BIOTECHNOLOGY
The biotechnology revolution is sweeping
the globe and India is no exception. Reports indicate that India will
witness a fair amount of growth in this sector in the near future. Some
of the areas, which are likely to witness immediate growth in India, in
the sphere of biotechnology, include, contract research and bioinformatics.
The low cost of research, a well developed information technology sector,
capabilities in developing and use of sophisticated data management and
analysis tools to mine data such as gene and protein sequences are likely
to usher in a biotech boom.
We have completed phase II of our research
in the sphere of biotechnology. We welcome your inputs on our report and
would be glad to have your inputs to ensure that the subsequent phase
of our research is comprehensive and contemporary.
