    A scientific reminiscence of 2021

    Today as we enter a New year, we bring to you a retrospect of the marvelous scientific advancements and developments in the year 2021. We interacted with a few of our colleagues at CSIR-IGIB for their views and opinions regarding the scientific advancements in various fields of science.  While relishing the memories of the past year let us hope that we will be able to cross more milestones this year and step into pandemic free upcoming years!
