THSTI is developed as a part of the interdisciplinary NCR Biotech Science Cluster located at Faridabad, in the National Capital Region. THSTI is designed as a dynamic, interactive organization with a mission to conduct innovative translational research and to develop research collaborations across disciplines and professions to translate concepts into tangible products to improve human health.
THSTI has set up niche centres for research in areas relevant to planned translational work. They are: Vaccine and Infectious Disease Research Centre (VIDRC), Paediatric Biology Centre (PBC), Centre for Bio-design & Diagnostics (CBD), Drug Discovery Research Centre (DDRC), Centre for Human Microbial Ecology (CHME), Policy Centre for Biomedical Research (PCBR). Clinical Development Service Agency (CDSA) and the National Bio-design Alliance (NBA) are THSTIs extramural centres.
This advertisement is to fill up the vacancy under Centre for Bio- design & Diagnostics (CBD).
Centre for Bio-design and Diagnostics (CBD) has been established as a niche centre of THSTI. The primary mission of this centre is to promote an effective translational route of basic findings through a multidisciplinary approach, combining new bio markers, medical technology innovation, product development and clinical expertise. The centre would focus on establishing high quality, affordable technologies and ensuring their development to reach patients. Major areas of research are broadly divided between diagnostics and medical technologies covering implants and devices. The diagnostics focus includes protein and antibody engineering, detection technologies and concepts, nucleic acid diagnostics, new clinical markers, decentralized diagnostics (Point-of-Care), bio-organic chemistry diagnostic technologies, bio-affinity test concepts and systems, micro- fluidics, miniaturization, different reporter alternatives multiplexing. Implants and devices cover products incorporating novel biomaterials, drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, aerosol engineering, prostheses, frugal innovation and advanced systems for soft matter characterization.
