The Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) is an initiative of the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science, Technology and Earth Sciences, Govt. of India. Established in 2009 with a mandate to enable cutting edge Life Sciences Research and Innovation, C-CAMP is the country’s most exciting life sciences innovation hub bringing together academia, industry and the startup ecosystem - all on one platform. It is also a part of the one of the country’s earliest bio-clusters, the Bangalore Bio-Cluster.[1][2]

Vision[edit]

C-CAMP is envisioned to be an enabler for cutting-edge Bioscience research and innovation through its two major arms: services in state-of-the-art platform technologies and facilitation of Life Sciences innovation and entrepreneurship. It acts as the provider and developer of high-end technologies in life sciences to enable scientific activity and entrepreneurship. C-CAMP allows investigators to use techniques as tools and not be limited by technological barriers while pursuing challenging scientific questions. 250+ institutes and organisations from all across India have accessed its technology platforms. Altogether C-CAMP supported publications now number 100+.[citation needed]

From lab-space and high-end technical resources, to active involvement in Seed Funding schemes, scientific and business Mentorship and Accelerator programs, it provides a comprehensive, all-round support system to bio entrepreneurs with exciting deep-science ideas.[citation needed]

C-CAMP has directly funded, incubated and mentored over 100 start-ups over the last few years and is connected to about 500 startups and entrepreneurs across the country.

Technologies and services[edit]

C-CAMP is mandated to provide high-end platform technologies and expertise to all the academic and industrial scientific researchers in and around India. Some functions provided by its facilities include:

Innovation and entrepreneurship[edit]

As a part of C-CAMP’s core mandate to nurture entrepreneurs in Biosciences across the country, it supports and handholds innovators on their journey to translate a bench-level idea into a full-fledged profit-making business venture. The support facilities C-CAMP provides are:
