Aiming to find out novel ways to cure cancer, two Bangalore-based institutes have joined hands with the University of Cambridge for launching a new research initiative.
The motive behind the tie up is to understand cellular mechanisms associated with the disease, and how spread of cancer in the body can be tamed using drugs.
With the financial aid of Rs 94 crore from the department of biotechnology, the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) and the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (inStem) will collaborate with the renowned university and Medical Research Council of the UK.
