A day-long National Conference titled `Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for Life Science’ was held in the Nabab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bhaban of Dhaka University on Saturday.
The Bangladesh Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BSBMB) organized the function in cooperation with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of DU.
DU Vice-Chancellor (VC) Professor AAMS Arefin Siddique inaugurated the conference as the chief guest.
In his speech, the VC stressed the need for conducting biological research on mental function of a human being to enrich the human civilization.
He said, scientific research has been increased in the 21st century, but humane values have not been increased accordingly. Therefore, a man is now killing another in the name of religion across the world, he added.
The miscreants are also trying to destroy the human civilization by misusing the scientific invention and innovations, he mentioned.
Referring to the scientists’ role in fighting various diseases including cancer and diabetes through their biological research, the VC hoped that the general people of the country would be able to make their life secured in the days to come.
