IIT Madras to address health issues with the help of THSTI
To address the public health issues, IIT-Madras has entered into an agreement with the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI) which will help the institute to predict adverse pregnancy outcomes with the help of the technology. THSTI is an autonomous institute of Department of Biotechnology. The agreement of research collaboration was signed on Friday during conclave on 'Transforming Maternal and Child Healthcare Using Data Science'. "The collaboration is aimed at bringing physician-scientists, biologists, engineers and data scientists together to solve public health problems related to maternal and child health," a statement issued by IIT-M said. In practical terms, the advance analytical approach will be applied to predict the adverse pregnancy outcomes, evaluate maternal and childhood consequences of exposure to environmental pollutants, among others. Gagandeep Kang, executive director at THSTI said that massive data sets and new advancements in analytical technologies will help in determining the changes at organism, organ system, cellular and molecular levels. "For this there has been limited capacity in India sofar. We look forward to working with the IIT-M's IBSE to address problems in maternal and child health through deep engagement and integration," Kang said in a statement.
