Globally, there has been a rise in the use of model systems that are based on human cells and biology, including 3D tissues, organoids, organ-on-chip etc. These systems can better recapitulate facets of human biology compared to animal models, and their use has been increasing globally in the past decade.
The
Centre for Predictive Human Model Systems (CPHMS) at Atal Incubation Centre-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (AIC-CCMB) has been working towards enabling the use of these emerging technologies in India for past two years.
We are now building an open access, interactive database of these technologies in India and what are the current gaps in skills, infrastructure, and raw materials in this space. This database would help in directing public and private grants and funding towards gap areas that are specific to India. This would also help in visualizing the scientific landscape, forging collaborations, sharing resources and raw materials for the community. Thus, we would request the members of this scientific community to spare few minutes to fill this form.
Please note the data filled in this form will be published as a part of an open access database. By filling this form you consent to making your information (which includes contact email) filled below available online .
