India\u2019s first diabetes biobank has been established in Chennai, a collaboration between the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF). This biobank, a crucial step in advancing scientific research, will collect, process, store, and distribute biological samples to study diabetes, its causes, variations, and related disorders, contributing to global health research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The biobank aims to facilitate advanced research into the causes of diabetes, focusing on its unique patterns in India and related health conditions.\u00a0Dr. V. Mohan, chairman of MDRF,<\/strong>\u00a0highlighted that the biobank would aid in identifying novel biomarkers for early diagnosis and developing personalized treatment strategies for diabetes. The facility houses blood samples from two major ICMR-funded studies: the\u00a0ICMR-India Diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB)<\/strong>\u00a0study and the Registry of Young-Onset Diabetes, which will provide critical data for future research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" India\u2019s first diabetes biobank has been established in Chennai, a collaboration between the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF).
