It gives me great pleasure to represent the CSIR-IICB.
The CSIR-IICB has been divided under six divisions namely Cancer Biology & Inflammatory Disorder, Cell Biology & Physiology, Infectious Diseases and Immunology, Molecular Genetics, Organic & Medicinal Chemistry and Structural Biology & Bioinformatics. Our research covers all areas of Chemical Biology, in alignment with the mandate of CSIR-IICB. We have made significant contributions to a number of cutting-edge research projects and have initiated several new projects. As in previous years, this year also we have bagged a huge number of high-quality research papers published in reputable international journals. A good number of patents has been filed and granted in the India and abroad and several MoUs was signed. Our success is measured by the tangible results that are reflected in our Key Performance Indicators. Over the past year, our KPIs have provided invaluable insights into our research output.
Our commitment to society is demonstrated through our different outreach programmes. We conducted Skill Development programme to enhance both technical and soft skills of students and prepared them for their future endeavor. We arrange laboratory visits for college students to encourage their aspiration towards research. We have CSIR Jigyasa Programmes to foster young minds toward science. We also have a strong presence in social media to reach all segments of society.
The efficient and smooth flow of our research is a result of our strong administrative and technical support divisions and facilities at CSIR-IICB. Our success is largely based on their behind-the-scenes contributions, providing essential services.
I would like to appreciate the efforts of our Scientists, researchers, staff, partners, and stakeholders who have contributed to our success. Their unwavering dedication are the driving forces behind our progress. I take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to DG, CSIR and our Mentor for their guidance. I express my sincere gratitude to our Research Council members and Management council members for their constant support. Together, we will continue to build a brighter future for the society.
In the coming days, we will remain committed to our vision, mission and mandates and continue to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and make a meaningful impact on society.
