BENGALURU: The Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) and Thermo Fisher Scientific, supplier of analytical instruments, life sciences solutions, specialty diagnostics, laboratory, pharmaceutical and biotechnology services, on Wednesday announced a partnership to establish a Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
The state-of-the-art facility will foster innovation and accelerate breakthroughs in India’s rapidly growing biotech sector.It will enable researchers to enhance expertise & achieve entrepreneurial goals.
The centre will be set up at the C-CAMP premises in Bengaluru. Thermo Fisher will equip the facility with workflow solutions for flow cytometry, molecular biology etc and also provide research and training opportunities.
C-CAMP, an initiative of the Department of Biotechnology, will provide infrastructure and access to start-ups under its umbrella. The collaboration aims to drive technological advancements and elevate India’s global standing in biotechnology.
Amit Chopra, managing director, India & South Asia, Thermo Fisher Scientific, said: “India’s bio-economy has consistently witnessed robust double-digit growth over the past decade, projected to reach $300 billion by 2030… With our industry-leading presence and depth and scale of capabilities, we are committed to supporting the government’s efforts and elevating India’s global standing in the biotechnology domain. Our partnership with C-CAMP reinforces this commitment, and is aimed at driving technological advancements and scientific excellence.”
Welcoming the move, Taslimarif Saiyed, C-CMAP director & CEO, while pointing out that Thermo Fisher plays a vital role in biosciences research and development said C-CAMP believes in the importance of forging deeper collaborations with such companies to provide access to high-end technology platforms for researchers, innovators and developers.
“We rely on Thermo Fisher’s extensive portfolio including Attune Flow Cytometer, imaging solutions (EVOS), ultra-low temperature freezers, incubators, centrifuges and sequencers to advance our work in molecular biology, cell biology, flow cytometry, mass spectrometry and genomics. This recent collaboration will further enable innovators, both within and outside of C-CAMP, to access state-of-the-art technical solutions, empowering them to pursue scientific knowledge and build technologies for a better India,” he added.
