This collaboration brings together the expertise of both institutes, driving biomedical research and innovation and targeting translational outcomes for the early diagnosis of patients suffering from recurrent UTI.
As per the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the two organisations, BFI will support a project exploring genetic and epigenetic factors to identify potential marks for recurrent urinary tract infections.
