in the areas of genomics and precision medicine through multiple initiatives
that are being driven globally. With the collaboration between SciGenom and
CHARUSAT – An A+ Grade University, we hope to develop breakthroughs in
Precision Medicine, Environmental remediation and Agricultural productivity.
Simultaneously, we are working towards the preservation of the rich
bio-cultural diversity and heritage of India through our ‘Hortus Malabaricus- Medicinal Plant Garden’ started by SciGenom
Research Foundation (SGRF) in 2016.
Therefore, this partnership will further strengthen the goal of SciGenom
of developing an integrated ecosystem of science-focused entrepreneurs through
incubation, proof of concept validation, international collaborations, talent
development and funding.”
Dr. R.V. Upadhyay, Provost, CHARUSAT, said, “CHARUSAT
is a top-ranked University of the nation having A+ grade from NAAC. Research
and Development are adopted as the flywheel by CHARUSAT to propel its
teaching-learning as well as societal development activities. This Ph.D.
program in collaboration with SciGenom is aimed at addressing the talent crunch
in the industry and contributing to building the research and development
capacity of India. With the support of SciGenom, we will be able to get our
students to collaborate with national and international universities resulting
in globally recognised solutions in the area of cancer management,
environmental sustainability and food security.”
This Ph.D. program
with CHARUSAT will be India’s unique program where the students will get an
opportunity to directly work on live projects with an industrial body in their
