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.
The day ended with a flute recital by Pandit Ronu Majumdar, an exponent from Maihar Gharana of Hindustani classical music. The recital followed a discussion with the artists on their traditions and practices in the music community.
CCMB Director Dr Vinay Nandicoori also addressed the audience. He said that CCMB was uniquely placed with its deep expertise in basic science as well as being in an ecosystem that facilitates translation of our findings.
