Network Program on Cancer Research
Gujarat State Biotechnology Mission has initiated Research Support Scheme for providing financial support to Universities/ Colleges/ Institutions. GSBTM has recommended 3 projects under the “Networking Program on Cancer Research”. Currently,
the projects are sanctioned to The Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute, Ahmedabad and Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre under this program; and they work in the area of Oral Cancer (Male) and Breast & Ovarian cancer (Female). The program is coordinated
by GSBTM.
