Union Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal on Wednesday announced proposals to establish a national biotechnology management center, with 10 regional technologies transfer cells, and a biotechnology industry and development assessment council. These would promote commercialization of the scientific and technological outputs of public funded R&D institutions, particularly in the emerging area of biotechnology.
They would complement the two projects in the pipeline, an institute of transactional research in health to seamlessly dovetail outputs in genomic research to clinical trial stages, and research industry clusters as join ventures with major industry players. The first cluster with the focus on agri-food industry was coming up in Punjab.
