Agilent Technologies and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) have announced a strategic collaboration to launch the Agilent-TIFR Center of Translational Research in Hyderabad on Friday.
The centre will play a pivotal role in supporting the Advanced Research Unit on Metabolism, Development & Ageing (ARUMDA) — one of India’s most ambitious government-supported initiatives in human health. ARUMDA is focused on bridging fundamental biology with clinical insights for data-driven discovery and inform public health strategies to strengthen efforts in nutrition and metabolism research.
This partnership brings together Agilent’s global expertise in analytical science with TIFR’s research endeavors to address the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and malnutrition in the country. Agilent’s role centers on enabling this vision through high-performance analytical solutions that support impactful translational research.
“Our partnership with TIFR reflects Agilent’s commitment to enabling transformative science through technology, collaboration, and shared purpose,” said Agilent Technologies India’s country general manager Nandakumar Kalathil.
TIFR-Hyderabad Director M. Krishnamurthy said that the centre will enhance our scientific capabilities and contribute to national efforts in addressing the growing burden of lifestyle-related diseases.
The collaboration also supports the development of a new analytical facility in Hyderabad, established in partnership with the National Analytical Facility for Research in Nutrition and Metabolism, under the ARUMDA umbrella, said a press release.
