Original YouTube Lecture that is summarized below for students.
Dr. Jayesh Bellare discusses ‘The Material Basis of Homeopathic Medicines: Nanoparticles of the starting material’ during the ‘New Horizons in Water Science – Evidence for Homeopathy’ at 1 Wimpole Street, home of the Royal Society of Medicine in London.Dr. Bellare is the Institute Chair Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. He has a keen interest in nanostructured materials for healthcare and biomedical devices. His research includes 3D scaffolds, hollow-fiber-membranes, stem-cell expansion, and nanomedicines across multiple systems of medicines (modern or allopathic, as well as traditional or Ayurvedic, and alternative, such as Homeopathy, where he is globally recognized and acknowledged).
He is an expert in cryoelectron microscopy of soft nanomaterials and an elected Fellow of the National Academy of Science in India, the Indian National Academy of Engineering, The Maharashtra Academy of Sciences, and the Electron Microscopy Society of India. He did his B.Tech in Chemical Engineering, awarded by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Bombay, has a PhD in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science from University of Minnesota, USA, and Post-Doctoral work at UMass Amherst and M.I.T., USA. He was the first Head of IITB’s Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering and is also part of IITB’s Nanotechnology Centre. He is a consultant to several industries, advisor to many Government panels and institutions, and has served on the board of directors of two companies. He has numerous publications, patents and awards, including the Piercy Distinguished Visiting Professorship at the University of Minnesota, USA and the National Academy-Reliance Platinum Jubilee Award for application-oriented research.
