BENGALURU: The National Center for Biological Sciences (NCBS), Bengaluru, as part of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), on Friday announced a new institutional alliance. NCBS and Tata Institute of Genetics and Society (TIGS,
Emphasizing the importance of genetics, the NCBS pointed out that genetics and genomics dominate our everyday lives and that the genomic revolution allows us to link genetic information to appearance, or phenotype, as never before.
Such understanding, it says, provides the ability to intervene constructively and actively in the natural world, in health, agriculture and well-being.
“NCBS-TIFR is a leading research institute dedicated to fundamental research at all levels of biology, covering a wide variety of topics spanning from molecules to ecosystems, and from nanoseconds to evolutionary time. It aims at the life sciences.” To strengthen and expand knowledge, create and facilitate exemplary human capital and develop novel tools and technologies to enhance the capacity of life science research in the country,” a statement from NCBS read.
The statement said that TIGS emerged in 2016 as the result of philanthropic support from Tata Trusts and seeks to support research activities, training personnel and advance knowledge that enables the broader applications of genetics and genomics to benefit human health. provides facilities. Agriculture.
“This major, new collaborative opportunity conceived between NCBS-TIFR and TIGS seeks to bring together recently developed science and technologies to address critical fundamental and applied questions in the fields of human health and agriculture. It is expected to push the boundaries of basic and applied research for the benefit of the society,” said NCBS, which is a member of Bangalore Life Science Cluster (BLISC).
NCBS Director Satyajit Meyer said that the Center is pleased to partner with TIGS as it provides an excellent opportunity for NCBS researchers to engage with questions relating to both genetics and society, as well as broaden TIGS’s collaborative footprint at BLISC. Is. ,
Rakesh Mishra, Director, TIGS said: “NCBS, joining hands with TIGS, brought together high quality science to address societal problems in the field of rare genetic diseases, infectious diseases and nutrition by using state-of-the-art science and technology May go.”
Manoj, Trustee, TIGS, pointed out that recent breakthrough technologies in genetics have begun to demonstrate some incredible applications in human health and food security issues, he said, adding that he has found many of them including the adaptation and flexibility of collaboration. I believed in making a positive contribution. environment, both natural and man-made, to reduce or control the effects of a changing global climate.
S Ramakrishnan, Director, TIFR, said: “This collaboration will certainly bring about the most advanced research developments in genetics and technologies to address both fundamental and practical questions with respect to the fields of human health and agriculture, which are critical to our country. ”
