The proposed centre would be the first of its kind to enable real-time characterisation across multiple length scales for fundamental and industrial R&D purposes. This initiative aims to bring together scientists from a broad range of scientific disciplines, including physical sciences, chemistry, biology, and pharmaceutical studies, to address common scientific goals that can only be addressed by using such
sophisticated microscopy techniques.
Led by Prof BS Murty, Director, a team of researchers from IITH with Dr Sai Rama Krishna Malladi as the Principal Investigator, the SATHI-CISCoM facility will be supported by 15 academic, research, and industrial organisations. University of Hyderabad (UoH), Telangana State Council for Higher Education, Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology Nagpur, National Institute of Technology Raipur, National Institute of Technology Warangal, Chaitanya Bharati Institute of Technology Hyderabad, Sri Vishnu Educational Society Hyderabad, International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI), Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT-H), LV Prasad Eye Institute Hyderabad, Dr. Reddy’s Labs Hyderabad, Bharat Biotech Hyderabad, Amara Raja Group Tirupati, TATA Steel will put a collective effort at SATYHI-CISCoM.
