Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB)

The exploration programs at the CCMB are in three main categories - high quality basic research in the leading areas of modern biology, research relevant to societal needs, and application-oriented research towards commercialisation. CCMBs' main fields of targets are high quality basic research and training in leading areas of modern biology, and promote centralized national facilities for new and modern techniques in the inter-disciplinary areas of biology. Among the major areas of research belong:

• Tumor biology
• Cataract & other eye diseases
• Applications of DNA fingerprinting
• Conservation of endangered species
• Molecular approaches in animal breeding
• Aquaculture
• Infectious diseases
• Applied processes & products
