Focus Areas of The Centre
The major areas on which the centre strives to achieve excellence are information sciences, Life sciences, mathematics, physics, bioinformatics, nanobiology, cryptography, network security, communications engineering and natural language processing.
The centre is also concentrating on producing exceptional individuals in the field of clinical research. Clinical research in India has the fundamental merits of sparse federal oversight, and a drug-unexposed population. Accordingly, the centre has started a course "Post Graduate Certificate Program in Clinical Trials Management". The clinical trials course at the centre offers its trainees a headstart with multinationals who wish to use these unprecedented opportunities for drug trials (Phase II) in India. It is offered both full-time and part-time and is a first such course offered by a public-private institution.

Famous quotes containing the words focus, areas and/or centre:
“If we focus mostly on how we might have been partly or wholly to blame for what might have been less than a perfect, problem- free childhood, our guilt will overwhelm their pain. It becomes a story about us, not them. . . . When we listen, accept, and acknowledge, we feel regret instead, which is simply guilt without neurosis.”
—Jane Adams (20th century)
“... two great areas of deafness existed in the South: White Southerners had no ears to hear that which threatened their Dream. And colored Southerners had none to hear that which could reduce their anger.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 1, ch. 16 (1962)
“Old politicians, like old actors, revive in the limelight. The vacancy which afflicts them in private momentarily lifts when, once more, they feel the eyes of an audience upon them. Their old passion for holding the centre of the stage guides their uncertain footsteps to where the footlights shine, and summons up a wintry smile when the curtain rises.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)
