Department
of Biotechnology (DBT), India Cancer Biology
task force will facilitate research collaborations,
foster research and bring the cancer experts
together. DBT funds diverse categories
of cancer research in epidemiology, molecular
biology, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics,
epigenetics, genomewide association studies,
biostatistics, imaging, cell line and animal
models. It will also serve as a portal
for cancer investigators to discuss and
exchange research ideas. From a DBT perspective,
this database will allow the DBT and other
agencies to identify and form potential
research consortia in order to formulate
focused strategies to investigate specific
types of cancers. It will also make it
simpler to monitor and quantify achievements
in the field of cancer biology and therapy.
