Sree Chitra Tiroal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) is unique for him, that Trifecta of services, science and politics can be connected to Earth, microbiologist and virologist Gagandeep Kang.
On Saturday morning she spoke here in the convening of 41. The doses of SCTIMST.
Dr. Kang, who is now the director of enteric, diagnostics, genomics and epidemiology, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said India has taken the lead in drug and vaccines for the world, but this was not the case with diagnosis and equipment.
About 80% of the equipment used in the country was imported. Sctimst was an institute that has made the most change in this situation, but the challenge was that this industry and country would realize the possibilities of development and evaluation that existed here. It was often the position that after the transfer of technology it was responsible for the industry to use it. However, industrial industries in the field of facilities in the country were small companies that would still need support for institutions such as SCTIMST, government and politicians to expand operations.
Dr. Kang also asked why the scaling saw in drugs and vaccines in the country could not be seen on devices. “I hope what you have here in translation and interdisciplinary cooperation will allow us to work on this mission.”
She said the role of Sctimst that the training that young graduates came here would give them certainty to think about change and from there would come innovations.
It emphasized the need for expertise, interdisciplinarity and cooperation to prepare a way for new development.
Dr. Kang recognized the strengths of Sctimst’s empathy for the population that it served and its strong ethics, and said, “Empathy and ethics is the foundation on which we have to build our future.”
Former chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization S. S. S. S., who was the main guest of the event, emphasized the need for cooperation between institutes such as SCTIMST, and those who work in space technology, especially when interest in travel increases. Some impacts of the cosmic environment were well known, such as muscle atrophy, bone loss or psychological problems, but the future offered in the field of research on how to deal with a long -term space, he said.
