیر نے دنیا بھر میں 20 سے زائد ممالک اور علاقوں سے وسائل جمع کیے ہیں اور کھلی اختراع کے لئے دنیا بھر میں دو لاکھ سے زائد ماہرین جمع کیے ہیں۔

اگلے تین سالوں میں ہائیر بنیادی تکنیکی مسائل سے نمٹنے کے لئے 40 ارب یوآن اور 60 ارب یوآن کی آر اینڈ ڈی سرمایہ کاری کا خصوصی صنعتی فنڈ مختص کرے گی۔

UVAS holds workshop on ‘Whole Genome Variant Calling @ Linux-An introduction’ 

Lahore, January 19, 2022 (PPI-OT):The Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology of the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Lahore organised a day-long “National Workshop on Whole Genome Variant Calling @ Linux-An introduction” on Wednesday in City Campus.

Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Nasim Ahmad presided over the inaugural session of the workshop while Pro Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Masood Rabbani, Founder Decode Genomics Dr Rashid Saif as resource person, Associate Prof Dr Muhammad Waseem, Dr Muhammad Tayyab and a number of students, teachers, researchers and professionals from public and private sector institutions/organizations all over the country were present.

While addressing the audience, Prof Dr Nasim Ahmad said that with the passage of time genome proved its importance as a tool through intervention for the benefit of human medicine. He said that such trainings are necessary to learn about theoretical knowledge as well as innovative practical knowledge related to the field. He said that it is direly needed to learn about such techniques to curb the emerging issues and this workshop will be beneficial for postgraduate students. He also lauded the organizers for arranging this workshop on informative topic.

Prof Dr Masood Rabbani advised the training participants to spread this knowledge they learnt during this workshop among other professionals. He said that UVAS is focusing on imparting practical knowledge to students so that they can excel in their field. The objectives of the training were to better understand the latest trends in molecular genetics and bioinformatics, to update the participants with the use of Linux for big genomic datasets and promote awareness and importance of link between biological problems and bioinformatics tools etc.

Whole Genome Variant Calling using Linux will untangle the mysteries of researchers and students who stand alone on the boundaries of molecular genetics and bioinformatics. They will come to know why life sciences researchers direly need computation skills, which type of biological data computation tools will apply on specific datasets and how Linux computes multi-omics data in a jiffy. It is high time to embrace and understand the evolving fields of bioinformatics, computational biology and genomic data science and how this understanding is helpful to circumvent modern biology problems on the genomic level using the powerful tool Linux.

Microbiology Lab Named After LUMS Alum, Late Muhammad Zaka-ur-Rehman 

Lahore, January 19, 2022 (PPI-OT):The ‘Muhammad Zaka-ur-Rehman Microbial Genomic and Multidrug Resistance (MDR) Laboratory’ was announced on January 12, 2022. The microbiology laboratory at the Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering at LUMS, has been named in memory of late Muhammad Zaka-ur-Rehman, LUMS MBA ’91 and former CEO of Schazoo Zaka. This laboratory will produce high impact research in areas crucial to the pharmaceutical industry like drug discovery and antimicrobial resistance.

The laboratory has been funded by the family of late Mr. Zaka-ur-Rehman, 14 members of the pharmaceutical industry in Pakistan, and alumni of the LUMS MBA Class of 1991. Attendees of the event included Mr. Zaka-ur-Rehman’s family members, and pharmaceutical sector representatives from across Pakistan, including CCL Pharmaceuticals, English Pharmaceutical Industries, Ferozesons, GlaxoSmithKline, Hilton Pharma, Indus Pharma, Medipak Limited, PharmEvo, Popular Chemicals, Remington Pharma, Medisure Laboratories, The Searle Company Limited, Pakistan Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Association, and Pharma Bureau.

During the event, LUMS Management Committee Member, Mr. Osman Khalid Waheed paid tribute to Muhammad Zaka-ur-Rehman. “He not only represented the best of the pharma industry, but the best of human values that all of us should aspire to. It is in his memory today that over 14 of our leading pharmaceutical companies have collaborated towards the Muhammad Zaka-ur-Rehman Microbial Genomic and Multidrug Resistance Laboratory at LUMS.”

Mr. Ahmed Zaka ur Rehman (MBA Class of 1991), Director Marketing, Schazoo Zaka (Pvt.) Limited, shared memories of his brother and referred to the time they spent together at LUMS as the best years of his life. “My brother always saw the positive side of situations and the country,” he added. Speaking about the work being done at Schazoo Zaka. “The company has been at the forefront of treatment of tuberculosis and we ensure that research is done in Pakistan, because the strains found in the country are slightly different from the rest of the world. As a result, people are not being treated properly.”

LUMS Vice Chancellor, Dr. Arshad Ahmad commented on the value alumni bring to their alma mater. “We have to recognise that the future of LUMS is in the hands of its alumni. We already have a generous alumni body of almost 16 thousand around the world and their generosity will sustain LUMS and the resources it needs for growth. We see the role of alumni being highly impactful in directing LUMS.” He added that SBASSE has given a vision for the way forward in order to unify the various disciplines at LUMS. “The school was forged with a no borders philosophy, and faculty and students together cross inter-disciplinary boundaries. This is the need of the hour as none of the grand challenges facing Pakistan can be solved by one discipline.”

Dean, SBASSE, Dr. Sabieh Anwar said that the mission of the school is to make an impact. “We want to transform the lives of our students, faculty and staff, as well as the society at large.” Mr. Muhammad Zaka-ur-Rehman was an important contributor to Pakistan’s pharmaceutical landscape and the former CEO of Schazoo Zaka, which was established in 1951 to design, develop and manufacture pharmaceutical products. The Muhammad Zaka-ur-Rehman Microbial Genomic and Multidrug Resistance (MDR) Laboratory at LUMS will forward his legacy and produce high impact research in areas crucial to the pharmaceutical industry like drug discovery and antimicrobial resistance.
