Our Vision
In a powerful model of public-private partnership, IISER Pune and Prashanti Cancer Care Mission will bring together clinicians and researchers to integrate cancer research, training, and education. This Centre will be a first-of-its-kind initiative in India with world-class infrastructure and facilities for multidisciplinary training in translational cancer research. We anticipate that the activities of the Centre will have a direct positive impact on the national capacity for translational cancer research and, most importantly, on effective management of cancer in India.
CTCR is initiated with a seed grant from Bajaj Auto
