At #NationalTechnologyDay2026, BRIC–NII proudly stood at the forefront—not just as the host venue for the celebration organised by @DBTIndia, but as an active contributor to India’s technology vision.
In the Biopharma & Health Technologies pavilion, our first exhibit showcased NII-5D—an indigenous next-generation antimalarial candidate with multistage efficacy against the parasite lifecycle, including resistant strains, transmission blocking, and liver-stage activity. A powerful example of science moving from discovery to translational impact.
Here’s a glimpse of Dr. Agam P. Singh interacting with Hon’ble Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh, Dr Rajiv Bahl DG @ICMRDELHI and Dr. Rajesh S. Gokhale Secretary @DBTIndia at #VigyanTech2026, where science met national purpose. 🇮🇳🔬

An inspiring lecture by Prof @SatchinPanda at BRIC-NII on the Circadian Rhythm Theory of Health.
For two hours, the audience was completely engaged—driven by elegant science, compelling storytelling, and continuous questions. Each experiment was a reminder of how fundamental research can seamlessly translate into community benefit and inform public policy.

Dr. G.P. Talwar turns 🎂100🎂 this year — founder of the National Institute of Immunology, India.
Still shows up to work daily at the Talwar Foundation. Sharp mind, strong memory, fully independent.
His secret? Circadian Discipline.
A lifelong commitment to circadian rhythm—fixed sleep, wake, and meal times.
A powerful reminder: Circadian habit may be the foundational longevity hack.

First Meeting of BRIC-Research Advisory Board (BRIC-RAB)
The Biotechnology Research and Innovation Council (BRIC) is an Apex Autonomous Body established as a registered Society, formed by subsuming 14 Autonomous Institutes of the Department of Biotechnology (DBT). To ensure effective oversight of BRIC's research initiatives, a Research Advisory Board (RAB) has been constituted under the Chairpersonship of Prof. K. VijayRaghavan, DAE Homi Bhabha Professor, former Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, and former Secretary, DBT. BRIC-RAB is responsible for guiding, reviewing, and monitoring the research activities conducted by BRIC Institutes (iBRIC) and fostering deliberations for developing new missions and targeted programs.
The inaugural meeting of the BRIC-Research Advisory Board (BRIC-RAB) was held on 27th-28th March 2026 at the Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB), Faridabad. The two-day event featured a dynamic gathering deliberating on bold and ambitious national initiatives, prioritizing shared infrastructure while envisioning governance reforms designed to guide BRIC's transformation into a cohesive, decentralized national biotechnology laboratory.
