Hyderabad: Hyderabad-based CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) celebrated its 34th Foundation Day here on Friday. Multiple activities were organised by the authorities for CCMB students, staff and public, which included research scholars presenting their work.

The Foundation Day lecture was delivered by Dr Shekhar Mande, Director-General, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). In his talk, he spoke of how scientists understand structures of protein complexes and their functions — a field where a large amount of biological data is generated. Thus the next big question lies in finding meaningful inferences from these large datasets. He pointed out this study is extremely important for the pharma and life science industry.
