New supply center by Thermo Fisher Scientific at AIC-CCMB promises faster access to essential research consumables in Hyderabad.
A special ‘supply center’ providing accessibility to essential research consumables for the life science research community in and around the (AIC-CCMB) Atal Incubation Centre-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology campus at Uppal in Hyderabad was inaugurated on Wednesday (June 18, 2025).
CSIR-CCMB Director Vinay Kumar Nandicoori dedicated the centre set up by ‘Thermo Fisher Scientific’ to the researchers in the area including those working at Centre for DNA Fingerprinting & Diagnostics (CDFD), National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) and others, in the presence of AIC-CCMB CEO N. Madhusudana Rao.
Dr. Kumar said the supply centre promises to reduce the usual time lags in getting the necessary chemical agents like enzymes for research purposes, as steady supply will now be available. “It will be good for the entire eco-system as procurements otherwise could be cumbersome,” he said.
Thermo Fisher’s director Jayabharath Reddy said they are committed to support scientific innovation and the new supply center will enable start ups and researchers at CCMB and surrounding institutions to gain access to critical research consumables. “Specialised consumables have always been a challenge for researchers, sometimes losing months in the process of ordering to delivering. Our centre will be putting essential materials right on campus, enabling faster scientific breakthroughs,” he said
The new centre is located adjacent to the company’s Centre for Innovation (CFI) established at the AIC-CCMB. The CFI was set up for fostering collaborations and advancing scientific breakthroughs in life sciences. Earlier, AIC-CCMB and Thermo Fisher are also holding a three-day workshop on ‘Cell Health Analysis’ to enhance technical skills of the researchers in cell based assays used in biomedical research and drug discovery.
“Cell analysis is crucial in developing therapies for cancer and other diseases. This workshop gives researchers hands-on exposure to advanced tools,” said Dr. Rao.
