The Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), under Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has tied up with the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Hyderabad today to make efforts to reduce the disease burden among the masses.
In this connection, an interactive meeting was organised by Rakesh Mishra, Director, CSIR-CCMB along with his scientists and a NIMS delegation of clinicians led by K Manohar, its Director.
The CCMB director said with the existing expertise in modern biology and facilities will be an advantage to team up with clinicians of NIMS to develop strategies in identifying, preventing and ultimately curing the rare diseases, cardiomyopathies, obesity, diabetes, sickle cell anaemia, and malaria.
Training programmes with the involvement of the faculty of both institutes to make personnel industry-ready in the areas of cell biology, forensics and bioinformatics will be taken up.
In the next five years of the tie up both CSIR-CCMB and NIMS will work together to develop deliverables for patient healthcare, a press release said.
