Bengaluru, Oct 14 (UNI) The Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platform (C-CAMP) has signed an agreement with Agilent Technologies to pave the way for research and technology development in the sector of biosimilars and biopharmaceuticals, a core strength of both the organizations.
The agreement will primarily focus on mass spectrometry-based biotherapeutics/biosimilar characterization, a platform C-CAMP champions with its existing state-of-the art mass spectrometry facilities across proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, glycomics and biologics research.
Through this partnership, both organizations will leverage each other’s capabilities to hold joint training sessions and seminars for researchers across biopharma/biosimilars start-ups and established companies.

"This partnership is a win-win for both C-CAMP and Agilent as it will provide access to high-end technology platforms such as Agilent’s to researchers, innovators and startups during the crucial product development phase."
Dr Samir Vyas, Agilent India Country General Manager, said: "This is a unique collaboration in India where Agilent’s partnership has a greater vision to align with a flagship program named ‘Innovate in India (I3)’, enabling an ecosystem to promote entrepreneurship and manufacturing capabilities."
