The Proteomics Lab at CCMB was set up in 2001-02. The CCMB Proteomics lab was the first major Proteomics initiative in India supported by the CSIR to launch work on cancer proteomics. Since its inception, the facility has grown both in infrastructure as well as in its research activities. The lab is engaged in research programmes of basic and clinical relevance; it provides core support to other projects of the institute using proteomics approaches; and in education. During the past years the facility has advanced and contributed on all the above fronts. |
