"To translate concepts developed in basic biological research to commercially viable technologies for health care"
CSIR-IGIB (Institute of Genomics and
Integrative Biology) is a premier Institute carrying out research
leading to generation of new knowledge and development of
technologies in various areas of Modern Biotechnology with a special
focus on Genomics and Genome informatics
CSIR-IGIB (Institute of
genomics and Integrative Biology) formerly Centre for Biochemical
Technology (CBT) is a constituent Laboratory of the Council of Scientific and Industrial
Research (CSIR) engaged in various aspects of
Biotechnology research. Centre was established with the core
competence in preparative biochemistry for isolation of fine
biochemicals from natural resources viz., proteins, lipids, enzymes;
synthesizing bioorganic compounds like peptides, oligonucleotides
and preparing reagents required for recombinant - DNA research. As
biochemical technology enters the genomics era, the Centre is in the
process of transforming from a singular laboratory working in the
area of biochemical research to a network laboratory, leading to the
formation of a virtual institute of new biology.
