Science & Technology, Govt. of India. The institute conducts innovative translational research
and to develop research collaborations across disciplines and professions to translate concepts
into products to improve human health.
2. BRIC-THSTI has built several inter-institutional collaborations and connectivity with industry
supported by well-trained teams of research and laboratory staff. THSTI has established various
centres namely (a) Centre for Maternal and Child Health, (b) Centre for Virus Research,
Therapeutics and Vaccines (c) Centre for Tuberculosis Research (d) Centre for Microbial
Research, (e) Centre for Immunobiology and Immunotherapy (f) Centre for Drug Discovery (g)
Clinical Development Services Agency (h) Computational and Mathematical Biology Centre (i)
Centre for Bio-design and Diagnostics. These centres are strengthened by many core facilities
viz. Bioassay Laboratory, Biorepository, Biosafety Level-3 Lab, Multi-Omics facility, Experimental
Animal Facility, Vaccine design and Development facility, Medical Research Centre, Translational
Research Facility etc. that serve as huge resources for the research programmes of THSTI and
also the National Capital Region Biotech Science Cluster and other academic and industrial
partners. BRIC-THSTI trains the next generation of scientific leaders through many ambitious
and globally competitive academic courses which promotes research and innovation through
multi-disciplinary academia-industry partnerships.
