This is a step towards augmenting scientific research capabilities.

It is now integrated with the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF).

Inauguration took place in the presence of Prof. Manindra Agrawal, Director, IIT Kanpur, Dr. Dipti Kakkar Thukral, Scientist G, DST_ANRF.

Other present were Dr T Thangaradjou, Scientist F, DST_ANRF and Prof. Shalabh, Dean of Academic Affairs, IIT Kanpur, say sources from IIT Kanpur.

Revolutionary Technology

Cryo-EM is a revolutionary technology that allows scientists to visualize biological molecules, such as proteins and viruses, in their near-native states and at unprecedented resolutions, say sources from IIT Kanpur.

This detailed view is crucial for understanding the fundamental processes of life and for designing novel drugs and therapies.

The state-of-the-art facility at IIT Kanpur is a significant milestone in India’s pursuit of self-reliance in life science research in line with the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.

It is one of four such high-end facilities in strategic locations across the nation to support research and ground-breaking discoveries in structural biology, say sources from IIT Kanpur.

This will help to push the boundaries of technology to unravel the complexities of biological systems and open up new frontiers in drug discovery, disease research, and beyond.

We excitedly look forward to the ground-breaking discoveries that will undoubtedly emerge from this new facility, he said.
