Advanced Technology Platform Centre

RCB runs a state-of-the-art Advanced Technology Platform Centre (ATPC), a national facility offering services for mass spectrometry, optical and electron microscopy, genomics, protein puri􀃶cation, molecular interactions, and 􀃸ow cytometry to both academia and industry. The primary goal of the ATPC is to accelerate innovations in science & technology and plug the gap in the innovation pipeline that has previously attenuated the ability of Indian researchers to realize their true potential. The centre is equipped with state-of-the-art research facilities, skilled personnel, and world-class infrastructure.

Indian Biological Data Centre

RCB has established the Indian Biological Data Centre (IBDC) as the national repository for life science data. IBDC is mandated to archive all life science data generated from publicly funded research in India. Besides archiving data, IBDC shall also develop highly curated data sets to facilitate knowledge discovery in various domains of the life sciences, and would also provide infrastructure and expertise for biological data analysis. Fundamentally, IBDC is committed to the spirit of data sharing as per FAIR data principles. The centre is run by a dedicated team of trained personnel under the supervision of RCB.

BioNEST Bio-Incubator (BBB)

RCB operates the BSC BioNEST Bio-Incubator (BBB) in the NCR Biocluster with a vision to foster innovation, research, and entrepreneurial activities in biotechnology-related areas. BBB aims to stimulate the growth of biotechnology-based start-up companies by providing excellent incubation facilities. The BBB infrastructure spread across 35000 sq ft., includes laboratory space, office space, professional business suites, culture facilities, and the necessary instrumentation. The incubatees also have access to the ATPC facilities. Currently, the BBB houses 28 start-up companies working in various areas of biotechnology.
