DR. GAYATRI SABERWAL

My group researches the bio-pharma and related health industries, both in India and abroad. Such studies, both quantitatve and qualitative, should prove useful to policy making that is geared to supporting an innovative industry.

In addition we have a series of general articles in Current Science entitled 'Bio-business in brief'. These articles highlight different aspects of drug discovery and development, including institutional arrangements, that are possibly of interest to scientists and policy researchers. We hope that they will contribute to a debate that is vital to producing a knowledge driven industry, itself important to ensure a healthier India.
