THSTI

What THSTI does

THSTI (Translational Health Science and Technology Institute) is a government research institute established in 2009, operating under the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India. It is one of the flagship institutes of the Biotechnology Research and Innovation Council (BRIC), headquartered within the NCR Biotech Science Cluster in Faridabad, Haryana. The institute's mission is to integrate medicine, science, and technology for translational health science research, bridging laboratory discoveries with clinical applications across vaccine development, infectious diseases, maternal and child health, and clinical trials. It serves government healthcare priorities, the academic research community, and, to a lesser extent, industry partners through technology licensing and collaborative research.

The institute's core offerings span four areas: (1) translational research conducted across thematic research centers; (2) educational programs including a PhD program in collaboration with JNU, MAHE, RCB, and Osaka University, and an M.Sc. in Clinical Research with specialization in Clinical Trials; (3) scientific services delivered through a centralized platform providing specialized equipment and expertise to external researchers; and (4) intellectual property management via a patents and licensing program that transfers developed technologies to commercial and public health applications. THSTI also runs specialized training programs such as the THSTI Advanced Course in Vaccinology (TIVaC), short-term training, and workshops including the 2026 Symposium and Hands-on Training on Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing with CAR-T focus.

THSTI does not operate as a commercial enterprise. Its revenue mechanics are government funding and competitive research grants as primary sources, with technology licensing as a secondary stream. Pricing models are not applicable in the commercial sense. The institute engages in continuous recruitment of researchers, technical staff, and data scientists, operates within a multi-university academic ecosystem, and distributes its outputs through peer-reviewed publications, scientific conferences, technology licensing, and training program enrollments. Customer concentration is structurally high, anchored by central government funding, with academic and industry collaborators as supporting segments.
