Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI) is an autonomous Institute of the Department of Biotechnology under the Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of India. THSTI is developed as a part of the interdisciplinary NCR Biotech Science Cluster located at Faridabad, in the National Capital Region.
This recruitment notice is for Policy Centre for Biomedical Research (PCBR). The functions of the centre are to provide support in the areas of Vaccine, Diagnostics, Medical Devices and Drugs for translation to humans and translation to practice under the following activities:
- Intelligent Ideas for innovation: The centre looks at the priority setting based on an appropriate matrix suitable for national, geographical and sub-geographical needs, in disease areas where burden is high and where products are available. The need finding exercise is based on either a meeting of stakeholders or reaching a consensus gathered through appropriately designed e-surveys, followed by analysis of data based on globally acceptable matrix.
- Exploring strategies where opportunities exist but implementation is not happening: There are opportunities in public health, where interventions available globally are not being implemented in our country. A division of the unit also explores alternate/ innovative strategies to address the implementation aspect. Sometimes prohibitive cost and insufficient information available to various stakeholders are the prime reasons of low uptake of
a particular product developed. The prohibitive cost can be addressed by bringing in the indigenous manufacturers on board, providing them appropriate supportive supervision and also providing them information about the available funding to cushion the risk in the product development. The division also provides the manufacturers with analysis of available platforms and their respective regulatory requirements for fast-track clearance for licensure.
- Technology diffusion and demand creation: This activity is executed by collaborating with appropriate stakeholders and communicating with the policy-makers, parliamentarians, civil society organizations etc. and is expected to facilitate uptake of a product that has already been developed and is useful for public health.
