India Alliance promotes clinical and public health research

摘要

The India Alliance, an ￡80 million joint initiative between the Government of India's Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and the Wellcome Trust, has launched a new funding stream to tackle the dearth of clinical and public health research done in the country.Biomedical research centres across the country are internationally recognised for nurturing some of the brightest minds in the world. But a lack of infrastructure and resources has, until now, prevented translation of biomedical discoveries into public health solutions for India's 1-2 billion population.
