Blockchain for Impact (BFI) and Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR)-Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to foster biomedical research and innovation under the aegis of the BFI-BIOME Virtual Network Programme.
This partnership will harness the drug research prowess of CSIR-CDRI to support the development of indigenous therapeutic interventions for tackling communicable and non-communicable diseases.
Under this collaboration, BFI will fund Lucknow-based CDRI over three years for conducting upstream research in disease biology and translating the results into therapeutics to face healthcare challenges of the future.
With CSIR-CDRI, a premier drug research institute of India, now a part of the BFI-BIOME Virtual Network Programme, BFI is positioned to contribute to national health missions and goals.
