    India has made quite a progress in the medical field in the past few decades. The advanced technologies and regular efforts made by medical professionals, be it physicians or Ph.D's, has only led us to an era where we can enjoy high quality medical care and treatments. Many life threatening diseases that were believed to be incurable are just a memory in the past now. Regular researches conducted by various medical and research institutes & the tireless efforts of dedicated professionals all over the world have proved to be a boon for the medical field by lessening the impact of some of the greatest health diseases including heart diseases, diabetes and cancer.


    The Indian council of medical research- ICMR in New Delhi is one of the world's oldest medical- research bodies. Their priority is control and management of the communicable diseases, nutritional diseases, fertility control, child and maternal health, occupational diseases, and other research projects on the major non- communicable diseases like blindness, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Stem cell research has also become a famous, new and exciting field of research having a strong and novel potential in the clinical applications.


    Cancer once became one of the deadliest diseases haunting the populations, but the discovery of CSCs, i.e. the cancer stem cells launched a very new disciple in the medical research field. Stem cells are unspecialized immature cells capable of differentiating into any possible mature cell. Scientists and researchers are working towards identifying and characterizing populations of tumor-cells that acquire stem cell like properties and thus act as a potential source of therapeutic resistance. Also, the 'National centre of cell science' was the first to provide evidence that the ovarian cancer is a result of stem cell dysfunction. Their stem cell cancer research extensively provides evidence of a tumor specific endothelial hierarchy capable of a crucial role in ensuring a long- term survival and complementing cancer stem cell- driven tumor development & progression, by developing its vasculature.


    Other research institutes that have been constantly involved in the field of research and have delivered equally impressive results include


    • 'Reliance Life Science', Mumbai, having the work done on hES cell lines as the landmark achievement and becoming the proud first research institute from India to be accepted and listed in the UK stem-cell registry.


    • NIRM, Chennai, they have set up a CES-Bank (Corneal Endothelial Stem- cell Bank).


    • LV Prasad Eye institute, they have been able to develop corneal limbal stem cells.


    • Kamalnayan Najaj Institute of research in vision and opthalmology, Stempeutics, Life cell, Advanced cell Therapeutics, Cryocell etc. to name a few more.


    Not only in medical field, but we have also progressed remarkably in the field of material sciences. Material sciences have had a vast history and long tradition in India, and have become one of the leading countries in Asia, encouraging development. India has been ranked 6th and IIT, the Indian institute of technology has been ranked 20th among institutes, in the field of research in material science globally. The main areas of focus at present are nano- science, which acts as a bridge between chemistry and physics, solar cells, fuel cells, electronics and polymerization.
