development of strategies for conservation<br />
of indigenous livestock and<br />

banks for genes of interest. The<br />
institution will also act as an<br />
interface between public institutions<br />
and industries in animal<br />
biotechnology. A key feature of<br />
NIAB is that it will function as an<br />
incubator for start up companies and<br />
also develop trained manpower for<br />
industry. It will forge partnership<br />
with national and international<br />
institutions and industry involved in<br />
medical, veterinary and animal<br />
science research and product/<br />
process development.<br />

Indo-EU collaboration in<br />
<strong>Biotech</strong>nology<br />
Strengthening Indo-EU cooperation<br />
in Science and Technology, the<br />
European Commission and the<br />
Government of India announced<br />
two new co-funded research projects<br />
in the area of Food and Nutrition<br />
research. These projects will bring<br />
together Indian and European<br />
research teams in the areas of<br />
“Development of functional foods<br />
and Ingredients” and the<br />
“Valorization of by-products in food<br />
processing”. Both European<br />
Commission (Research Directorate<br />
General) and the Government of<br />
India (Department of<br />
<strong>Biotech</strong>nology) will invest 3 million<br />
Euros each (Rs.17.5 crores each) on<br />
these projects which are expected to<br />
be completed in 3 years. The two<br />
joint projects are expected to<br />
increase the innovation potential of<br />
both the European and Indian food<br />
industry, in particular SMEs. Such<br />
projects would also help engage in<br />
India-EU exchange of researchers,<br />
for mutually beneficial capacity<br />
building. <br />

In Rememberance<br />
Dr M. R. Heblé (76 years), a distinguished scientist and DBT's long-time Task Force<br />
Member passed away on 19 May 2010 after a brief illness at Mumbai. A post-graduate in<br />
organic chemistry, Dr Heblé did his PhD in botany and worked at the Bhabha Atomic<br />
Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai for most of his active life. He worked with some of the<br />
world's leading scientists such as Professor E. J. Staba at the University of Minneapolis<br />
and Professor E. Reinhardt at the University of Tubingen. Dr Heblé established a unit of<br />
medicinal and aromatic plants at BARC. His pioneering work on demonstration of<br />
cellular heterogeneity for biosynthetic pathways and bioreactor systems for cell, tissue and<br />
organ culture has paved the way for many others who followed him in this area. His major<br />
contribution spread over 80 publications include better understanding of plant-based<br />
drugs such as camptothecin, artemisinin, digoxin, ajmaline, ajmalicine and several<br />
steroids. Following his retirement from BARC, Dr Heblé established strong research groups at Kelkar's Scientific<br />
Research Centre, and the Institute of Agriculture and <strong>Biotech</strong>nology for Rural Youth, both at Mumbai.<br />
Always courteous and easy to approach, Dr Heblé was ever ready to share his knowledge and experience<br />
with his peers and younger scientists, and generously gave his time and talent toward shaping national policies. He<br />
served with distinction as a member of DBT's Task forces on Plant <strong>Biotech</strong>nology (three terms) and Medicinal &<br />
Aromatic Plants (two terms). His sudden death is a shock to all of us. DBT will miss an old friend and wise<br />
counsellor. May his soul rest in peace!<br />
