Principal scientific adviser Prof K VijayRaghavan underlined the importance of restructuring science research institutes in the country and greater collaborations among scientists interacting across disciplines as well as the industry, on Tuesday.
Addressing a virtual meeting on the occasion of CSIR-CCMB’s Founder’s day on the occasion of birth anniversary of their Founder-Director Dr P M Bhargava, he said it was necessary to nurture young scientists to address questions of their interests while forging collaborations. “This is imperative for addressing the questions of future,” he said.
“Dr Bhargava set the foundation for setting up a world class research institute in life sciences in India. The institute’s vision was and has been to address fundamental questions of biology, and address societal challenges through it. Now after more than 40 years and training more than 400 PhD students, we see our students playing an important role in multiple areas of life sciences,” said Director Dr Vinay K Nandicoori.
